Sick & tired of being sick & tired..

Wow. Is it really going to be February already? Time is flying entirely too fast! My life has been crazy busy lately and I've been definitely putting off this blogging scene for a bit. Oops! But I'm back. And hope to be a good little blogger.

I took on more hours at work so now I am working 2 weeks straight, then have a weekend off then start another 2 weeks straight. Eeek- I know! I thought I could juggle work, school and home life but it seems to be a bit too much. I plan to give it another few weeks to see if maybe I just need to get into a better routine.. we shall see! I'm still plugging along with school although my motivation to keep on keeping on with it has pretty much diminished. I've really had to push myself to get up and make it to class, let alone do the homework and readings.

On top of allll this, I've been trying to make sure I'm back home in Alaska for Ruthie-ann's first birthday, still battling to lose weight, and save money! It's been a rough month but I see the light. I know if I keep my head up and my goals in mind, it'll all be worth it in the end!

New Year, Semi-New Me! :)

Well, the budget for 2010 is made with the goals of paying down the credit cards we have and most importantly paying off the IRS! It's only like $500, but the idea of owing the government is scary! All in all, we only really have a combined total of about $1800.00 debt to credit cards and IRS. Not too bad, and I think if we really keep with this budget and pay extra to each credit card every month -we'll be debt free (or close to it!) in no time!

As for the dieting... it hasn't been going quite as well as I had hoped. But every day is a new day, and I try to make healthy choices. The hardest part I find in dieting is the exercise. I can honestly say that I hate exercise! But it's a rather large part in the whole healthy lifestyle experience.. Therefore, I must do it! :)
