Progress Update and other ramblings

I was doing a check at my goals/objectives for 2009 and thought I would give a breif progress update on the hits and misses.....

Try a new recipe 2-3 x a month---I have hit this one out of the part, this month alone I think I have tried 5 new recipes. I have also been planning my meals for the week ahead of time which I need to add to my list because this is a huge thing for me. Helps me during the week so I am not contantly thinking what are we goign to eat plus it is saving me money at the grocery store because I am only going once a week

Read one book a month- I should complete this month, I have less than 100 pages left in my boo, I am reading Tribute by Nora Roberts (my favorite author) I forgot how much i love reading....

Change the cat litter 2x a week- I did well on this for the first 2 weeks of Jan but have failed to do it more than once the last 2 weeks. Time to get back on teh wagon

Play a game with DH once a week ( we did this well for a week or 2 but haven't lately...i think i will start tonight

Eat at least 2 servings of veggies at least 5x a week-I have been doing this I am mostly sticking to my meal plan

Limit Alchohol to 2x a week---I don't think I have made this goal once this month, but I have reduced it to 3x a week and I am thinking thsi is a more realistic goal for me, as I really enjoy a glass of wine in teh evenings especially on weekends

That is about it for my updates to date I think.

On another totally unrelated note, I have to share my sad thoughts I have had this week. After Izzy's party I packed up her high chair because i was sick of cleaning it and she does just fine in the booster seat...I was doing fine until it was all cleaned and folded up....then I started crying. I think the reality of the fact that Izyz is no longer a baby and that she will probably be my only baby finally caught up with me. I am so sad about this but I also know how blessed I am to have Izzy. I wish it could be different, and I am never going to say never but I think unless a crazy miracle happens, we are done................:(

On a postive note, I was talking to DH about an aquaintance from my old job who I just found out she was pg, and i thought she never wanted kids, and she is 6 years older than me. And I made a rude comment like "she probably got pg on the first try" and he said to me --"If you got pg on the first try we would never have Izzy" and even though I know this it really struck me when he said it and made me in a strange way so thankful for infertility because I can't imagine life without her! So as sad as I am, I know this is what was meant to be for us............
