YOU DRIVE ME NUTS... I DRIVE MYSELF NUTS
Ok so it's not before dawn but it is kind of close... While Todd was cleaning out my parents lap top we found the below clip of Ty from a couple years back. (I cannot download it yet but as soon as I can I will- In the clip Ty is saying "you drive me nuts" over and over)
On our 1st date alone
How adorably cute if I do say so myself! Not to mention the ironic-ness of the catch phrase ' you drive me nuts!' To put it bluntly I have been going nuts and that is part of the reason I have not been my usual 'happy blogger' embarking in other's journeys and frolicking on etsy for hours. I have lost control of the control part of my life and found my self too tired and or too grumpy to do anything about it.
UNTIL NOW!
Between 6 days a week at my paid job and full time as a mum and wife I have not been able to manage it. I feel when I succeed in one area I am failing miserably in another. I can't seem to get caught up on anything, I like food way too much, I swear A LOT, I don't read my scriptures as often as I should. The one thing I seem very consistent at is prayer!! LOL I seem to be doing that about every 10 seconds, I just need to pick up my lazy butt and do something about my attitude.
For those that know me, you know I can... well... exaggerate and this whole rotten attitude I have has become a monstrosity and that is no exaggeration.
Despite the coincidence of my attitude adjustment falling on New Years Day, I don't want this to be a token resolution, I actually cant stand to be around myself I am afraid I might bite my own head off!
I can assure you I will slip up and be grumpy, eat a little too much chocolate and occasionally swear, but no more of this poor me, too tired bologna. At least I have a roof over my head a job to go to 6 days a week and a family that loves me unconditionally.
Here are some photographic reasons I should not be grumpy...
Olivia at 8 mths!
Dec.08 Todd drove through over 10 blizzards and 60 hours straight to be with me and our kids for Christmas
I make a mean "twin birthday carnival cake"!
I would include more photos however our laptop hit the dust and it contained them all! But on the bright side they were of my bad side so not much lost!
Heres to a UNGRUMPY New Year!

Happy New Year Chels! I'm glad you're back to blogging. This will be a reminder to me to not be grumpy too, there is so much for all of us to be grateful for.
Happy New Year. I hope this year brings you much joy and happiness. I love the photos you put up and I love the snow photo. I'm glad Todd made it to you safely that year and I'm glad your blogging again. You're an inspiration to me and I love how you always seem to make lemonade out of lemons.
May this New Year bring you a wonderful year.
I can't wait to see the clip of ty, so figure it out..in all your spare time:) I can't believe your hubby drove so far for the fam. such a good guy. Oh and i can't get over the cake. too cute!
geeze, i miss my canuck friends and want to come visit asap!
You work, raise children and blog--it is o.k. if you swear too! Hang in there it will get easier.
Chelsea, I just love your posts. They are just so realistic, and I mean that in a good way. They make me realize that there are likely NO perfect mothers and that we are all just trying our best and feeling unproductively guilty! You are amazing, and I hope you have a great new year ahead of you!
Chels- thanks for the comments, your too sweet. I love how honest you are in your posts. You have the cutest kids. I can't believe how far your hubby had to drive in that snow. So glad he made it safe.
WAY TO GO CHELS!!! It takes a lot of determination to make an attitude change. I'm still working on it, too. ;) You're such a great gal, Chels! Love you lots! P.S. That's an AWESOME cake you made!!!
