Back to a Normal Routine

Ok, so I've been home from work since November 24th recovering from major surgery. Even though I've been "working from home", I'm so ready to go back to work. Not only will I get to socialize with people over the age of 3 but having a routine is good. Kudos to all you stay at home moms -- I don't know how you do it.

I'm also looking forward to getting the OK from the doctor on Monday to start working out again. I know my trainer is looking forward to getting me back in the gym so I can start toning again. Nothing is worse than having saging body parts. UGH!

Makenna starts back to school on Monday as well. YAY! She really does like preschool and I like having something to talk about at dinner. Normally everynight at dinner, we do a review of the things she learned that day, what made her happy and what made her unhappy. It's a good opportunity for us to discuss feelings and that we should be nice to people, not hit, use our words etc. The perfect parenting opportunities. Everyday there is a new situation that we need to discuss and learn from.

We are looking forward to a great 2009. 2008 was a bit of a challenge for our family and are looking forward to a fresh start. We also hope to do some traveling this year. We'd love to go back east to see Grandparents and greatparents. Maybe we'll also make it to Georgia in the fall to see my dad family.

Happy new year to all! Hope it's a happy and healthy one!
