♥

I promise I'll post soon!  Maybe Saturday?

TIRED!

Holy smokes it's been two weeks and I have loads to report.
Unfortunately, I haven't been getting much sleep and in an attempt to sleep, I'm going to postpone this post for tomorrow.  But I feel that I'm back on track!  On my way to good again!

Oh and so I don't leave you with nothing, here's a great photo I took recently...

Oh my goodness have I been busy!  We moved this last weekend.  Took a lot of help from wonderful friends and many many breakdowns.  I learned through a dear friend that moving is one of the top three most stressful things people go through in their lives.  I also learned that nothing brings me and my husband closer to death than moving with a child lol.  Anyway, I haven't posted in ages because I haven't had access to internet until now.  So my new years resolution is still valid and going!  I have a lot of hectic stuff at work.  So does Nick.  He's fed up with his job.  Aedan loves our new home.  I LOVE our new home.  I wake up so happy every morning.  So excited to take a shower and go into my kitchen.  I just love love love it!  Can't wait for summer BBQs.  Long talks with friends and family.

Good night and good luck with the rest of your week =)

Quick Note: I started doing Jazzercise (hysterical, I burn more calories laughing than I burn doing the aerobics)  And I get to go Line Dancing again on Thursday!  YAY!

BUSY!

Ad Space

Designed an ad space.  Of course I don't like it, but I hit the deadline and had to get it in.

Really busy.

Got wonderful help from a wonderful friend today.

Looking forward to the end of the move!

Disappointed that the ad had to be in black and white =(

Line dancing

Went line dancing tonight!  Amazingly fun, and very good workout.

Definitely an ego boost, as I did somewhat well in the class.

Day three of the diet, going strong!

Have to pack MORE!  ugh.  YUKKY!  I hate packing.

Then moving.  OOOOOOOOOH boy.

It's going to be quite the weekend.

Did finish my work the other day though ♥

Work

I've got a late night of work ahead of me.

It may be a couple of weeks before I post big time.

I've got lots of work and a move ahead of us this week and weekend.

I've also just started a different diet.

Day two: I've got a headache.  I'm a little cranky, but doing good.  Holdin steadfast!

This is my adorable niece.  She's 6 months old ♥

Gotta move gotta move gotta move....
Oh yeah.
I've got to pack and move.
And I'm sucking at it!
It's okay, I'm going to keep trying.
Amen.

This is a little pick up holder in my wedding dress.  I always loved the little intricate accents of dresses ♥

Children

My mom asked me a very interesting question the other evening on our way home.
She asked me "how was your childhood?".
I'm going to see a therapist soon.  I think maybe she was wondering if I consider her or my father (also known as my childhood) the reason that I need therapy.  It made me laugh to be completely honest and forthright.  Here's what I believe.  I wasn't beat as a child or abused.  So I don't consider my childhood bad.  But from birth to adulthood, what we perceive to be truth, is our truth.  In other words; just because your parents tell you that your memory of something is not correct, does not mean it wasn't your truth.  At that age, perception is reality.
Anyway, all of that to say that of course I have good and bad memories of my childhood.  Who doesn't?  I don't blame my parents for any of it.  The way I interpret actions presented to me, is my responsibility. There is something in myself that is experiencing an alternate reality.  I can't blame anybody for that.  Therefor, I sought help.  I need tools in understanding the way I function, and tools on how to function on a healthy level for my son and husband.
So yes I consider my childhood a good one.  We all have different ways of dealing with different things.  But when we turn 18, we can no longer blame our parents for all our problems.  Once we become adults it's time to take responsibility for ourselves and our impact on others.

I've got to say that I'm not entirely sure why, but I absolutely fell in love with this photo.
SO much so that I wanted to share it ♥
