ADD Filled Stress-Induced Ranting...

I have decided it's time for me to figure out how to be a grown up. Just a little bit. Not too much.
I now have 3 children.
My house is officially the messiest it has ever been and I'm not a neat freak, I'm ok with a little mess. However, it's now out of control.
I found myself at Wal-Mart yesterday wearing dirty running shoes, scrub pants, my dad's oversized t-shirt with spit up down the front, hair falling all over the place, a crying baby and 2 boys climbing on anything that was taller than 6 inches. (But let's face it, I was at Wal-Mart so I wasn't too far from blending right in)
I absolutely love my job but am too exhausted to be productive when I'm there.
I am trying to get back in shape after having #3 by sitting on the couch beside the pile of toys eating popcorn. (It's not working) I actually put on workout clothes today after work, we will see if I make it out the door.
and did I mention I turn 30 next month... I would like to have it a little more together than I do now by 30. I know no one has it all together and I may never have it all together and that is totally fine, just need it to be a little more than it is now.

I like things neat, including my house and appearance. Perfect is not necessary and a little chaos is ok, however, I can't figure out how to make the chaos simmer down. I'd even be ok with organized chaos. I have a lot of organizational tips and tricks that help me get my mind straight and prioritize what needs to be done and keep the adult ADD in check but they're not exactly being utilized right now. There's not a clean spot on the bar to put the list :) 

I have been following a few blogs that I can't go a day without reading, they are precious and inspirational for me. I want to be able to write here daily like those cool ladies do. However I do know that they generate income from their blogs, some of them it is their job, to maintain their blog, have sponsors, and hundreds/thousands of readers.
I love this little blog it is an amazing outlet where I can be myself and it can be all mine. I can talk about my workouts, trying to learn how to cook, decorating my house, fun projects I've tried, the 3 most adorable kids and hottest husband ever. It's a super cool online journal that won't get lost in my messy house. My messy house that I'm ignoring right now because I don't even know where to start :) 
But I keep thinking about those other blogs, the big ones, that have people asking them advise or to post tutorials, wanting to know more about the author. I would love to have that... I am planning on giving this little blog an overhaul to look a little more professional for all 6 of my followers (I love all 6 of you! xo)
Maybe I'll start with a name that doesn't have the phrase 'up your nose' in it...

Some Late Christmas Love

I just wanted to share just a little of the fun we had this Christmas...
I bought new stockings this year and they were a little boring, we needed a way to add a little personalization so I made these letters out of scrap fabric and felt.
I just attached them with straight pins for now, next year I will figure something out a little more permanent.
This was our Christmas morning breakfast...
And breakfast the next day, because it was way too cute not to do both ideas...
This is a tunnel you drive through on our light tour, there was no one behind us so we got the boys out.
 Christmas cartoons playing in an empty parking lot at the end of the light tour... I love San Angelo!
My favorite boys!
 Stuffing something in his sisters stocking :)

 Protecting us on our way to PaPa and Grammys house.
 Pure Awesome!
