it worked

Oh my gosh.  I think that I finally figured this out.  It sure has taken me awhile but I am still avoiding downloading all of my desired pictures onto a desktop.

It has been a few weeks.  A lot of fabulous this have happened.

1. Robyn and Tony's wedding

We had such a great time at their wedding.  I have learned to drink water between all of my drinks AND I refused to partake in shots.  HOLY MOLY was it fun to dance, meet new people and have a great night.  Also....I was able to find a new dress and shoes the day before during my lunch break.  And possibly the most important thing --I curled my hair - BY MY SELF.  Yup, you read that correctly - I am a real adult.

We went out downtown and didn't get home to bed until 430am!!

2. Cameron's Play

Cameron has found his joy and it is so fun to watch him thrive.  I am so grateful that he has found something that he loves.  I'm also grateful that we have the money to support him. I think back to when I was a single mom SCRAPING to get by.  I would not even imagined how to pay for extra activities.  We are a lucky bunch indeed. 

Jack is OBSESSED.  He would of gone to every performance if he was able. 

3. The funk
I am grateful that I am a older, wiser and a bit more in tune with my emotions.  For the past few weeks....I think it was literally on the way back from Banff, I started to be inside my own head.  I am not sure how to explain it more.  I felt unhealthy, out of sorts and like something needed to change.  Last Thursday Mike and I went to Bleaker Street and made a plan.  Basically I needed to stop bitching and get to the gym, I needed to eat a bit more salad AND be graceful with myself.  Grateful that I have him on my team to get me out of my own head.  ALSO - grateful that I am rarely in a valley. 


4. Flexible schedule
I complain a lot about being bored at work.  This week I started to change things up.  Yesterday I left and worked out, today I came in late, tomorrow I plan on leaving again.  Hopefully this will break up my day more AND I will accomplish my health goals.


5. Our neighbors
This weekend the boys smoked meat and then we pulled tables into the street and all ate dinner together.  Last week Rhonda and Michael made dinner and we sat and joined them while the kids ran and played around us.  We are pretty lucky.  Sometimes I just want to go and hide inside my house BUT super grateful that my kids always have friends who are outside playing.

Though he is obsessed with his brothers -- he loves the time he is alone too.
