its been a while

so, i guess i kind of suck at this blogging thing. i think its because i have a busy life and i am terrible at remembering things, i.e. i lose my keys and cell phone at least once everyday. it is now august and we have lived in our new home for 4 months, I LOVE IT. im still putting the finishing touches on everything. ive started gardening and i actually enjoy it. which kind of surprised me. my husband gets annoyed with all of my projects...but he knows they keep me sane. jaxon starts the first grade in a month! and jude will be 2 in a few weeks! CRAZY!!!

Projects

Working on rag quilts for some friends. Theyre quick and pretty easy to make...I'll post the finished product when I'm done

well im not sick anymore, hooray!!! but jaxon officially has asthma, boo!!! aside from that things have been really good. i can say that i am currently stress free. and its nice

blah

today i am sick...i feel like crap

ok. my first project is me- im working on all of me, mind body and soul i guess. my goal is to workout at least 4 times a week. to have at least 30 min. a day of quiet me time. and to continue reading books. the better i take care of myself, the better i can take care of my family.

slowly getting into this

i have been taking time everyday for myself and i have enjoyed it. its been nice. my goal at the moment (as domestic as it may be) is to get my house in order. because ive been so busy it looks like a hot mess. once its clean i plan to do many projects...sewing, painting, maybe even cooking. i will be happily blogging all about my projects. more to come

MY life

i thought i should start a blog. mainly for myself. a place where i can say what i want to say and talk about whatever is on my mind. so the last few weeks have been very busy. between my kids, my husband, and my job, i have been outrageously close to a breakdown. i have often found myself close to tears over the tiniest of things and have wanted nothing more than to crawl in bed and sleep...for as long as possible. i am tired and i need a break. but if i take a break who will keep things going. how will jaxon get to school, who will take him to soccer practice and baseball practice, who will make sure his homework is done and his teeth are brushed, who will make sure he has eaten more than just cereal and peanut butter today. and what about jude? if i take a break who will feed him and change his diapers. who will put him down for naps and take him to doctors appointments. and what about aly? and what about my husband? my very needy emotionally insecure husband? and my mom, who will make sure she doesnt stay in the house all day/week/month? and this is just what needs to be done at home. when do i get time to myself? i love my family more than anything...but i miss my life when it was just about me. some people might think its selfish for me to say that, but at least its honest. so today on 09/26/2011 i have decided that i am going to make more time for me.
