Sounds like someone's got a case of the Mondays!

Yes, I do.... :o)
I feel great, as I usually do on Mondays. My Mondays are easy-going and slow-moving. I love it. The house is quiet and I feel at ease, not under pressure.

Today I have bills to pay, weekly chore/grocery plan to get started on, planting and laundry to do. I think I'll even fit a late morning nap in there, given my weekend, I'm thoroughly exhausted!

This weekend was crazy, I flew to Seattle to go to a training class on Saturday. It was very last minute, as it usually is with me :). I got a phenomenal deal on my flight and car rental thanks to Becca looking out for me. I flirted a little with the guy at the car rental booth and got a free upgrade to a car with navigation, an absolute God send! That was awesome! I drove an hour to everywhere that I went. lol. So that navigation came in SOOOOOO handy! I got back yesterday and I am still sooo tired.

Adrian took the girls camping for the weekend, they all had a blast and they picked me up at the airport filthy and smelling like campfire, so I know they had a great time. They camped where they could fish and play all day, the weather was fabulous this weekend! I wish that I could have gone with them but I am so grateful that I have someone so supportive that he would do that for me! I needed a get-away anyhow!

I'm planning out the summer and it's starting to look pretty full already. I can't wait! I have a couple of trips lined up, and it's so much fun to plan. I'm going to see so many friends that I haven't seen forever!

Well, I'm ready for that nap I mentioned. Have a great day everyone! :)

Chuggin' Along

I know, it's Wednesday, not Monday. But it sort of feels like a Monday. I haven't been well lately, fighting depression off as hard as I can, but it's been a rough couple of weeks!

I've got a lot going on and I get overwhelmed so easily. But most of it is happy and exciting stuff! I'm starting a new at home biz. that's totally amazing!!! I am planning my wedding! YAY! I'm so excited about that... it's so much fun!

I am a nerd, I started a blog I just can't seem to find any interesting words to finish... hmm... maybe I'll add to it later. For now though, it is just a tiny baby blog. :)

Ranting, Ranting and More Ranting!

What is wrong with me this week? My stomach has been "icky" all week, I've been incredibly bitchy (Poor kids & Adrian). I know a few things for sure, I've been eating crap-food and that's what's going on with my tummy (duh) except that even the next day I just feel like crap. But the bitchi-ness... I don't know. There is a lot of turmoil going on in my head and I guess it's just eating me up in such a way that I'm lashing out at everyone with evil-bitch attitude. I don't mean to, I really don't.

There's the friend issue - repairing a few relationships and at the same time letting go to a few very negative and hurtful relationships... that's not easy stuff you know!

Then there's the "quirks" about my house that I'm extremely frustrated with. Our water decides a few times a day to disappear and that means I have to hike up the little road behind me to the well, to restart the pump. Which is ok, sometimes, but when you have conditioner in your hair and shave gel drying to your legs and other unmentionables when the water goes out and you have to take that hike... NOT cool at all. It goes out every time I use the washing machine. Which means that I'm just not doing laundry like I should be because it irritates me so. Then there's the power bill that I got on my door Monday, letting me know that I need to reimburse them for what they paid for my portion. Well, when I moved in, they told me that the power was included in my rent. So this all makes me wonder "WHAT'S NEXT?". There's other little things too... but I will continue this rant another time.

Then there's the house that is "possibly" coming up for rent right next to a girlfriends house which is in the area closer to Boise that I wanted to be at in the first place. It's on the same driveway - she is a single mom and Adrian is gone a lot so having each other out here in the sticks would be nice. It'd be nice to make big dinners a couple of nights a week and share meals, trade off the kids and do a garden together. But who the hell wants to move twice in two months? And I like the little tiny town I live so close to that I could walk to. But but but but but!!!!

Then there is also the garden, which I have seeds, dirt, compost and starts for. But I am certainly not going to start that garden just to have to move and leave it.

On that same note, who wants to bother getting unpacked when they don't know if they will be moving out in a few weeks anyway??? So I haven't bothered making this feel like home and I think that's a lot of my turmoil in my head, just not feeling at home or really settled.

We won't know about that other house for 10 days or so, the guy is on vacation and is going to decide if he'll rent it out or keep living in it by the time he gets back. So I have to just sit, restlessly, sit still and keep up the everyday.

This turned into a book! I'll stop for the day and hopefully now that I've totally ranted I will feel good enough to clean up and do some laundry. I have SO many chores and shit to do it's just rediculous.

Oh, one more thing. My cat is swelling. She brought home a big boy kitty when we first moved in and now she is swelling, she's probably twice her normal body weight now. lol. Yes, I realize I should have had her fixed, and she will be after she has these babies. :)

Hello again Stranger

Nice to see you stopping by to see that I'm still alive and blogging :)

It's a Monday, and I had that blogging urge. Last week we finally figured out the internet thing and I'm back to having DSL - Thank the Lord for that one! Things have been crazy but we are trying to force things to slow down, just in time for the good weather to start and the itching for camping/hiking/fishing - and whatever else will keep up outside and away from the house all weekend - every weekend! Not that we plan to stay away from the house, we just end up that way from Spring through Fall. I love it and wouldn't have it any other way. I can not imagine spending my life indoors when the weather outside and the mountain air is sooo nice. I'm very fortunate that Adrian hasn't sent me looking for work yet. I don't know how we would accomplish anything if I were working, seems like we always have so much to do.

Updates, hmmm... I don't know what to update on. We are getting settled into the house, we are meeting people up here and we are really enjoying it here. I love it, more than I knew I would.
Easter was last week and the girls had a lot of fun, though with being kind of un-settled with things it was hard to do all of the things we normally do for Easter, like an egg hunt, somehow we missed that completely!
Adrian got me a basket with gourmet chocolates of a very wide variety, a huge pink bunny and a sappy card that made me bawl as soon as I saw the first line! lol

We have been working a little at a time in planning the wedding and so far the wedding party is the hardest thing to decide on... shouldn't that be the easiest? lol

I'm trying to sell the Drive-Thru Espresso Trailer - since our taxes turned out to be more than devastating! Horrible! Stupid ass TAXES!

I'm also trying to learn how to garden, which can be a job all in itself... I'm learning though.

I guess you could say I'm learning to plan my day/week better too - being up here kinda forces you to do that! I have to plan out which days I'm going to town and exactly what I have to do while in town - otherwise everything gets all mucked up.

Speaking of town... I'm headed out as soon as I get some normal clothes on.... hopefully it won't be longer than next Monday before I post again. :)
