This 'N That Tuesday

Things are moving right along, at a pretty fast pace, for us to move in seven days. It is pretty stressful trying to decide what to pack now and what to leave out. Not to mention the boxes that we are tripping over. I am keeping my eye on the prize though...and that is a new house!!

The kids are getting over a cold. Aidan and Morgan always seem to get the colds in their eyes. And the get all goopy and crusty. Peditrican assures me it is not pink eye though. So while gross, it is not contagious and goes away after a few days.

This past week I had a falling out with someone that I considered a good friend. It has been hard for me because I care, too much, what other people think about me. I was unfairly and unjustly judged. I am learning to just shrug it off and accept that if people don't like me for who I am, then I am better off without people like that in my life. I would rather focus on positive anyways :-)

*********************

Speaking of positive....I landed a new writing and photography job today. I am so excited, as the pay is good :-). When I first started really trying to work from home, I was afraid that, like previous times, I would fail. But I knew that this time, failure wasn't an option. With dedication, and commitment, I am finally doing well in my chosen path. I love being here with the kids. I love being able to say that I contribute to our family's income. I am happy...and that in turn makes the family happy :-)

This 'n That....

There are a ton of other things that I should be doing right now, other then writing a blog post. But I haven't done a random Tuesday post in a while...so I decided to bring it back. But now its called This 'n That.

We are moving. I mentioned that a time or three didn't I? We are 15 days away from getting the keys to our new house. I am excited. I am also overwhelmed. We have a lot of crap. So if you don't see me for a few days...just know that I am ok. Probably lost amongst the boxes that are invading my home.

Things are going fairly well on the business front. The things I had planned to do/develop/start will still be started. I have had to push things back a few weeks to allow time for us to move and get settled. So, in Feb. things should start to come together.

Damien had uniform inspection last night for Cub Scouts. He got a perfect score! He was proud of himself and he should be. He is nearing completion of his Wolf Scout badge and can't wait to get that. He also has a pinewood derby race coming up. Him and Steve will be starting on the car next week.

I am trying to loose weight...again. After having a heart to heart with my Stepmom, whom I love greatly, I think I am ready to start taking accountability for my eating habits. Its a big step for me...as I am an emotional eater. But I look forward to being healthier for my kids

Just wanted to say CONGRATS to my brother Matt and my sister in law Tiffany. They found out yesterday they are having a little boy!!! I am going to be an Aunt for the first time :-)
