Things that are making
me happy lately:\
When the sun has been hot and shining down on us a couple of
days on this vacation
Listening to music while cooking dinner
Going to Soulkeeper’s cottage and seeing how amazingly trained
her three little ones all are when it comes to sleep (us talking up a storm and
loudly and coming in with frosted cupcakes and her kids staying quietly in
their beds as was bedtime and adult time). Nothing impresses me more than well-disciplined
kids (as I know the effort from the parents that this takes to produce! And ps
yes we left them a bunch of cupcakes for the morningJ))
Watching Lost A LOT
The card my Hubby wrote to me on our 19th
anniversary -so beautiful and sincere words
The fact that after 19 yrs. married we still like hanging
out together so much. On this vacation we are rarely apart (it’s a little silly
actually!)
How close I am to Mr. Soul keeper. Love that guy. You have
to be pretty close to a guy friend to give him a foot massage all evening and
tell him that his feet are in awkward placesJ)))
While soulkeeper sits in the middle of us lol!!!! That is how close we are-juts
love it-what a gift. And planning a holiday the four of us in a few years….yahoo!
Getting our kids back Friday!!!! Including Chase who decided
(on his own) the best thing to do was come home and not miss our cottage week
as a family. Yahoo!!!!!
That my Mom is feeling a little better here and there (sometimes)
on her vacation. That we have the luxury of having her spend her vacation at
our house while we are at the cottage so she can enjoy the pool and have her friends
over and enjoy some new and different scenery.
Watching movies ( 50 shades of grey anyone?) that man is sooooo sexy!!!!
Planning out our exercise very strict schedule for Sept and beyond
as a couple
The passion and excitement I feel with all the work I will
do this fall. I am going to give it my 100% and really build up my business. I
am looking very forward to this (unexpectedly)
Annual Regatta coming up on Holiday Lake. Love seeing the kids
race and spend time with our buddies
Things that are making
me sad latelyL(very very very first world
issues)
How hard it is for my husband about giving up all alcohol
even after 1.5 yrs. (had to give up for health reasons). It’s hard to hear him
talk about it ….. And how will always be a daily struggle and especially at social
occasions etc. Heartbreaking in so many ways and always will be on so many
levels. Hard to explain unless you have experienced this in your family.
Knowing that Beauty’s big 6 months X-rays are coming up and
always worrying about the outcomes
Not knowing if Beauty is having fun at camp as no contact and she is not a camp lover (but always ends up having a great time in the past but hates the thought of leaving)
That is is soooooo cold and freezing at cottage last couple
of days and into tomorrow. Like the artic!!
That I have dreams and nightmares every single night about the place I worked for 11 yrs and missing my work and the people there and feelings in the dream of separation and alienation
That sometimes I feel very bored and very annoyed in life
That I miss my wonderful friends in Swiss (you know who you
are girlfriend!) I want to see her. Long distance is ok, but has nothing on
time spend together for real. Especially with this career transition there is nobody else
in the world I would rather spend a few days with and let her pump me up with
belief and happiness and hope (in person!!!)
That I am scared of getting old
That I miss holding my kids in my arms
That pizza pizza is closed on Wednesday so going to hike
today a good 2.5 hrs without getting to eat that yummy food
That I have had a stomach ache/backache/ headache for a week
now
That both trips we have planned and paid for in the next
year all flights have been cancelled and changed so now have to figure out what
to do
In conclusion……
I love vacation. I love my Hubby. I am starting to miss our
kids a lot but will see them very soon (and then probably want them to go back
to camp!)
Life is good. Posts like this help me articulate what is
going on inside of me (the easy things that are easy to share)
