Well I am doing pretty good so far. I should have done my work out but it's hard for me to do it when the house is begging me to be clean. Oh well, I will get to it. I realize that I spend W.A.Y too much time playing on the Internet so I am trying to discipline myself to have certain things completed before I can have some time to myself surfing the beautiful web.
My husband was in Cancun this past week for business, I was NOT allowed to come some crazy company policy they have. When I heard his itinerary I see why family can't go, there is no free time until night when everyone parties and so forth so family time would be me alone with the kids minus $10,000 for travel expenses. We stayed home.
At first I was really nervous about him leaving for 6 days. I don't sleep well when he's not here. You know all those bumps in the night, well I hear everyone of them. I have to say we did alright though. I was a little teary when he walked out the door but within minutes told myself to buck up and get moving. I intentionally made the week a busy one so it would go by quickly. We had play dates for the kids and for me, guitar lessons, Awana club for the kids, haircuts, etc. The week went by pretty quick for us and for that I am grateful!
I turned 35 years old this past week. Augh!! I still feel like I'm 25 minus the girls being more perky and few other things I won't go into details on, but you ladies KNOW what I am talking about. I'm not one for New Year's resolutions I kind of make mine around my birthday so I am still thinking of what I want to see happen for myself this year. I have a few things in mind but of course some depend on where we will be living, and you all know I don't know where that will be.
Gifts? my absent, yet thoughtful husband had flowers delivered to me on my birthday. Aren't they lovely??


Here's a close up, because I LOVE close ups!



Once he made it home I received the 2nd part of my gift. I am a sucker for silver jewelery so after hinting for the better part of the week with him over texts and phone calls about how much I would LOVE some new *bling* he listened!!



This pendant is my favorite!! Good eye Jay!!
