I love Friday's. I love them so much in fact, I have the word "Friday" tattooed on my wrist! Truthfully, that is not the original story behind that tattoo, but that will keep for another day. For now, that's my story- and I'm stickin' to it!
Reasons to Love Them:
-They are the busiest day out of the week in my office, therefore the day flies by.
-I get to have a lunch date with my love.
-I know I am about to have two days off from work.
-New movies come out.
-Most people are in better moods.

When it rains, It Pours!
Over the last few years I have tried to develop a system for buying groceries and household items to avoid having staples all run out at once. I have been generally fairly successful with this- until this week that is!
I am currently in the process of potty training my daughter, and have just recently done the same with my son. Tuesday morning, my lovely princess unrolled and subsequently shredded an entire roll of toilet paper while I was doing the breakfast dishes. Tuesday afternoon, my son decided it would be a fun idea to dunk an entire roll of toilet paper into the toilet. (He also decided it is not nearly as fun to remove said item!) Needless to say, with their recent obsession with all things bathroom-related, toilet paper was added to the list!
I have also learned that when my babies stay home with Nesto while mommy is at work, they eat A LOT of food! Wiped out all of the milk, juice, bread, apple butter, strawberry jam, and cereal.
Recent long hours at work have lead to lack of time to hit the grocery store, and therefore my list has grown to be an outrageously lengthy one. This is one girl that is NOT looking forward to the inevitable trip to the store tonight after work.
Say it with me-
Must.Go.To.The.Store.No.More.Procrastinating!

"Mama Said There'll Be Days Like This"
I should have known how this day would go from the moment it started. I woke up late, did a mad dash around the house and managed to get my coffee made and ingested enough to get my eyes to the partially open status. I threw on one of my favorite outfits- a very short charcoal grey dress, black tights and my amazingly hot black boots. I say amazingly hot because I routinely get stopped in public, (or yelled to from a car) by people telling me how bangin' they really are and to inquire as to where it was I purchased these lovely four inch-heeled, cuffed and buckled masterpieces! I also love this outfit because not only does it look fantastic, it is one of the most comfortable outfits I own, perfect for a Friday! I managed to throw on some make-up, pull my hair back and look reasonably pulled together considering the amount of time I actually had to get ready!
Much to my dismay, I had to wake up both of my babies who were sleeping like angels. I hate having to wake them up, and they hate even more that they were so rudely awakened by a blast of below-freezing air as we stepped out the door! I carried Aidan out first, who promptly started screaming that he wanted to go back inside the house and lay down in his bed. Then came princess, who kept rubbing her eyes, covering them with her hand, and then peeking out- as if somehow in the interim while her eyes were closed she would open them and magically be back in her cozy bed. After four or five attempts at this, she realized it was indeed reality and started to cry.
I managed to get the kids dropped off and made it to work only five minutes late. There have been nothing but disasters to field and more paperwork than I even know what to do with. I have now been here since 8:35 AM and have gotten up from my desk exactly once... and I still have 2 hours left. I am irritable, tired and hungry. Hmmm... speaking of hungry- I still have to figure out what we are having for dinner. And go to the store and get everything to make it. And then go pick up the kids. And then go home and make it. FML TGIF.

Resolution
New Year's Resolutions. Love 'em or hate 'em, you know the conversation is bound to come up this time of year. The inevitable discussion of what you want to change in your life during the following year. Be it bad habits to break, or good habits to gain I think everyone has personal goals whether you call them New Year's resolutions or not.
I don't have any elaborate resolutions this year. My main goal is to match my outward appearance to the woman I feel I have become inside. I have worked very hard to get my life in order and I want that reflected when people see me. I know this might sound vain or self-absorbed, but I feel it is very important. I want to look like the healthy, confident and put together woman I have found within myself.
The first step in this transformation was dying my hair. A new look for the new me. (I think it makes me look more mature and therefore I am taken more seriously!) I have also been taking steps to update my wardrobe to be young and hip, but more womanly and less teen-ish. I want to continue this trend until I am completely in love with every item in my closet and can feel confident walking out the door every single day.
The last thing I want to accomplish is to get to a weight where I am healthy and look amazing. I don't want to fad diet, but make permanent changes in my daily choices to be a healthier person, not just get skinny.
Whatever your endeavors for personal growth this coming year, I wish you all the best of luck!
