Just A Good Solid Ramble...

So here we are right? Its 8:30pm on Wednesday night and FINALLY(huge sigh) my house is calm. Everything except the dryer is quiet and that object I don't mind, its being productive for me. I had plans with Dessy tonight for some coffee and a little shopping before she heads out all next week to her annual district meeting but we both agreed we are exhausted.
Our server went down at work last Wednesday and we have been down since. What does that mean? It means I cant do anything. I cant post payments, schedule patients, see charts or notes, do my daily reports, answer any questions a patient might have etc. Honestly I have a notebook with 7 pages of things to do and people to call back and appointments to set up. I do LOVE my job and so if I am being a huge whiny booty its because its really never hard work until that thing that makes it really easy (computer) crashes to the ground. Needless to say I have been doing piddly things around the office to kill time why the hygienist(I will come back to her, in another post soon) still works.
I got off early today and got to put in some sister time before heading home. By the time I got home Russ was practically asleep on the couch, mind you it was only 430. I told him like a Mom would, make something to eat and go to bed! This shift is convenient though it is exhausting for everyone in the house!
Instead of setting at home I decided to grab Bubby and head to the local fabric/hobby store. I am starting a couple DIY projects(floating headboard, and crackle painting) so I wanted to open my mind up a little more to exactly what I wanted as far as fabric. I did not see anything that caught my eye, although I did walk out with two really cute colored glass necklace pendents for MWAH! :) so a successful shopping trip it was.
Came home, got Bubba ready for bed, kissed him goodnight and away he went. He sings all of his songs as he falls asleep. I tell him its OK to do so as long as he is whispering, so he doesn't wake Daddy. I know I seem frustrated with Dalton quite a bit lately and to be honest I don't think its him. He is really a good/typical/power struggling 3 year old. Its me, Mommy that is tired and cranky. All he wants is my attention, so I am realizing I may have to be able to give a little more, even if there is only 24 hours in the day.
On the upside of things I hit the 200lb mark on the scales this Monday at my once a week weigh in. That is a great mile marker for me, coming from 230! Just have to keep on truckin.
I also purchased a journal from Starbucks this week. I suggest if you are a woman, who loves to write or tends to think a lot, go grab one of these. They are 8.95 and titled My Life. My Loves. My Lists.
It's one of those books where it hands you a quote that jump starts your mind. ie: "Passion is not necessarily something we have, its something we choose" What are you most passionate about? Then it gives you lines to journal on. Very cool. I carry it in my purse for those down times.
With this wintry weather we sure have got our home all warm and cozy looking. I now have curtains over my accent windows in the living room. We have a dinner table! I have finished the main bath. Completed Dalton's big boy room, and now we have our room and Austins to complete. Our room will be done by Jan.30th. Paint and headboard project goes in there.
Its a HOME (finally)! It's warm and cozy and convenient for us. Thanks to our landlord Russ will be doing an addition once we get all the permits and codes passed with the city. YAY!
OK well I believe that should update y'all for now :)
Gonna go fold that load of laundry and hit the pillow.
PS: Do ya LOVE the new page layout? You know me and my thing for HEARTS! I simply adore it!
