I want to...

Everything lately seems like it's about numbers, schedules, work, bills, appoiments, 

numbers, bills and more work...

I just want to...

take a nap in a hamack,

paint a picture,

go on vacation,

scrapbook,

bake some goodies,

swim in a pool,

try a new restaurant,

lay in a tanning bed,

lay on my couch & read all day,

take some black & white photos,

cook-out,

smell the beach breeze,

watch some fireworks,

plant some flowers,

smell a beautiful vase of flowers on my desk,

go fishing,

get a tattoo,

go shoe shopping,

paint my kitchen,

go purse shopping,

I want a vacation! I want some creative time!

Just had to say that all out loud.

Okay, I'm done...

for now...

End of the Year...

Well, Christmas has come & gone...as well as New Year's Day.

My little munchkin-Christmas 2010

This holiday season seemed to fly by. 

It was a great time for myself & my family.

 I'm happy that we all got to spend time together. 

Another thing I am thankful for this Christmas is that I was 

for the 1st time I was able to buy Christmas presents without completely 

stressing out about paying the bills, buying presents, etc etc. 

I don't mean to sound materialistic; it's just an accomplishment 

and a blessing to finally be on the 

right track financially.

We've got a ways to go of course, 

but it was so nice to not have to worry so much. 

Know what I mean? 

Anyway...2011 is here...

And  I am determined to make it a FABULOUS year! 

I have some heavy new years resolutions, 

and I plan on stickin' to 'em! 

That in itself is a resolution. 

I'm not very good at staying on track...

I get bored, I forget, I come with something else,

and then get bored and forget about it too. 

I'm a little ADD, okay, maybe a lot ADD. 

BUT, that is a goal...

STICK WITH THINGS, FOLLOW THROUGH

FOCUS MARGAUX!! 

GOAL #1. 

Clean out the clutter! 

I am TERRIBLE about clutter, 

but I am sooo tired of it. 

SO, I am cleaning out my closet, 

I know I won't EVER 

be a size 0, hell,

 I won't be a size 3 ever again. 

So there is NO use keeping clothes I won't

ever wear! 

GOAL #2. 

GET FIT!! 

I have a gym membership, 

I have a shake weight

 (thanks Dad & April!!)

And I have a Kinect, 

which is a workout even without the fitness games!

So I have no reason 

to put off getting fit. 

The past 2 yrs I have put on so

much weight. And I don't like it, damnit! 

 I miss being cute & skinny, and

most of all 

I miss feeling good about myself! 

This is my motivation photo---THIS was AFTER

I had Cyrus sooo it IS possible!! 

Damn, what happened!?!? 

Goal #3. 

Scrapbook More! 

I love to scrapbook, I love my photos

of my family & friends. Yet, it has been 

over a year since I have scrapbooked. 

I've got plenty of stuff, plenty of photos, 

I just need to get them printed & get going! 

You gotta have a hobby, 

You gotta do what you love! 

Goal #4. 

Enjoy the last few "baby" months

before he goes to Kindergarten! 

Okay, so technically he hasn't been a baby for quite some

time, but it just seems like once he's actually in school...

real school, not preschool...that he will no longer be MY BABY! 

Any bit of lingering baby-ness will dissolve 

one he walks through those elementary school doors. 

This is a saddening thought for a mama. 

So my goal is to soak up as much time with him

having fun,  doing mommy & son things, 

things school kids can't do! 

This was then...

And this is now. 

And Goal #5. 

ENJOY EVERY DAY! 

I mean it, I want to enjoy every day. 

Life is precious, so fleeting, and so important. 

My goal is to quit worrying about the little stuff, 

& cherish each moment. 

Less griping with the husband over nonsense, 

less fussing at the kiddo for things that don't matter, 

less worrying over things that can't, won't or don't need to change

&& JUST BE HAPPY! 

WISHING EVERYONE A HAPPY 2011!!

Here are a few of my favorites: 


A baby has a special way of adding joy in every single day.

A baby is born with a need to be loved - and never outgrows it.
-- Frank A. Clark


Babies are bits of stardust, blown from the hand of God.

Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.
-- Elizabeth Stone




Take a sprinkling of fairy dust,
An angel's single feather,
Also a dash of love and care,
Then mix them both together.
Add a sentiment or two,
A thoughtful wish or line,
A touch of stardust, a sunshine ray...
Its a recipe, for a Baby Girl truly fine.
