I know I've said not too long ago that I'm getting my ass back in the gym, but to be honest I haven't been. I just can't seem to make myself go, and I find all kinds of excuses not to. I'm too tired, my back hurts, my head hurts, I'm sad, it's cold. Ugh! I just want to slap myself and scream "Get your ass up and Go!!" But then something hit me today, I was doing really good and I fell off the wagon. If I'd have stuck with it, I'd be half way to where I wanted to be by now. I started weight watchers in January last year. It's not December and I've gained back almost all of what it took me so long to lose in the first place. I'm so mad at myself!

{Another Christmas Program!}
On Monday my nephew had his Christmas program. Usually all of us go, my sister, her bf, my grandparents, and me with my kids. But this year the school did tickets and she only got 5 seats. Such BS. They wouldn't have to do that if they didn't have it in the smallest room of the high school. When I was in school they had it in the gym of that school. Plenty of room. Anyway, it was super cute! Mainly because he was in it and I heart that little monkey! They sang All I want for Christmas (is my two front teeth) and that Alvin and the Chipmunks song.

{I found pics!}
I love looking at old pictures. It one of my favorite things to do. So when I find some I haven't seen in a long time, I get kind of excited. Which is what happened today. I found an SD card in Gaiges room and decided to see what was on it (I'm a nosy mom like that). This is what I found.

{Boring Life = Boring Blog}
I'm sorry I haven't been blogging much lately. Even though I have no idea how many people are actually reading it lol. But I'm sure anyone who has lost someone close to them they understand. There just hasn't been that much to write about. I'd had every intention of doing blogmas this year but with pawpaw passing (oh my god that cuts like a knife) I haven't been in the Christmas Spirit. Which is sad because he wouldn't have wanted me to be like this. Not because of him. So I'm gonna attempt to get to doing some real blogging and not just about how sad I am.

{We Found Donnie!!}
I don't remember tmnt toys being so hard to come by last year. I guess the release of the new movie made everyone a little turtle crazy.
Owen picked out some tmnt action figures at Toys R Us the other day and they only had 2 (mike and raph) so that's what we bought. I have been on the hunt for the other 2 ever since. And yesterday we finally found another one at Target. Donnie of course! Now all we need is Leo and he should be set :).

{I said Goodbye}
I'm holding on by a thread today. I know that with time comes healing but for right now, a week later, it doesn't feel like there will ever be a moment that my heart is breaking.
The funeral was nice. I was nervous to see him that way. But he looked like himself. Like he was just going to wake up. He looked like he did so many times when I'd walked in their house and seen him on their couch. Snoring away lol. I expected him to sit up and say "hey Kristin what are you guys up to?" But he didn't. He just laid there.

{Christmas Songs!}
Tonight was Owens Christmas program at school. I know what you're thinking, "you've just lost someone you love dearly, why would you even attempt to go to something like this?" The answer is simple. My grandpa would have been so upset with us had I not gone. He would have never let us skip something for the kids because of him, never. And so I refused to skip it tonight. I'm glad I went. I cried a little, as the seat next to my grandma was empty. The seat he would have been sitting in. And his presence was missed at Steak 'N Shake after (it's tradition). But we powered through the hurt and the tears and it was a good night :).

{I Cry a Lot}
My world has been shattered. It will never be the same and for the life of me I don't think I'll ever be the same. I'm lost now. I'm lost and I don't want to be found because that is facing a reality far too painful to face.
On December 3rd at 11:15 pm, lying on my grandmas favorite couch, my grandpa passed away.

{ #blogmas Day 2: Christmas Eve Boxes}
I found this idea on Pinterest last year and thought it was an amazing idea. Our Christmas Eve is pretty laid back these days. We go to D's grandmas around noon and then the rest of our day is just hanging out at home. Sometimes we bake cookies or play games but I love the idea of new jammies and watching movies and eating popcorn. Its fun times!
Now last year I didn't get boxes I went ghetto and did bags. This year I went to Hobby Lobby and got some cute boxes this year. I can't wait for the kids to see them and open them. I already have them under the tree lol.

{32 Random Questions Tag! #youtube }
1.) Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed? I don't have closet doors.
2.) Do you take shampoo and conditioner bottles from hotels? Not usually. Most of the time they are crappy so I leave them alone. I travel with my own shampoo/conditioner
3.) Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out? The flat sheet is tucked in at the bottom but the rest of the blankets aren't.
