Finding my balance

So baby P arrived on 12/8/2010, and I feel like my head is above water. Have been able to get out and about, handle dropping big sister E off at day-care, and get dinner on the table most nights. Need desperately to get out and go grocery shopping, but that won't be happening today. Baby daddy is off deer hunting tonight and there is no way that I'll be venturing to the grocery store with both kids in tow. One at a time is all I can handle out in public.

Trying to come up with a useful to-do list for next week as well as plan menus for the coming week so that I'll know what I need to get when I do make it out the store. Got two new kitchen toys as Christmas presents, the Ninja Master Prep and an electric pressure cooker from Cuisinart. Have used the pressure cooker once and the Ninja a few times...excited to see what they come up with. Also trying to be health conscious in my shopping and recipe prep. I think the automatic post-partum weight loss has left me about 6 lbs above conception weight, but that weight wasn't one I'm happy at....so weight loss is my next personal goal.

Speaking of which, today is new years day. Goals for the year:
1) Find engaging ways to enjoy my toddler.
2) Keep baby P happy and healthy.
3) Plan menus for the week in advance . . . freeze some meals for my return to work.
4) Get active and shape up.
5) Be nicer to the dog . . . it isn't his fault.
