This year I decided for my resolution, I would do dry January. So for the next 29.5 days I will be living off water and coffee. Yesterday was a rough day. I don’t think I have a drinking problem (although that depends on who you ask), but with little to no sleep, 2 kids running and screaming while grocery shopping, and a husband who was as patient as he could be with the whole situation, I have never wanted a beer and a day on a remote island more. Instead I drank a gallon of water, did laundry, put away the groceries, did the dishes, picked up the house, worked on my puzzle, bagged up clothes to give away, and did it all with a scowl on my face. Baby steps.

Today was a bit better. Started the day with 2 kids waking us up to cuddle with them. Then I slowly got out of bed, had 2 cups of coffee, got some cereal and pop tarts for the kids, and started cleaning the kitchen. My other half went to drop off stuff at a donation center and I’m now dealing with 2 kids arguing which Mac n cheese they want to eat for lunch. One is spiral and the other is unicorn. My bet is on the the 3rd option where I put both boxes away and they get PBJ sandwiches.
