- Every morning I wake up with a head full of things to do. I scramble around trying to put them in lists of importance all while trying to keep the peace within my little brood (trying to recall everything I've learned and read about parenting at the same time.) I love being a wife and the quirks that come with having my man forever. I love to be creative and thrive on crossing off my to do list. I strive to find balance and put first things first which brings me PEACE & JOY and allows me to sleep so much easier when I do. I think that one of the secrets to being HAPPY in life is to find that balance. I'm learning how to be kinder to myself and learning patience in progress. Everyday, through the thick and thin of life I'm trying to turn my heart towards heaven and remember what's really important.Oh, and I love to eat, so much so that I love to exercise too.

I've been out of it!
The last couple of weeks have been kind of weird, mostly due to the change in my hormone levels, I hope. Jeff and I decided to get ready to sale our home in the next couple of months and this has caused me to jump right in with some tendency to be overbearing and demanding. Needless to say I'm a bit off balance right now. When I get in my head that somethings going to happen I start moving full speed ahead and watch out if you are in my way. Jeff hasn't particularly liked this but I think he does appreciate it sometimes. Although I move at a fast pace when it comes to getting what I would like, I can become I little careless and overlook important details. This is probably why he wants me to slooooow down. I've also neglected to talk to him and find out what he's thinking. Instead, I deduct what he's thinking because of his actions. For example, because he isn't reading and searching the internet and spending every waking minute on house stuff, I came to the conclusion that his heart isn't really in this move. I also thought this because I announced to him, out of the blue, that he had to spend all of his free time finishing last minute stuff on our home so we can put it on the market in less three months. He hasn't really been thrilled about this but he's doing it, but not like I think he should. He needs to come home after a 13 hour day including a two hour commute and work till midnight, wake up at 4:30, and do it all over again. He shouldn't even think about his weekend bike ride/run. What is he thinking about? He shouldn't have any other thoughts or actions unless its about our MOVE. So... the other night I just blew up because he hasn't been doing the previous things listed. I told him to forget about moving and that I was done looking for houses. I was tired of him not caring and not wanting this as much as me. Unlike me he wasn't thinking about house stuff 24/7. I mean there is just no time for him to come home and check his email, he has to search the mls listings with me and start bookmarking the ones he likes. He shouldn't get upset that I want him to open a new search and look while he's in the middle of something. These are the things I've said and I've actually thought. Needless to say, we had the worst fight in our whole 9 years of marriage and I'm the silly girl that started it..... And guess what? I chose the perfect time to "talk" to him. I blew up close to 11:00 pm and once again the alarm goes off at 4:30 am. We didn't go to sleep till about 1:00 in the morning. I know some of you have probably done this but if you haven't, I beg you, save yourself a whole lot of trouble, DON'T. It is not fun. Long story short, we made up before we fell alseep and now we are doing much better. In fact........ look below to find out some new developments.
