Highs & Lows

Low: Jack woke me up at 6:30 this morning. 6:30!! Way too early.

High: Jack snuggled with me on the couch tonight, leaning his face into mine. I love this kid.

Today's High:

Jack snuggling into my shoulder right before I put him down for bed just like he used to.


Today's Low:

Stressing out about money. Dumb recession.

High: Last night I got a girls' night out with my girlfriends Ann, Kimberly, and Erin from school. It was so great to leave Jack with Tim for some girl time. I got myself a fru-fru drink, I think it was called Lions & Berries, so good, and just unwound. We also got to talk to Mikkin over Skype before having some delicious fruit pizza that Ann made. Snap! I just realized I forgot to take a pic, oh well. Thanks for the night out Tim!

Low: I miss my family. I am going to visit them in a week, but I know it is only for a week. Moving out to Colorado has been a sacrifice. Shelby is graduating from high school next week and I feel I have missed out on those years. Now I don't know if we will be moving back like I expected we would and I will probably miss out on Laura's high school years as well. Not only that but Jack will be away from his grandparents, aunts, and uncles (who are in WI). It's all hard for me to swallow.

My sisters: Thing 1, Thing 2, & Thing 3

(AKA Anna, Shelby, & Laura - Chelsea and I did not go in on this silliness)

Today is a day when I need to focus on the positive because I feel like crap. I don't know why I'm feeling so negative, but I've been snapping at Tim, complaining about the heat, and been in a general bad mood all afternoon. Perhaps it's because feeding Jack his cereal didn't go as well as I hoped. Maybe it's because it's hot and I hate hot weather. Whatever the case, I need to snap out of it. If I stay here I'm gonna reach for another cookie and we all know where that leads...

Today's Low: The Heat. I need some more light skirts that fit because I can't wear this one every day.

Today's High: The thunderstorm I hear rolling in. Love it. Not only will things cool off, but the sound of thunder and rain relaxes me.
