Believe it or not, I have actually stuck with a blog long enough to have made it to my 200th post!! I realize this blog isn’t about anything in particular, but I have loved writing it every morning. It’s always good to have some kind of outlet where you don’t have to be afraid of what others will think, and you feel free to express yourself and your thoughts. For me, it has always been journals, but after I hit my mid-twenties, I found it harder to actually finish a journal that I had started. When I was younger, I…

I have been talking about steam cleaning the carpets in our house for months now. We have two dogs, which in itself, makes carpets dirty. In addition, the carpets haven’t really been cleaned that thoroughly for many years. Sure, we vacuum and we spot clean, but we wanted to try steam cleaning. We went to the Harris Teeter around the corner and rented a Rug Doctor. They cost about $25 for 24 hours. Then, there were all these bottles of cleaner. Wanting our carpets to be super clean, we bought just about everything there was to buy, loaded up the…

Why is it so hard to get back into your routine after an interruption? I was really getting into a groove before I went home to Georgia. Jazzercise every Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Reaching my writing goals. Keeping the house clean and organized. Then I went home and my routine that was so hard to get into was practically destroyed overnight. Since I got home, I haven’t been to Jazzercise once. I have felt super tired and have been lacking the energy I had before I went. What the hell happened to me? Why is it so hard to just pick…

Ahhhh!! Last night was so scary for me! G and I went to bed around 1:30 and it was raining with a thunderstorm alert, but I usually can sleep right through that sort of thing. At 3:30 AM I was still awake, holding onto G for dear life. It sounded like the storm was right outside our window, crashing into our back yard. I had the blinds closed, but the sudden flashes of lightning were still visible through the cracks. It was a rough night. This morning, G doesn’t seem to remember me snuggling up to him at all. I…

When I woke up this morning and actually became coherent (which takes a while for me in the mornings), the first thing I thought about was my friend T!! Her C-section is scheduled for today, and I can’t wait to hear the news that her new baby boy is born and safe!!! I can’t get down there to see her until mid-October, but my heart is with her. Hopefully her boyfriend will give me a call when everything settles down. It is just so neat to think that a brand new life is coming into the world today. I know…

I had a great time in GA with my family, but I was so happy when I pulled up to our house yesterday and I got to hug my gorgeous fiance! The trip home was wonderful and it is always fun to spend time with my family, but it was so busy the whole time and I feel so incredibly tired today. It took poor G about 20 minutes to get me up this morning and out of bed. I missed him so much. I would have given anything to be able to just snuggle up next to him all…
