On My Mind + December Goals

A few things that are on my mind:

+ Florida. I wish it were closer. We have two weeks off for Christmas and sitting here inside this polar vortex seems cruel. I used to enjoy the cold and snow and ice more. I'm afraid my kids are being kinda wimpy too. #mustgetoutmore #ugggh

+ Hair. We get it cut and it's too short. Then it grows. It's the perfect length for about four days #slightexaggeration and then it's too long. #repeatcycle Mine is at a good length right now. #enjoyingwhileitlasts

+ Darkness. I seem to be noticing it more this year. We're either at school or it's dark. Good thing they have three recesses. I miss our mid-day adventures by the lake.

+ Exercise. My goodness. This time of year is rigged. Food+morefood+coldtemps+darkness-exercise=grumpy and lumpy. It would be a good time of year to swim laps. If I could get my cold self out of bed and over to the pool.




December goals to keep us intentional and on task:
{here are last month's goals if you're curious -- not all completed, but most}
