this weekend was pretty damn good. and necessary.

the husband and i are preparing for my family to come visit us. this will be the first time we've seen them since the wedding (almost a year) and while i love my parents dearly....well...being a new family takes practice and patience and it's a little stressful to plan a whole week together.

this weekend there was...

And I enjoyed you this weekend!

Sounds like a marvelous weekend. It's great that you and your husband are such a hot couple. Some people (not me) aren't so lucky. Savor every moment.kiss

today was a long day.

but it wasn't all bad. i feel....calmer.

i know i need to make some changes....but i have an idea now of what i want to do. just knowing that makes me feel better.

and i got a good amount of time outside today. i don't like hot weather so being outside when it's 89 is usually not my favorite thing....

i need to make a change.

but i don't know what specifically needs to change.

my job definitely. don't get me wrong, i love teaching preschool. it's amazing. but....i didn't graduate from college and then complete 2/3 of a masters to work for 9.25/hour. and before i sound too whiny, i am just thankful to have a job currently...and one that i enjoy most of...

do you have hobbies...?... or maybe you just need to find an activity that takes you out of your rut.... like Bear Wrestling....

Just kidding

anyway,,, hope you find yourself


just google Des Moines

start with this

bear wrestling sounds pretty awesome....but i'd probably shit myself with terror. i've discussed hobbies with the husband. i have a serious itch to do some diy and crafty stuff but i can never justify the expense if i'm going to hate the results. we'll see....

the usual way out of a rut for me is to ride it out by writing or coloring (cause i'm like a 5 year old) or something else creative but this time....i just feel too tired to even attempt anything.

tomorrow the husband and i have the day off.

it's the first (and last) for quite some time.

eventually i hope that we'll have time for each other again...but at the moment our life together is work, eat, sleep, repeat. and it's beyond tiring...especially given that i'm working 9-10 hour days every single day.

i've been trying to be nice to myself...letting myself rest when...

I'm on 10 hour days Mon-Fri and 5 hours Sat mornings and it feels like I never have the time to be the husband or father I should be. Forget having the time to maintain the house or car or anything else. I just try to be thankful that I have a job when so many don't. It is friggin' exhausting though! Hang in there doll, hopefully it will get better! smile

i love writing. i write here....about totally random stuff. i write short stories and poems (though admittedly not much lately) and i keep a regular blog. the husband refers to that as the "real blog" or the "blog blog."

when he and i first started dating he asked permission to read it, which i found ridiculously sweet of him. truth is though, it was incredibly...

i'm not quite sure what it is about the zoo.

honestly.

the animals? the feel of summer? the relaxed atmosphere? talking a walk on the wild side?

okay so the last one was super lame. but i mean. honestly.

every time (admittedly it's only been twice) that the husband and i take the boy to the zoo we end up having crazy hot sex once...

i work in childcare.

i've blogged about disliking the cattiness of the women i work with before. i found a way to ameliorate that situation. i relinquished control of my room...which was a really hard decision for me. i love the kids i work for and with. seeing them learn something new excites me the way that it excites them. but i couldn't put my...

today has been awesome.

not all day. the morning. the afternoon. right now.

but right at noon the husband and i had a family lunch and it was...awkward to say the least. it pissed my husband and i off and we needed to get out of the house.

so we did. if the husband hadn't spent all day yesterday throwing up from drinking too much...

I'l bet you are good at "one-on-one' in the bedroom. Or I'll bet your husband thinks so.
