It is amazing how things change. I have been so stressed out with finances and everything else in the last few months and now all of a sudden things are looking up. Boyd is finally getting a raise that is fair and I am working so we will finally be able to get our priceless but very expensive daughter paid off. Heck, isn't it normal to still be paying for your seven year old? I started working on Saturday and though it is a change and will be tough at times it is a great change. I have been feeling like I am not contributing to the family. Ok, bad words for a mom that works 24/7, but sometimes you just feel so complacent and like things are just on a stand still. I am so grateful that I have been able to stay home with the girls for the last seven years and wouldn't change a thing but I think it will be a sense of pride to be able to say that I am doing something to help out with the finances and with my own growth. I will be working four days a week at night and it is fortunate that Boyd works for such a small dealership because I will be able to drop the girls off for an hour twice a week and he is off one of the times so Saturdays are the only day that he will not be with them. I was asking Aspen if she is glad that I work at nights and she said yes because she likes having that special time with her daddy. It will be interesting though over the next week and a half because Aspen will be starting school on Monday and Boyd will be the one getting the girls ready for the nighttime routine. Aspen and Emma will go to opening ceremonies Monday and then the kindergartners will be testing at some point next week. Emma will then start school on the 31st. I also was fortunate enough to finally find a preschool for Dylan she will be going to school three days a week. What am I going to do when all three of my girls are in school. It is so crazy to see how much things have changed. I have been home almost all day with three girls with minor breaks (am kindergarten and two days of preschool) to Aspen in school all day, Emma in am k, and Dylan in three days of preschool.
I guess there are absolutely no excuses for not getting my workouts in. I actually have only had three days off in the last four weeks and most of those have included some form of activity. Man, my lifestyle has really taken a change since moving to Bountiful. I finally have realized that the headaches I have suffered from for the last oh.... let's not say years and age myself.... since I was five are brought on by sugar. WHO'd HAVE THUNK? My dad, he told me to limit them several times over the years. I don't have the sever headaches when I don't have sugar and when I take a break and do I pay the price for the next few days. I have learned to make some pretty interesting food options. I have found a pretty good recipe for egg buns. Ok, so it taste nothing like real bread but when you don't get a headache from them it is worth it. I made the best burger with onions and mushrooms on one the other day and as long as you haven't had bread for several days it is heavenly.
Well, I have been really taking care of myself and am gradually getting to my weight goals. I am hoping to reach it by my 35th (there it is:)) birthday so I have about three months to reach it. I want to have this year be the start of the best years of my life...
I had better go I have a lot to get done and have to get to the gym before too late. Boyd will be walking in the door any minute and if we want to do a family activity before I leave for work at 5 then I had better get on the ball.
Have an amazing day.
