Surprise, surprise
Well it has been almost 3 years, so you know what it's time for?!? Yep, I am ready to move again! I have found the perfect house (again)! It is very small and since we are never home, that would be great. It also has 1 acre yard and would be very close to my parents and sister.
Tonight, my sister and I went to look at it and I secretly hoped that the inside would be hideous so I would hate it. Howeverr, it has been completely redone and is all cute. UGH! Len will stroke when he gets home tonight and I have papers to show him. He has been through this so many times with me.
I also came home from Memphis this evening and was told that last night my current house was featured on the 10 o'clock news because a criminal was evidently hiding in the rose bushes along my house after he robbed the coffee shop down the street. HMMM...need I give any other explanations as to why I want to move?
Len, if you ever read this blog, just consider this...AGAIN:) I love you honey!!

SO FAR...
I have lost 17 pounds, and I am running 1 mile a day.
We are going to Destin next week and for the first time ever, I am not dreading putting on my swimsuit!!!
Yay me! Sorry I am just a tad bit excited about this.

I'm Doing It
It seems that I become overwhelmed with life and all that we have going on quite frequently. This morning, I was blessed with the time to lie in bed, watch some news and hear Disney's Mickey Mouse on the den T.V. with no fighting between my children!
As I was relaxing, I began to think of all that I have to do today and the days coming up, and it occurred to me that I'm doing it.
When I say that I mean this: I get up early to make sure that I have time to get myself ready and let the kids and Len sleep in a little. Most days, the kids have time to eat a good breakfast and relax a little too before heading off to school at 7:13. I am working full-time now which means that we don't get home before 4:30. The kids are getting their homework done, dinner is served, showers are taken, kids are in bed by 8:15-8:30. I also have managed to fit in practices and games, grocery trips, laundry, and keeping the house in a sort-of picked up state.
I get my nightly walk/run in around 9pm and then my favorite thing, my bath at the end. Most days, I do this alone as Len and I are both working 2 jobs (although he does help me out alot when he is in off season) and I travel across Tennessee on the weekends to do my pharmaceutical trainings.
I know my house may not always be the tidiest, my kids may look ragged some days, and my car is very well worn in, BUT I am able to sit back and smile at the thought that through all of this I can say "I'm doing it, and I am doing it quite well!"
