It's amazing...

I knew that I was struggling in the past year or so to be my happy self. I use to be so easy going, such an optimist, usually very happy and spontaneous. But I have struggled with a short temper and irritability. And I hated it! I especially hated being short with my kids. I would get mad over the littlest of things. But I have noticed that, since my surgeries, I have been a much happier person! I laugh about things instead of getting mad. I play with my kids more. And I am much easier to get along with. I think that my body knew it was sick and just was unable to deal with things the way that I would have liked. I could be reading too much into things, but my attitude has completely changed in the last month. I am a happier person and I am loving and enjoying life again! I love it! And I'm sure that those around me are loving it too...I know my kids are!

I am going to make this short and sweet tonight. I have been busy cleaning house today, it's getting late and I am exhausted. I finally just decided that I am tired of the clutter in my house and am starting to do something about it. We just have too much stuff for our little house. So I decluttered one of the counters and the top of the white cabinet in the kitchen. As well as the top of the fridge. I am planning on taking this next week to declutter as much as I can. Along with the day to day things that need to be done...dishes, laundry, picking up toys, etc. I am just to the point that I have to do something. Otherwise, my head is going to explode!

I have also decided that I am going to start doing Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred again. Starting on monday. I had started to do it a couple of months ago. But, due to the increasing frequency of my gall stone attacks, I was unable to continue. But I had started to lose some weight with the few times that I had done it and I have lost some after my surgeries. So I definitely want to keep that trend going. And I am going to do everything that I can to do so. I am looking forward to feeling even more healthy as I lose the pounds. I know that it will boost my attitude even more as I feel better about myself.

Well, I think that is it for tonight. I am struggling to keep my eyes open. So off to bed, I go.
