TGIF

Yawn... so sleepy sleepy today.... you can definitely tell it's the end of the week. I am really looking forward to this weekend because I pretty much have nothing to do! It is the first PAJAMA WEEKEND 2010... WOOHOO! I am going to start doing some baking, I have to do cookies for some meetings Johnny has coming up and his Men's Retreat Fundraiser that is coming up and and and and... I am sure i will have plenty of people that are going to want some as soon as they catch a wiff. I made about 4 loaves of banana bread last night but I am not too happy with my recipe, Johnny says they are good but I think they are a little bland... I tried adding vanilla and extra brown sugar and it didn't help... My goal this weekend is to stay in Pajamas as much as possible (priorities) and to finish up the laundrey and get it put away AND organize my closet.

Here we are almost halfway through the first month of the New Year and I haven't mentioned resolutions. One thing I always tell myself to do at the start of a New Year is to buy a journal to put bucket list items, things I want to do before I leave this earth... still haven't bought that journal but I have that list (or what i can remember of it) in my head... This year is a landmark year for the Sauceda Family, Noah will be turning 5 and Johnny will be turning 40 in March and I will be turning 40 in December.... When I got my new weekly planner I started inputting all the 'important dates' and almost had an anxiety attack, we really don't have a month without something eventful... February Noah's bday, Johnnys dad's bday, valentines day, Johnnys Mens retreat, March Johnny's bday, Jessica's bday, April Momo's bday and Easter, May Mothers day, beach to bay and Graduation, June Graduation party and TJ's bday, July VACATION - coast trip, August School starts, festival, Jeremy's bday, September Church Festival, Bdays, October sisters bdays and Halloween... tired... and then all the stuff in between LOL. I wouldn't change a thing, seriously...
My focus this year is to work on traditions, Noah is now getting to where he asks questions and remembers more, so I want to do things that will show him how important it is to stay focused and God first and our family. When I say family I mean all the people in our lives we consider family as well, our family is not just those people that we are related to, it is all the people we love and they are each and every one a special part of our lives. I want to start with our first Pajama movie night, tonight... potluck.... it will be fun... and there will be laughing and eating and surely some fighting (the kids that is)... but there will be plenty of love
