It feels like our family life has been on the inside of a snow globe the last 6 months. We've moved across the country, had a baby, husband had a major career change and my mind is just fried. Thats all just the tip of the ice burg. So much has changed and been rearranged. And I'm totally feeling it tonight. I'm really... really tired. And really leaky (as I once heard teary eyes described)
Sometimes naked ain't so pretty.
Brandon left for Singapore yesterday (wow.. was it really only just yesterday? ugh) I'm really happy for him and his new job. Its such a good opportunity for him and for our family. I knew it was going to take some adjusting and getting used to. Its all new to us. We're used to being military and seeing people go away for long periods of time. Its a way of life that you somehow just get served and learn to cope and deal with because you just have no other choice. I've been blessed in the fact that for our married life, Brandon never went overseas. (interesting story goes with that... but I digress) I hope the adjusting process moves quickly.
So, he'll be gone 28 days, then come home for 28 days.... and then repeat. Its been 24 hours. I miss him already. I know theres a chance he'll end up reading this so... babe, I am fine... tired, wondering how you are and missing you like crazy... I told you that you were driving me crazy being home all the time. Who knew it'd drive me crazy with you not being here too? I can't win lol we're going to be fine here! Emma misses you but you know I can be super mom if I need to be and you know I can handle it. I hope you're doing well... I can't wait to hear from you! :)
In other on goings... My goal this week was to find a way to exercise. I've decided to try zumba. Everyone I've asked has given it nothing but amazing reviews. I found a class at a local church once a week for 1 hour. I'm going next Tuesday to try it out and then I can sign up for more weeks if I like it. Wish me luck, I'm so afraid my lack of dance skills and absence of coordination is going to mimic the sort of disaster you might see Steve Urkel create (remember him, folks?) Did I do thaaaat? ....I may be completely over reacting, but its still a concern in the back of my mind. I hope that mental image got a few laughs out of some people lol I also ordered the zumba game for the wii. It should be here end of this week so I'll have time to practice a little.
Not having my other half to make me get a grip and quit stressing over stuff after only 24 hours is reason enough for me to realize that I do need an outlet that has nothing to do with the kids or anyone else... just me. I think its ok for mommy to be a little selfish from time to time.
As I'm losing weight, I'm becoming a better mommy. I'm becoming a better person and a more able person who is confident and ready to take on whatever life throws at me (well... almost everything!) Goodnight world. Tomorrow is another day.
32 pounds. 32 pounds. 32 pounds. - (Until I reach my first big weight loss goal...)
