understanding in a car crash

whoa, blast from the past. i'm listening to thursday. crazy!

okay so i'm a failure and i apologize to anyone who reads my blogs and actually cares if i update everyday or not. it's been another few days since i've updated. i've been a bit busy and really, all week i went to bed at like 11pm or later and it took its toll on me during work. i found myself wanting to fall asleep or being a little more on edge. it doesn't help that the babies were pretty much little devils all week (with regards to their nap schedules...). i know i wrote about it earlier this week so i won't rehash it. thankfully, friday i only had one major meltdown with leila so that was fortunate. so let me see... i guess i'll catch you up on what has happened the past 3ish days.

thursday my parents came over for dinner! it was nice to have them over. there seems a large lack of stress between my dad and bud which is so nice for me. i don't know where the change came from but i won't argue with it. its been a nice change of pace, being able to relax when they are in the same room as one another. anyway - i made tacos for them and by the end of the night we all had full happy tummy's. full of yummy tacos! afterwards, once my parents had left, my best friend katie (she and i are going on 23 years of being best friends!)  and i talked about her gym and how bud and i should join it. we had been in the market for a little while for a gym. so we met up with her and her boyfriend and went over to gold's gym of crofton. that place is intense. it was a lot of fun and after some haggling and number's being thrown around all over paper, we got an incredible deal on our gym membership! so stoked to be able to hang out with katie at the gym and for bud and i to hang out at the gym. i really have been trying on my food change. i've started counting calories again. but this time it seems easier because i just put it in a little data thing on my phone (thank God for technology) so its easier to keep track of how many calories i'm taking in. i have a free meeting with a personal trainer on may 18. i am sure i'll be thoroughly depressed afterward, but i need to remember to keep my head up and know that its a step in the right direction. its a step towards shedding the pounds and keeping them off. and a step towards living a healthier lifestyle.

anyway - friday i worked ALL day. from 8:45 to 10:00. thats how many hours? nearly 14 hours. i was thrashed after that. caught up on the big bang theory and started catching ourselves up on heroes. ando became a lot cooler.

today - saturday - we did a bunch of things! i feel like we accomplished A LOT today and i'm very happy with it. i woke up and put away the clean clothes, had breakfast, took my vitamins, cleaned the kitchen, washed the dishes and put them away, put together a gym bag (which later i realized i left out 2 important articles of clothing for myself so it was kind of laaaaaame), made breakfast for bud, brushed my teeth. that was all before 11am! after all that, we went to the gym! we worked out for an hour, showered at the gym and headed over to the mall where we had lunch and saw iron man 2! i really enjoyed it!!! it has inspired me to read comics and such. :) after iron man we went to my brothers house on the eastern shore where we watched silly shows on the disney channel, watched night at the museum 2 (which i think is on par with the first one) and saw the nieces and nephew and bob's wife donna for about 20 minutes at the end of the night. all in all it was a day packed with awesome stuff and although i'm worn out, i do feel very accomplished.

tomorrow is church. we're going to make it this week! then i think we're going to come home and veg the remainder of the day. maybe i'll even take a nap! who knows. so although busy - it was a lot of fun, these past few days. thats all for now, i'll write more tomorrow i hope. love you all. grace&peace.
