Oh God! I am a manic mess, everyone is getting together at my house today for a post-thanksgiving get together for all those that were not able to get together on Thursday! (of course it was my idea-the road to hell is paved with good intentions), now I look around at my house, which I have already cleaned, and all I can see is that ceilings needed painted, the walls need painting, the doors, the trim and everything else you can paint. In addition my flooring needs to be replaced and nothing meets my expectations. At least the food is all done! I so want to enjoy this, but I feel like everyone is judging my home and housekeeping skills! YYYYYAAGGG! Help!

No one notices the stuff in your house like you do. Just have fun. i used to be like you about that stuff and I wasted so much time. Have a fun dinner and enjoy yourself. You are allowed:)

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
