2012 Resolutions Revisited
The Resolutions:
1) Cook a new recipe once a month. (And post them here if I like it.)

2) I'm up to 300 miles ran this year. :)
3) I have lost all of the baby weight!! A couple of months ago I accomplished this one!
4) Other than the boot camp class I haven't tried another fitness class or other class.

Books I've Read 2012
Books I've Read 2012
1. A Vintage Affair by Isabel Wolff
2. The World We Found by Thrity Umrigar This book was intriguing, a page turner, but it left me wanting more. I didn't feel the book had ended yet.
3. The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom Very powerful book. I kept wanting to put it down but not, if that makes sense. I was thinking that it would be a heartwarming book but it was a series of tragedies. I fell in love or hated some of the characters and was engrossed with the story the whole time. Definitely a book I'll be thinking about for some time.
4. The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh I'd actually like to give this book 3.5 stars but since I can't I went with 3. I was frustrated reading this book. I was angry with the main character and the way she was acting. Funny I'm using such bad terms for a book I liked. But I guess I was just very engrossed with the book and felt connected to the characters in such a way that I had strong feelings toward them.
5. Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes and the Greatest Race the World Has Seen by Chirstopher McDougall
6. Mrs. Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. I loved this book. It kept me enthralled and I loved the concept that the author wrote the book from some old photos he found at flea markets. I'm eagerly waiting the next book.
7. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
8. The Girl Who Chased the Moon by Sarah Allen Addison
9. The Hangman's Daughter by Oliver Potzch
10. Operating Instructions: A Journal of My Son's First Year by Anne Lamott Great book for mothers. I laughed out loud and commiserated with Anne and her first year of parenting.
11. The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern12. Seriously...I'm Kidding by Ellen Degeneres
13. Another Piece of My Heart by Jane Green I really liked this book. I don't know what part of it I was attached to, but it was a truly lovely story.
14. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins I was putting off reading this book because of the premise. But upon reading it, it wasn't as gory and I thought it would be. They actually made it seem okay in a way. It was a good read, hard to believe this is a young adult book, I had to imagine the characters as being older than they were in order to feel okay with the games. I'm eager to read the 2nd book to see where Suzanne Collins will take the story.

2012 up until now
2012 has been a busy one.
As of January 31, I decided to become a stay at home mom. Well, except for the spin class I teach weekly. I didn't realize how super busy I'd be staying at home. I seriously can't imagine doing the things I do plus working full time.
A typical week goes as follows:
Monday: Drop off kindergartner at 9:10 am. Rush off to Stroller strides class from 9:30 to 10:30 with 2 younger kids in the double BOB stroller. Play at the park after class from 10:30 to 11:45ish. Head home for lunch and to get the kids down for an early nap. Wake kids up at 2pm to pick up kindergartner. Play on the school playground till 3-3:30. Come home, start thinking about dinner. Feed snacks to the kids. Have kindergartner work on homework. 5:30pm hubby comes home. 6-6:30 eat dinner. 7-8pm, homework, pick up house, baths, etc. 8:30pm bedtime. 9pm-crash on couch to watch shows with hubby.
Tuesday: Drop off kindergartner at 9:10. Drop off preschooler at 9:40. Head to the trail to run with baby in the single BOB. Tuesday is my "relaxing day" I typically only run errands to stores I don't normally have on my weekly list. Or I clean house/laundry/meet up with friends. After 2pm my afternoon/evening is similar to Monday except with a preschool pick up anytime after 3:30.
Wednesday: Early day...kindergartner goes to school at 8:20. I take the two youngsters to the park or to Costco or to a playdate. Wednesday is a short day so we head back to the school to pick up eldest at 12:25. Then it's back home for lunch and naps for the young ones. Sometimes I have eldest watch tv or play quietly and I will cat nap. Afternoon I have to make dinner early because at 5:30pm I'm off to teach spin class.
Thursday: Same as Tuesday, but after I run, go to Costco if I didn't do it Wednesday. From 1:30 to 2:30pm I volunteer in my daughter's kindergarten classroom. (Sometimes my mother-in-law babysits the baby, sometimes I bring her with me.)
Friday: Same as Tuesday, sometimes I run, sometimes not. Definitely hit the grocery store on this day.
The weeks just FLY by! In fact, I can't believe it's the end of the school year. Summer seems daunting having the kids home pretty much every day, but I'm sure it'll be fall before I know it.
