If you're a bird, I'm a bird

I had four goals for January. This is how they went. Spiritual goal was between God and I. I did pretty well; slipped a few times, but didn't beat myself up. Physical goal was to run/walk every Saturday and Sunday. We did it once a weekend (Sunday), instead of twice. With doing the chores on Saturdays, the exercising didn't get done too. We borrowed my aunt's jogging stroller. I pushed Grey and Joe pushed Lincoln. We'd do a mile at the track and warm-up and cool day on the way there and back. It worked best for us to go straight after church which was around 11:00. Lincoln could eat his snack in the stroller and then go down for his nap at noon when we got back. Grey slept during the walk. Financial goal was pretty easy. I didn't go to any consignment stores, flea markets, yard sales, or thrift stores during the month of January. As a matter of fact, I went to my first one today (February 15) since December. There is a thrift store on my way to pick-up the kid...

Knit something...SOMETHING! Let's just say it's been a while. I'm thinking a nesting bowl or a cowl. Read books because I love them. Bible too. Blog as often as I can about things I am interested in or things I need to get off my chest. Detox. I have been TTC, pregnant, or nursing since 2010 so I wasn't able to until now. Send my ministry proposal to Pastor Jamie via recorded video. Submit a job application.

Slowly, as he got older, Joe and I would turn it more while he was awake, even though he wasn't watching it. In the evenings after Lincoln was in bed, we had shows that we watched-Big Bang Theory, Master Chef, the Bachelorette/the Bachelor, the Biggest Loser, Survivor, Grey's Anatomy, HGTV. I looked forward to the evenings when we could sit and do nothing. We considered canceling our cable to save money. Cable was only $15 a month from Charter so there wouldn't have a lot of money saved. Time would have been saved. So when we moved to Beaufort in July, Joe didn't have a job yet, life was pretty overwhelming, and we only had wi-fi connected. Transitioning from television to no television probably couldn't have happened at a better time. Grey was still colicky and had thrush. We were trying to figure out life with two kids and both of u...
