Relaxation

So the newest thought of my day is to go somewhere by a beach all by myself. I have never traveled by myself, but I am pretty sure this crazy mind of mine needs a solo break. No dogs licking me, no baby having temper tantrums, no husband being a pain in my butt, no work, just some time of me, a book, and a beach. Possibly some spa and food time :) Not sure if it is selfish or realistic, but I may loose my mind soon.

Another day in paradise

Have you ever felt so trapped like you could never esacpe... that is how I am feeling. The pressure of work, the house, the family... all adds up. Not that I am not extremely greatful for an amazing family, a great job, and an incredible home... It is just a lot lately! So for Mothers Day I received Wii Fit from my hubby and daughter! I have now done 2 days of it and ouch! I hurt! but in a great way... I am starting to feel better. If I can keep on the path of spending 20-30 minutes a day doing it, that would be great. I may tone up enough for bathing suit season after all. With the Wii Fit and our weekly outings to the lake!

So my baby turned 2 on Sunday. I guess it is time to quit calling her my baby! She is the absolute love of my life. Had a great weekend with friends and family. Still so excited that Kelly and Gina were able to come! Love those girls and have no idea who I would be without them! Life has been crazy and chaotic for the past few months. I dont know how I let it spiral out of control, but I did. Feeling pretty lost and confused about this and that :) .... I am working my way back up the ladder to take control of my life. I can not control others, but I sure as hell can control myself, with the help of some wine, of course! I am very greatful for the things I have: hubby, daughter, dogs, family, friends, houses, cars, etc!

Had the most incredible cheese with jam and starberries last night. Between not feeling good and stressed out, it was nice to have a glass of red wine, a nice beef stew and an amazing snack! Thanks Vena for always finding something different to "hit the spot"... needed that! Also got to see my beautiful neice, sister in laws, and mother in law last night! What a great way to end a Hump Day!

My daughter

It is amazing to think that I have an amazing daughter. She is beautiful, smart. funny, and polite (well most of the time.. she is 2). There are many times where I loose my patience and wish she would quit hanging on me... I have been following the Layla Grace story and that baby died yesterday from her struggle with cancer. It is so sad that to know that someone that young had battled all of that and still smiled. I have felt blessed to have Savannah in our life since the moment I found out I was pregnant, but it is times like this, when you read that story about that baby and her life long struggle, that makes you feel even more blessed. I am a very lucky woman. I have an amazing husband, an incredible daughter, 2 crazy dogs, a house, and a very supportive family and group of friends. Who could ask for anything more!
