Goals and Projects Update

 I really do feel like I am meeting some goals I set for 2012! Having the next year just ahead of me, when I will be working full time, is a good motivator. I found that our Turkish television station has a workout program from 8-8:30AM. I've been getting the kids out the door, then doing that workout. It's something different everyday. Weights, pilates, aerobic. It's great that it is a set time every day. I can't put it off. Big Ben brings me my weights. He's still working on his situps, but he does join me somedays.

I've also finished my college course and sent off my paperwork for recertification in Tennessee. That was a great feeling. Next project? Repainting the house. It sorely needs it. The paint that was used when we moved in four years ago is not washable. I have 5 kids. When I try to clean fingerprints, I end up leaving big dirty streaks. I want to paint it myself to save the money, so I'm taking it one room at a time. First? Kitchen!  The kitchen was a butter-cream color. We decided to repaint it that same warm cream, but add one wall of brick red. I love how it turned out.
