So...I'm frustrated with Blogger...seems that I can't log into my blog without jumping through a variety of hoops...and it's getting frustrated.

That being said...I feel I have gone through the gauntlet of emotions today. I'm sure a large part of it has to do with me being tired. But I really seem to be suffering from CRS today. Seriously...

I think tonight after work...I'm going to go run...eat a light supper...and then spend the evening reading a book. No computer tonight!

Really...I'm severely blah right now...and I can't shake it.

More Lessons...

I have learned that no matter how happy you are for someone, or how much you support them...the evil green of envy can still rear it's ugly head.

I've learned that carrying your stress really becomes a pain in the neck, and back, and shoulders...and heck even the ASS!

I've learned that it makes me really happy when my kids are estatic that they receive books in the mail every month.

I've learned that Legoland is a good bribery for good behavior in school ;-)

I've learned that no matter how hard I try...I will never be a morning person.

I've learned that a tummy tuck costs $7200, which really sucks :-(

I've learned that no matter how many lists I make I'll always forget something.

Et tu, Brute?

I remember studying the play Julius Caesar by Shakespeare back in high school. Caesar was warned to be wary of the Ides of March...I'm not superstitious...but they say nothing good ever happens on the Ides of March...it's a jinxed day.

Every year, when I get my planner refill, I always write Ides of March on 3/15. Not sure why, but I do. It's become my day I suppose...I loved that day...and as the years went on, it seems that elements of that day brought about nothing but joy and happiness.

So then why now, in 2009, has the day left me thinking "Et tu, Brute?"

What I've learned...

I've learned that I can easily waste a full day on the internet.

I've learned that no matter how hard I think I have it...someone close to me always seems to be going through something worse...so I should really relax.

I've learned that I need to get back in to exercising to help me reduce stress.

I've learned that I'm horrible at keeping up with my blog ;-)

I've learned that as much as I love my job, I love reading bedtime stories to my kids more.

I've learned that...I need to pay better attention.

Since it's been almost a year...

...I figured it is about time to start actually doing the finishing touches on the house. Ok...so really Josh needs to get a job first before we start spending loads of money, I get that.

I have been searching for the furniture I want in each room, paint, window treatments, and accessories...and MAN ALIVE!!! Things are expensive! I can see me easily sinking $5000 into the living room alone...ACK! Ok...so that includes the TV, but just that dollar amount alone makes me feel guilty!

We are starting on Ty's room this weekend. I don't think Josh is appreciating the fact that the comforter I have picked out is from Pottery Barn Kids...but in my defense...it is one that he can grown into and have for quite a while. And it 's not like I am going to buy the sheets and stuff from there...that's what Kohl's and Target is for!!!

Anyways...bigger house, I should expect it to cost a lot more to finish...I'm just trying to get over the sticker shock!

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down...

Ok...so it's not Monday anymore, and it's not raining...but still...

I used to love Mondays. Loved them...but in the past year I have grown to really detest them. Especially when I am waking up in a hotel bed on Monday morning...

But I've been kind of grumbly and seclusive since getting up on Monday...I need something to get past this little funk I'm in.

So it's been a while...

Isn't it funny how quickly life gets away from us? I'm taking a few minutes and catching up on everyone's blogs and well...thought I should post too.

Let's see...We survived Christmas...Busy Season officially started for work...I fried my BlackBerry and am now in the process of getting my new one back how I like it...I'm running out of things for Josh's Honey-Do list...My Remicade treatments are going great and appear to be working wonders!...

It is my goal to start running again this week. I have not done so since October and well...I think that is part of the reason I'm feeling so run down.

So that's about it for now...hoping to update my pictures soon...
