Blah Blah Blah

It has been a while. I could use the excuse that I am too busy but I have three children and really should be too busy for anything. My real excuse is laziness. I know, you are shocked.

The past few weeks have been kinda hard. Two of my very best girl friends moved away over the summer (I mean away, away one to Belgium and one to Grand Bahama). I miss them terribly mostly because they were both my "spontaneous" friends. You know what I am talking about. A friend that doesn't need a lot of planning just say the word and they are there at a moments notice! Feel like going to the movies? Call your spontaneous friend and they can be ready in minutes. Need a last minute lunch date, shopping partner, pedicure duo, they can usually make it happen. And the Martini/girls nights with your spontaneous friends are always the best. Everyone needs a few friends like that!!

Now don't get me wrong, I have many wonderful and fabulous friends but there is this little empty space now in my heart. Maybe it is just the change in season or just that I need a job. Whatever it is, I have been lonely. And only by my own fault since only we ourselves have control over our attitudes and the emotions we allow ourselves to feel... right? Have you ever felt that you belonged everywhere and nowhere at the same time?

Well, life goes on and I am sure there are plenty of things to keep me busy around here. So put away that pity party hat!

In lighter news, I have successfully done my 5:30 AM workouts all week! And I think if I can stop putting ice cream on the daily menu I might be able to fit into the jeans I bought last year (yes) because I have no money what so ever to buy new ones. Tom and I are doing the Dave Ramsey plan in full swing in the hopes that we can be completely debt free by next year. We could reach that goal much faster is our children would stop eating, needing new clothes, needing new shoes and wasting toilet paper (you are boys, just shake it!)

It's been a long week. I really need a girls night... might have to make it a girls weekend (but somewhere cheap.

Tom gets home today. He's been in Chicago. I realize that he is working on these trips... but it is still a flight to somewhere. He's still eating at a restaurant instead of having the dreaded "leftovers." Oh has it been that long since I was served warm food without having to look over at my boys hanging all over the furniture and hiss

Sit UP we are in a restaurant!

One more thing. To all you beautiful people out there that keep posting pictures on FB of your latest exotic vacation with clear blue water and white sandy beaches, just stop it!! You know who you are.

I will now drown my sorrows in this....





Have a great weekend!! I know I will, football starts tomorrow!!
