Weekend recap
This weekend was great. So great I fought a hangover all day yesterday. HAH. Hubs and I had a lot of fun on our weekend away. We missed our babies but we didn’t realize how much we missed eachother until we got out there. It was perfect timing and just a lot of fun. I took this awesome picture of The Alamo when we were out there (San Antonio)….
I love it.
Before we left for our little trip, we threw Hubs’ grandma a surprise party for her 75th birthday. She lives in Ohio but she’s here visiting for 2 months and if you know my family, you know that we will throw a party for every birthday–really, for anything. HAH. I loved the decorations and the cake though.
Livie loved it too 
By the way, remember when I said she’d be walking soon? Scratch that. This girl is NEVER going to walk. Pulling up and walking across furniture is apparently good enough for her. I’m not gonna rush it though. The faster she walks…the faster she grows up. And we all know how I feel about my girls’ growing up lately.
Routine
Today is my first day back at work. I’m back to my routine. And honestly, as much fun as vacation was, I’m glad to be back in it. Of course I’d rather be home today but since I HAVE to work I guess being here making up all the work I missed is better than being gone having MORE pile up, right? Anyway, my week off was awesome. The trip was FANTASTIC. Panama City Beach is GORGEOUS. I’ve never seen a more beautiful beach in my life. Clean water. What a thought. I know that I should be glad that I still live by the beach BUT our beach is gross. And when I lived in Ohio—THAT beach was gross. THIS beach in Florida was amazing.
And Nettie LOVED it.
Even Nimmie did.
Apparently it was quite relaxing
Yes even I donned a bathing suit and swam in this awesome water
But so when I was gone, I wondered wtf was going on with the universe that Ed McMahon died….then Farrah Fawcet…then Michael Jackson and THEN Billy Mays. Seriously, what the hell?!?! I leave for one week and so much chaos happened. Not to mention crazy work drama as well. What was it about last week??? While we were having a great time, everything else in the world went to crap.
Random
1. I hope all you dad’s out there had a great father’s day. i know we did!
2. tomorrow we FINALLY leave for vacation. i probably won’t be blogging much or even at all. but be glad that i’m out having a great time with my family.
3. i gotta say that i’m sick of summer already. the past 2 weeks it’s been 95 degrees or hotter EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. it’s madness. tomorrow? 100. wednesday? 100. and i’m sure it won’t be any cooler in florida.
*dies*
The downside to vacation
Bet you never thought there was one huh? Well there is. It’s called stressing out at work BEFORE the vacation to make sure everything is done ahead of time. And then you have the stressing out at work AFTER to catch up on all the work you missed. I love traveling. You all know this. I love vacations. Next week we’re finally leaving for that florida trip I told ya’ll about for Nettie’s dance competition and I’m SO excited. But i’m going to be off work for 6 work days. That’s A LOT of work I’ll be missing. So today the stressing has started. All the work that needs to be done ahead of time is done. But I’m already dreading coming back and seeing my desk piled up…and having to catch up.
Reason number 1598 why I need to be a stay at home mom and NOT work…no make up work!
I didn't cry
Today is my first day back to work. I didn’t cry when i left my sweet baby this morning. i almost did….and then i almost did again when Hubs texted me pictures of her. but i’m holding strong. most the day is over and i think i’m gonna make it. i miss her so stinking much and please believe that i did not miss the whole work thing.
i did however miss all of you. so much that i think i’m going to go head and make this public again. see how manic i am? i go from wanting to close this thing to making it public again. actually i’ve been thinking about it a lot lately. and i think that if i would have blogged after i had Nimmie about everything that went on i could have handled things a lot better. but i was in a bad place for a few weeks and blogging was the last thing on my mind. crazy how that works. so i just never blogged about it at all. it’s all old news but the short version is i had a few issues with my recovery and then issues with breast feeding and issues with readjusting. just know that things are 150% better and have been for a couple months now.
Nimmie will be 3 months old next week. I can’t even believe it. We went outta town this past weekend…sort of my last hoorah before going back to work. we went back to that lake we went to last summer. Nettie had so much fun….totally made it worth it even though it was bittersweet to me. i’ll be catching up on yall’s blogs this week. get ready for some major commenting:)
and yes Nettie did go ballistic when she got to ride a real horse on a real 30 minute ride. her dream come true. she’s loving this whole competitive dance thing but she would much rather do horseback riding lessons. i’m working on seeing how much they are. if they’re affordable, i’m willing to pull her from dance to let her do that. if not, dance it shall be. because you know, this month is her FOURTH recital. she’s been doing this since she was 3. craziness.
ANYWAY hi, I’m back. I know you missed me. Thanks for all the well wishes for this hard, hard week for me.
Snow
it’s one of the few things that prohibit me from moving to the boston/manchester area of the country. i kid you not, i fell in love with that place! and if Hubs’s mom would move with us and if there was no such thing as snow there i’d move there in a heartbeat. it was so gorgeous. the trip was so fabulous. i wanted to stay there like 3 extra days. LOL. it’s good to be back home though and get back into a normal routine. i’m actually tired of traveling for the moment. i know in a month i’ll take that back. but check this place out! how could you NOT want to live there?
oh yeah and Nettie’s costume finally came in. she’s gonna be glinda the good witch of the north from wizard of oz. i’m so excited for halloween!
Nostalgia
i failed to mention to yall that i went to see the new kids on the block last night.
yep. sure did.
and they were amazing and so much fun. i never thought i’d have so much fun being 10 again! my friend took pictures during the show. there was no way i’d be able to sneak my big ass camera in. i don’t have them though and won’t til monday.
but still. FUN!
so tomorrow we leave for Boston. i’m so freakin excited. it’s gonna be so gorgeous up there. we get back tuesday so i’ll blog about it after we return!
