Wow, can't believe I've neglected this blog for so long (and my other blog for even longer). We had a doozy of a storm last night w/ lots of thunder and lightning. I have always liked burrowing under the safety of the covers during thunderstorms but that was not the case last night. My husband had left for his "2nd home" and the dog is deathly afraid of thunder so much so that he whines and whimpers. While I do feel sorry for him, I don't want his barking to wake up our kids which for some reason, that I am extremely grateful for, have the ability to sleep through thunder. When I went to bed at 10:30 there was quite a light show going on. At 11 when I finally stopped reading, the girl decided to start crying. I won't go into the whole story, but it was 1 AM when I was able to lay her back in her crib. So now here I sit at 7 AM, I've been up since 5:30 not wanting to miss out on a shower and some "me" time before the morning chaos begins. With Steve living in the city during the week, I have found my morning routine to be very important and as much as I love lying in bed soaking up the morning, it can be difficult to find time to shower w/ 2 children demanding your attention in the morning.
For those handful of people that may read this blog, here is a quick update on what's been happening: My husband took a different job w/ the same company which he'd been debating pretty heavily for weeks. This means he lives in the city during the week and is home on the weekends. This arrangement has been going on for 3 weeks and so far my blood pressure has remained normal. We've had an offer on our house and we're still negotiating the price, but hope to come out on top. After weeks of scouting realtor.com, we looked at 3 houses that fit our criteria and made an offer on one. It was accepted on the contingency that we sell our current house. We're hoping to be living together again in the next 6 weeks or so. Be praying for us!
As for my "makeover," our new house is located just 10 min. from a YMCA where I hope to become a member. We booked a cruise a few weeks ago and if that's not motivation, I have a serious problem! I keep thinking about my favorite pair of capri pants I haven't been able to wear for the past 2 summers (yes I still have them even though they haven't fit) and how much I want to wear them this year. I better get cracking though b/c it's my tummy that needs the most attention. I'm still drinking the Spark but can't afford the other products right now. I drink Spark first thing every morning and have to say I've noticed a difference, of course, I sit at a computer all day at work so it's a little tougher to stay alert in the afternoon.
