This morning at 5:15 AM the alarm went off... funny thing is I woke up at 5 AM on my own....and it wasn't even because I had to go pee! Today was my second "morning" workout. I have decided that as hard as it is to wake up that early it beats working out after school or work! I really enjoy Susan's classes...she kicks my butt and makes my whole body hurt! What is even better, is that Nic and I go together! I find it a lot of fun to work out with my husband. We went on a 4 mile run together on Saturday morning (oh by the way can I have Saturday's weather back...67 and sunny... yes please!). If I had been by myself I would have only gone 2 miles but he pushes me to go farther, do better, prove to myself that I can! He does this all day every day with anything I am going after. He's simply amazing!
Last night, we got back to Bham around 7:40pm. I unpacked and went into instant clean mode. We have been so busy the past few weeks that I haven't caught up completely on the household chores. The dust was driving me nuts on our dresser and I like to see vacuum lines in the carpet the kitchen counters needed a good wipe down laundry bins were getting full......and on and on that's the list that was in my head. My husband thinks I'm nuts to attack these things on a Sunday night at 8pm. But, I just don't have time! With school, work, workouts, being social, holidays, hair shows, etc when can you do laundry and put it away let alone dust the place and mop floors and buy groceries! He has a very hard time just sitting and watching me run all over that he willingly jumps into my crazy cleaning frenzy. I told him he doesn't have to but he insists that he wants to put in his part. However, if there are dishes in the sink in the morning Nic washes them all. He makes the coffee and brings me a cup while I'm getting ready upstairs....EVERY MORNING! He goes to work Mon-Fri, a few weekends, and travels for field work to support us. He never complains! He folds laundry and puts it away. He likes to make breakfast on the weekends for us. What I'm saying is, that he does do his part! He helps me out all the time! If I forgot to get something at the grocery store he will always stop and get it for me! I want him to know that I recognize all his hard work and if I decide to go cleaning crazy on Sunday at 8PM or Saturday morning at 7AM you do not have to join in with me!
until next time....
Every day I think.... "Hey I should blog about this!" And then I get home and somehow never make it to blogging. Maybe it's because of work, school, laundry, cleaning, being a wife, homework, bible study, working out, staying sane did I mention that one yet? I love my life it is truly fantastic but unusually busy!
I have always liked to be on the go. I don't like down time...lately that is all I have wanted! I want to do my arts and crafts! I have some fun canvas ideas floating around in my head that I just need a day to execute! Why is it so hard to find ONE free day? I also cannot believe it is April! When did that happen? Yes, it happened 5 days ago but I think I missed February and March!
This coming weekend CJ turns ONE! I was thinking about getting him some trucks or cars! I'll make sure he knows the noises that go with them! Any better ideas for a 1 year old boy? Sunday is the annual Tulip festival with my favorite ladies...Sara and Mal! The boys will most likely be fishing if the weather would stop being so CRUDDY! (I know of a timeshare that can take us to Mexico who's in?) The following weekend is the Annual Hair Show in Seattle Bellevue this year! Last year, I lost my keys in the convention center let's not make this year so memorable and save Mom a few trips back and forth from Seattle to Bham! OOPS! Unfortunately, Cash's 2nd Bday is also Sunday and I am bummed to have already made hair show plans! Nic and Keaton (Dee's bf) will be off finding Tom the turkey...yes it's that time of year already! Oh joy! Please just bring home the meat and leave his feathers behind.... thank you, your loving wife! Following weekend is EASTER! Oh, I love me some cadbury eggs! Who doesn't?
Easter always reminds me of my Great Aunt Barbara who has passed away. She would always send my brother and I each a solid chocolate bunny from Harry and David's! I think my dad ate more of the bunnies than we did but I miss her and those bunnies but her a lot more!
Needless to say April is jam packed of fun social events! I am excited to take lots of pictures to post on here for all of you to enjoy! I promise to blog more and facebook less... honestly, I haven't had time to facebook either!
Time for dinner...if I didn't have a cold I would be very excited...however I can't taste much at the moment! So, I will live through Nic tonight and see how much he enjoys the yummy manicotti. Did some batch cooking yesterday 18 meals in 5 hours and 15 min! More on that to come!
p.s. sorry for my jumbled random thoughts this evening!
until next time...
