Did you miss me? I did! Apologies for taking an extended break from my blogging. I needed it. I've had motivational issues, sad news, important anniversaries and a lot going on in general. Excuses. I know. I usually pride myself on keeping up with everything and having my crap together, but I have not had ANYTHING together, lately.
We've kept busy lately with playing, dinners, appointments and dun dun dunnnnnnnn... illness. For a week, Ty's allergies got so bad when it got warmer that we were up once, sometimes twice a night giving breathing treatments. I took him to the doctor, he gets put on meds and then after my nosebleed episodes started in Vegas and continued for about two days after I returned, I got a wicked awful sinus infection. Meds for me and misery ensued. Walking and talking hurt my head and face. And it was only on the side where I was having the nosebleeds. Coincidence? Probably not.
In the last couple of weeks we have:
- celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary where we got a sitter so we could skip dinner to run a couple of errands and eat popcorn and M&M's at the movie theater. It was a nice evening out.
- had PIC #2's boyfriend cook us dinner where PIC #2 was REALLY mean to Ty. No, not really. Ty just gets moody when he's hungry. Totally not her fault, except for the part where she yelled at him. I kid! I kid! She didn't yell. Very loud. Kidding again.
- I went to a Norwex party and bought some more stuff. Not impressed with the dusting mitt, in case you were wondering.
- I colored my hair again, weeks early because the dye I used before I went to Vegas that was supposed to be permanent washed out and left my hair a nice shade of reddish at the roots and my grays were electric blue. No joke.
- I have mourned the loss of my favorite swimming suit. It has a snag and you can now see the little shreds of elastic poking through the darker color. Time to invest again. Bummer.
- I have mourned the loss of TWO of my bras. Hopefully I will get new ones ordered this week and can start being comfortable again. (more on the bra situation in a later post)
- We reminisced of a man that I call my second dad. 10 year anniversary. Sad that it is easy to remember and count that way.
- We took Ty to a movie and he was wanting to go home because he was tired. We stayed until the end, though.
- I got my hair cut because it was necessary to chop five inches of crispiness off.
- We watched our nephew and niece while my sister and brother in law went out for their anniversary. He got called into work, he brought her home in tears, not the day she had in mind. Ty and his cousin tattled on each other all day long. Hard concept to get across.
- I met up with friends for dinner and drinks. I'm trying to stay true to my philosophy that time away and out recharges me and makes me better at just about everything I do.
- We celebrated our nephew's 4th birthday.
- Two doors down neighbor and I took the kids to a pottery painting place before Father's Day so the boys could paint something for their dads. (more on this in a later post)
- We have filled over 100 water balloons to be thrown in the driveway.
- I attended my cousin's bridal shower where I knocked over picture frames at the hostess' house and pulled out a small bag of Norwex laundry detergent that resembles cocaine.
- I forgot to pay the sitter.
- I have taken Ty to the pool twice and HE LOVES IT.
- We have filled up the wading pool a couple of times and TY LOVES IT.
- We had a city-wide power outage on one of the hottest days and in the midst of my sinus infection. I was forced to have Ty outside, playing in the water in the wading pool and eating popsicles. I also hosed the pups down to keep them cool.
- I have fully recuperated from Vegas. I think.
- I have managed to not workout religiously, but lose weight. Man am I missing it. Wow.
Those are the "highlights" of the last couple of weeks. If you want to call them all that. I'm going to be better about everything. I've got to. I feel like I'm losing my mind.
Signing off for now, to all of you near and far and to those of you sending me positive vibes, until next time...
