Variations on a theme

Our theme for the next 11 days: Finish.

Finish laying baseboards, finish touching up paint, finish painting the kitchen cabinets/door/drawers, finish building the kitchen cabinets/doors/drawers, finish cleaning, finish installing appliances, finish packing (who am I kidding - start packing), finish my meltdown, just finish.

Do you have a good picture of my current mental state, uh huh? Also, my husband called me this morning after he dropped C off at school to inform me that C bypassed sitting by his best bud in the cafeteria this morning in favor of sitting next to a cute little girl. What in the actual crap? There aren't enough caramel filled chocolate Dove squares in a five mile radius to dull the pain of that turn of events.

Our theme after the 12th will hopefully shift to: Breathe.

Changes, they are a comin'

Shew wee. That's all I can say about the last couple of weeks! I know you all have missed me. I too, have missed all three of you. Truthfully, I was going through a ferocious deadline at work which caused me to slack on my blogging and fit lifestyle. I'll be honest, I wasn't crazy about how my pants fit when I put them on this morning. I went to work out yesterday, but decided to delay my weigh-in until today. Monday's are bad enough all on their own without that scale mocking me. I want to update you all on what's been going on, but first, a little housekeeping. You'll notice the name of the blog has been shortened to "the Journey". I still intend to write about my journey to lose weight and live a healthy lifestyle, but I also wanted to use this blog as a tool to exercise my creative and writing muscles, and so I don't want to be limited to one subject. I want to write about all my journeys, whether it be life with a toddler, re-mode...

the Panic ensues

I thought that my morning might have to be spent calling the people at Visa and telling them that I had lost my credit card. This would have been devastating for me. No credit card equals having to ask the man that controls the checkbook at our house for money. This would contradict my normal policy of just buying something and having the 5-7 business days before it arrives to convince him of why I really needed those shoes. They were ON SALE. ON ZULILY. THEY GO WITH EVERYTHING. Too bad those particular shoes don't fit my feet very well and have barely been worn. To those who would say it is despicable that I would sneak shop with my credit card, I say let me use my credit card to order you a case of Windex for that nice glass house you're living in. Which, I could do, because Husband found my credit card in between the seats of the car. But first, I'd have to find where he has since hidden said card. Let's start with the goo...

it's my Friday

You probably won't hear from me until next week. Little man and I are headed to Decatur for the night and to spend tomorrow at Point Mallard. I'm so excited. He loves the water, and I'm going to love watching him have fun! Since I've gotten through my impending deadline of doom, I have absolutely no motivation. Does anyone else suffer from this? It's as though I have to be on the brink of insanity to actually accomplish anything. It's really not a good problem to have when you work in a profession that demands you bill for your services by the hour. I know it seems like a odd thing to pray for, but I find myself praying that God will restore that motivation! I do have a fun thing to be motivated about lately, our new house! We close next week and I cannot wait to start working to make this home our own. We've got the luxury of about 4 months of time to renovate, paint, clean, etc. before we have to move in. It's why Pinterest was...
