I was hoping to accomplish so much this week, most especially getting the Christmas decorations put away, and after that I wanted to make a start on 'prettying' up the house! I love January for that 'fresh start' feeling, I'm always ready with great intentions of decluttering, cleaning out cubboards and closets, organizing my 'stuff'. Surfing around blogland AND Pinterest really gets me motivated - but am I doing any of this? NO!!!
Instead I'm feeling lousy, feeling run down, feeling like I have no energy whatsoever, and to be honest it is BUGGING THE LIFE OUT OF ME!! I hate when I don't feel 100%. Just two days ago I felt great, ready to get back to the gym (I went and worked out for 75 minutes with Cheryl), ready to start eating healthy again, planning menus and grocery shopping for all that yummy fresh stuff I love. And today, I can hardly pack a few baubles away without having to take a rest on the sofa! It's no fun I tell you. I do feel better than I did yesterday, but still, I just don't feel like I have enough energy to do all the things I want to do - hence the reason I'm sitting here at my computer desk for a rest, after putting more of the upstairs Christmas stuff away.
One day at a time . . . isnt' that what they say. I'll just do a little, one day at a time.
So, did you notice my new header? I changed out the background from Christmas to 'every day', and I added a photo to the header, that was taken a few years ago when we first moved to Texas. This was part of the view from the house we had built. Kristen was only 3 yrs old at the time - I thought I'd share with you the 'front' of that picture that Jason took that day.Why? Because I haven't taken any new pictures this week . . .
and . . . because I LIKE it :-)
OK, so rest over, I guess I should go try to do something else around the house. All of the Christmas stuff is packed away, I'm happy to say, but it's still sitting in the hallway waiting to go in to the garage. Once I get a little cleared up I am thinking of taking photos of around here and adding a 'Home Tour' to my blog! Don't hold your breath though, it could take a while. Have a great day, I hope you're feeling 100%, and if you're not, I hope you get better soon.

Feel better, Denise!!!
Feel better sweetie! Love the header - and the front shot is adorable too!
I just found your blog and I love it. It is so true about the new year, fresh start and longing for that so organized home. Come visit me at lynns homespun country, I would love for you to join my site. I haven not been blogging for long, but I do love it. Lynn
So sorry you're not feeling well, Denise. Doesn't it just drive you crazy when you're motivated to get stuff done but aren't feeling up to actually doing it?!?
I LOVE the photo of you and Kiki on the wall. She is so absolutely adorable! And the photo from behind looks great as a blog header.
My poor friend... I'm sad you're feeling so under the weather. I hope you're back to 100% soon.
I need to get to starting to de-Christmas the house. I was going to wait another week but I'm starting to feel silly holding on to the holidays - ha ha.
I love that picture of you & Kiki... that was not long after we'd met that first time before your move. Amazing how fast the years have gone by!
Rest up & I'll be praying for a quick recovery for you ;-) xo
hope you feel better & full of energy soon.
Love the header photo :O)

Sorry to her you're sick...I hope you feel better soon.
I know what you mean about decluttering, organizing, etc.--I feel exactly the same right now!
Rest up and take care!
I love the "front view" of you and Kristen. The view you had was amazing! I hope you're feeling better. It can be frustrating when your mind wants to do things but your body won't let you.
Hi Denise! Hope it's just a little of the after-Christmas letdown and you'll be feeling great soon- you have that upcoming trip to motivate you! Yes, all tomatoes should be kept out of the refrigerator and seperate the bananas at the stem so they aren't touching. That's what the experts say. As an alternative, you can use a banana hanger because that's supposed to help, too, since they don't bruise when hanging.
I understand. I've had low energy for a long time now as well Denise. I never considered my allergies being the cause? I'll have to get an appointment with an allegist soon. I've been meaning to do that.
Are you guys possibly moving? I hope all is well sweet friend.
