I've been cleaning out old papers and stuff today. I don't feel like I can get my house clean unless I start with this stuff. I have had a huge pile of clean clothes on my bedroom floor that I got put away, too. While putting clothes away--trying to find space for all of it--I realized that I just have too many clothes. I have been culling them, ( Read more... )

Holy shit, my boss is taking all of us to Hawaii in May! I found out last Friday and I'm still doing the happy dance. Hubby is going with me, we have to pay for him, but totally worth it. There is actually an orthodontic conference going on, but Hawaii! Woooooo! Plus, he has asked me to go to a conference in New Orleans in February. Crazy.

Hey, look, two posts in less than a week. I am feeling pretty damn accomplished right now. I didn't get home from my sister's until after 3:00 this afternoon, but after that I helped the littlest guy clean is room--which was eerily like an episode of hoarders, minus any petrified animals--did three loads of laundry, helped the littlest guy with ( Read more... )

I am terrible at keeping up here, but I do go back and read every time I check in. So much has been going on here, where to start?

We have a hot tub! Our neighbors were selling theirs, and now it's ours! Merry Christmas, happy birthday and anniversary and so on, and so totally worth it. I always dreamed of having one, but never really thought it ( Read more... )

I survived the Mexican Supper. Again. I hate this event to the core of my being, and I love it. I have reinforced some wonderful friendships through this event, and I actually love some of the fellowship that happens in the actual doing of the work, but I cannot go on doing it forever. It is taking a toll on myself and my family. I do actually have ( Read more... )

I have majorly screwed up my back. The pain has not gone away over the weekend, so I am calling the doc first thing in the morning. I can barely walk. I need to feel better for Vegas!

I had my first Mexican supper meeting for this year. Did I mention that I am back in charge of this damn thing? Someone please just shoot me. Ugh.

So I suck at updating. My son is 4th in the nation on the double-mini trampoline!!! I'm a little bit fucking proud of him. He did great at nationals. Nationals was in San Antonio, which was hotter than hell, but I think actually a degree or so cooler than the hell we left behind in Kansas. We decided screw the amusement parks and spent our free day ( Read more... )

Our summer is going pretty good so far, not too busy or too boring yet. I can't really believe we are at the end of June already. I'm getting a bit better at typing on the iPad, I just can't treat it like a normal keyboard, I only use about 8 fingers to type.

I sang at church on Sunday and a man from out of state told me that I had a lovely voice. ( Read more... )

I have not flipped out today over becoming the parent of a teenager. Yay me. I have, however, been sitting here looking at his first year scrapbook--his only scrapbook, by the way--and wondering how I got so old. Ah well. He's a pretty awesome kid. I'm a pretty damn lucky mom. Happy birthday, C.

I thought I might leave a little bit of an update. Things are good. I feel good. Life is good. I have clothes that fit and I am in a place where I am very accepting of the shape my body is in at this point in time. I don't want to be back in a place where I loathe the sight or thought of my body. It is what it needs to be at this point in time.
