A peaceful Sunday morning - I am sure many of you know how rare that is! Yesterday I was out with my girlfriend for about 5 hours (no kids!) and then today the kids have been outside with their dad and I have had the whole house to myself for a few hours. I think the older they get, the more bits and pieces of peace I can have. Not that I don't appreciate every yell and noise coming from my kids BUT.....
The kids didn't head back to school until after Labor Day so last week was still a bit of a wild week. I had a baby start a few weeks ago and another boy who is here just a few days a week before kindergarten. School starts and ends at a different time so we were still doing a bit of adjusting last week. Plus I have one toddler who is just being a tyrant and I am hoping she gets out of this stage quickly. I adore her but she was being horrid last week. I am hoping less kids around will calm her need to beat all of us up.
Exercise is fine, food is not too bad and I will just keep pushing forward with little improvements and see what I can do. We have been doing a lot of walking with the dog too so we are trying to be an active family. However the heat this past week has been horrid for Sept. Cooler weather hits on Tuesday and I am ready for it. My husband keeps wishing for snow WHICH IN NO WAY AM I READY FOR!!
Absmom - Being 9 mos. pregnant and having to go through life adjustments - you are holding up great! We had the same thing here when my DH stopped working his massive overtime. It's been a year now that he comes home in the afternoon and it was really hard for a while. It was my schedule, my territory and it felt like he was just in the way. Now my kids are confused when he is at work when before it was the norm! Let us know when the bouncing baby is born! Our YMCA was supposed to open this fall but I can't even figure out where the building is so I'm don't think they are on track! I do so many homemade photo projects my family probably wishes I would quit sending them. I did my youngest's birth announcements and was quite proud of them!
Juno - You sound well-rested and happy! Glad you are having some fun time with your new sewing machine. The great things we can utilize now in our down time
I love all the things I can do but sometimes I am annoyed because I make more projects for myself. I always like the end result though so I shouldn't complain. I keep my grandparents happy and involved so that is something. I have the small weights I bought in the beginning which my boys pick up quite often. They are more fascinated with my weight lifting gloves which I have to go hunt for all the time. I should just buy them their own so they will leave mine alone! I did buy 2 new pairs of good exercise shorts and have improved my workout look - not that it matters since I am at home but somehow it does!
I should have gotten on and read the posts from the old post because I can't remember a thing!! I look forward to all the new posts from everyone and can't wait to here how lives are going this fall. I turn 35 this month and I thought I would hate this age but I think I'll be okay. A little older, a little wiser and a little healthier - think positive about aging, right???
Happy September to all of you! Steph
