A little here and a little there
What a weekend. My husband worked all weekend again and I have been working almost every day so I am entering into this new week feeling depleted. I feel so blessed and lucky for this life that I live but sometimes it is just a lot. When I try to think about what I could do to refresh myself, it's not going to the spa, or a weekend away, or time apart from my kids (although all of those things would be great too), it is time for the gym. I hate that I can't get it together long enough to get to the gym because of my other commitments but I am happy I am making some money and I am thankful my kids are thriving in every way.
What I am....
Drinking: A latte. We bought a new latte machine a few weeks ago after our other one died a LONG time back. How did I live without a latte machine? Espresso with a dash of milk and a squirt (gross word) of caramel flavoring is so much better than coffee with caramel creamer.
Watching: The First 48. I am obsessed. It is definitely my favorite non Bravo show and because I found it so recently, there are DAYS of old episodes for me to watch. Score.
Wishing: Nate would just potty train himself. I bought a little potty and he's used it a few times but he's neither of us is motivated enough to make it really work at this point.
Anxious about: Upcoming life changes. My husband put in for a couple officer programs and while I am hoping he gets chosen, they all mean big changes and stressful transitions.
Dreaming of: An interior decorator and a million bucks. I wish someone would come decorate my house for me for free. I hate decorating and I am not good at it and I am cheap. Not a good mix.
Looking forward to: Next week when my husband goes back to the day shift so we see him a little more than a few minutes here and there.
Proud of: Myself. I have kept it together pretty darn well, if I do say so myself. We really have seen very little of him this month and I have still worked, kept the house cleaned, kept up on social outings, been a Mom, exercised, and handled all of the rest that life has thrown at us. I am certainly not perfect but I am holding it together.
Wanting to buy: Nothing until I get a little more jiggle out of my wiggle.
Let's rock this week! I have a date with my treadmill after I drop Eva off at school this afternoon and a play date with friends at the park after I pick her up. Cheers to a busy but successful week.
