Busy Days... Busy Nights...

Wow... It has been so hectic lately... My body is craving rest and my soul is craving peace. It feels like I am spiraling in obligations and reponsibilities and the important things are getting away from me. So many things to do... All work, no play! I can't wait for my one week vacation! The kids are excited, my husband is excited, and I am oh so excited! We'll sleep in, spend quality time, and just have fun. Well, it is late... My brain is a bit fried... And I can feel my old friend Sleep calling me. As I always say, I come from a place of love... and I hope the same for you too.

Jitters....

Ahhhh!!!!

Question: what place can have weather that changes from Sunny to Pouring down rain in a blink?

ANSWER: ALASKA!!!!

Wow, the day started out great... Warm but not too hot... Sunny but not to the point where it hurts... Just perfect! Well, that is until Alaskan Mother Nature got a wild hair up her butt and decided that rain was necessary- so fine! Rain it is... It was actually some kind of wonderful. It was not cold gross rain; I actually wanted to walk in the rain- better yet, burn calories and RUN in the rain! I wish I had the cash to go buy good running shoes at Skinny Raven but that will have to get pushed until I have the kids' school items bought and paid for.

Well, tomorrow is a big day. It is the day that I find out about life outside of my current place of employement. I am absolutely conflicted and will definitely have to weigh out the pros and cons. A lot of thinking needs to be done and I need to ask myself the question: What do I want?

What a wonderful weekend!!!

It has been such a tough 2 weeks here at work that the weekend was a nice break from it all. We hiked Thunderbird Falls which was great and the kids enjoyed it tremendously. It was a bit busy though and I think that I will go get in touch with my nature at the Botanical Garden. I have to tell you, after listening to kids bicker, snicker, and whine... Silence is Wonderful!!! I'm going to drag my husband for coffee and a walk to end the week- what a great way to end it, huh?

Well, I have been very fortunate to have a positive outlook especially the last year or so. There's been a lot of lessons learned and bridges crossed and I am definitely a better person for it. I am learning to recognize negativity in others and not let it affect me. I am in a phase of my life where I am determined... Determined to succeed! And I definitely will not let others put a damper on my spirits. I have put goals down on paper. Things to accomplish in 1 month, by the end of the year, and before next year is over. It is very empowering especially as I mark them off the list.

That is all for now... I have to say... Being as debt free as possible by the end of next year is definitely on the list!!!

Snap out of it!

Ugh! What a Monday... I had the lights off in the office today and just had my overhad lamps... Piano and violin music playing... Yay! And I got my work done :)
I am currently sitting down watching tv... It really sucks you in! I really need to clean my house! It is so filthy and I am so tired of it!! I just can't find the motivation to get up and clean up.... What the heck is wrong with me?!? Snap Out of it J*Fizzle... Sheesh!

Blogging... From Bed :)

Sunday morning in bed... With my Blackberry and my thoughts. It feels like a lazy day and would gladly stay where I am all day if it weren't for my daughter getting borrowed for a christening. I love the rain almost as much as I love the sunshine but it does this to me.... All I want to do is eat comfort food and lounge in bed. I have such a busy life that I know I should not feel guilty for wanting this once in a while... But I do! It does not feel natural to not do anything. Live life to the fullets every second and every minute! I only have one life so I want to live it.... But I still feel like lounging in bed :) Happy Sunday!!

Over one hump... and on to Another!

Wow, yesterday was a hectic day to say the least. I crammed my quarter end tasks and finished up almost all of it. I hope to have it all done today so that I can take off and not think of it for the WHOLE weekend. What a concept huh? I had a lively meeting with my Avon boss and one of the leading unit ladies in town, picked up my kids from my parents, and then went home to dreamland. Sadly, I can't even get a good 8 hours of sleep because my body alarm rattled me out of bed at 330 in the morning and could not go back to sleep to save my life. So, I got up, read a book, got ready for work... and I'm STILL late! What the heck!

Well, tomorrow is my husband and I's 5 year aniversary. I am amazed! It has been an amazing 5 years full of trials and tribulations- they have not been the most glamorous but I would not have had it any other way. There was a lot of growth that we had to go through, and with these experiences, we are better people, partners, and friends. My hopes for the next 5 is that God and my guardian Angels keep it the lessons as painless as possible. Nothing like getting hit with a solid 2x4 of lessons on the forehead- it does not feel good!
