A good week for mommy

We have had quite a good week so far.
On Sunday, we couldnt go to church because of the ice, so instead we just hung out at home. The kids were pretty good all day, so I was able to get some much needed housework done and also got to spend some nice time playing with Owen.
On Monday, it was quite cold (I think the high only got up to 31 or so), but the kids and I ventured out to go shopping with Grammi. It was nice to get out for a good part of the day. Since I work at home most of the time, I get a little cabin fever now and then. :) First we went to the mall in Frisco to buy me some new pants (Christmas present from Grammi - thank you!) We hit the jackpot at Gap and managed to purchase 8 pairs of nice pants for $36! (that's the total!) Needless to say, we were pleased with that adventure. Grammi got a few pairs for herself and I got several pairs that should last me a little while until I drop a few sizes. :) The we ventured over to Babies'R'Us to get our running stroller! Very exciting! Now it just needs to warm up 30 degrees so I can go use it! :) Owen and Ella were perfect angels for the whole day of shopping! Then we stopped by Grammi and Papa's house for some tacos and to visit with Papa before heading home. It was a fun day for all of us. :)
On Tuesday, we went to the doctor's office for Ella's 2 month check up, but I'll write more about that in the kid's blog.
Yesterday, it was cold and icy outside, so we just hung out here again. Owen's school was closed, so he was here with us. I tried to do some work, but most of my time was spent with Owen, but that's okay. :)

I dont know if it's just because I'm getting a little more sleep or because I'm eating a little better or because I finally started working out again, but I feel much better this week. I have a little more energy and feel much more positive. I'm sure it's a combination of all those things plus me making an effort to change my attitude, but I'm very thankful to be feeling better. :)
