A new year,a new start at the things i wanna do!

I always like when a new year comes around . I like to plan and dream of things we'll do as a family, or things i'd like to do differantly like going on a walk at least a few times a week, drinking lots of water and eating more nutritious food, or having a meaningful quiet time squeezed in sometime during the time i rush out the door in the morning, stop at the store and do my thing there then come home, get my Ellie off to bed for naptime ,rush around doing loads of laundry and rush back to school, pick up school kids and then home for more food to be prepared and devoured, clean up and then its bedtime! Long sentence, but that has been my life for the past 3 years and did i get my quiet time in there? NOOOOO So that is a huge need in my life right now.
I have rooms I'd like to redo and sort out all the unused stuff and the outgrown clothes and ORGANIZE my life a little! I'd like to do some freezer meals so I'm not scrambling at suppertime to get something other than breakfast food on! ( even tho we love breakfast any time of the day) I'd like to socialize more with friends and have company over more and take more time to go outside in the sun and just sit. . . no books, no snacks, no looking around and seeing all the work this place needs yet that I'm itching to get to! Just laying in my lush green grass (that i don't have) and thinking about all the blessings that i have and how my life has been good and how many people do not have half of what i have. . .
There, thats my wish list. Oh yes I do want to blog more. My life isnt exciting like some and i'm not a gourmet cook that shares recipes but i do enjoy it, if for nothing else than it be a diary of sorts.
So here we are . . . . the parents of a teenage driver and i have to say he has made me proud in how careful he is! But the nicest thing has been for him to be able to take the girls to school and do some running for me . . A huge help! We just bought a third vehicle, so now Ellie and I can come and go as we please! But there has been some changes at the store until spring. . We are short staffed at the store so yours truly is filling in 4 days a week, no small task on this moms part! Its the best part of the year for it to happen 'cause were slow in January and February anyway, so Ellie goes with me ,Norv has her part of the day when it gets busy over lunch time and puts her down for a nap,so far its been working! But that means big time help around the house from everybody and they have been so good at that,clothes washing and meals and they do the dishes! I have to say its been good for all of us,if we can handle the schedule till March! My family has been praying extra much for me and i do need it! Next on my to do list: our employee supper this week that was supposed to happen before Christmas only we went to the south! And Ellie is in need of glasses so we are waiting on those to come in,hopefully her lazy eye will straighten up. It showed up out of the blue one day . . . But her dad had bad eyes as a kid so no surprise on where it came from. I can' t believe our kids all escaped it except now her! It will be a challenge to keep glasses on her i'm afraid.
