It has been FOREVER...sorry!

Since I last wrote...I quit my job, have been working on my own business (www.custodyandsupportsolutions.com), and have started marriage counseling with hubby.

Lots of changes!

I won't try to fill in details on what you've missed, but instead I'll start with today!

I now have a workspace. Sort of. It's almost complete. Hubby and I cleared out the corner desk area in our room yesterday. I've ordered Board Dudes 18"x22" Magnetic Combo Board (15094-4) and 2010 Blue Sky Endless Summer Wall Calendar 15 x 12 for the wall to help me keep track of things, and shelves are in the works as well. Hubby has to fix the outlet there, so I can plug in the laptop, then I'm all set! Working on my bed is awful. Every day I have to clear the bed when hubby gets home, and I have no where to put my stuff, so it ends up on the floor. Now I have a place for everything, a nice window to look out of, and a set space to turn my brain onto work mode.

I didn't sleep well last night at all. Maybe got 3-4 hours. Had to take stepson to school this morning. When I got home just before 8, I grabbed some chicken and rice, set DD14 up for school work that she could do on her own, and went back to sleep. When I woke up just after noon, I felt horrible. I retain water pretty often...today it's 8 pounds of extra water. YUCK! I had a headache as well. So I sat around all afternoon...then decided to work out.

After 20 minutes on the Wii Fit, aerobic activities mainly, my headache was nearly gone, and my attitude was much brighter. Still retaining water...but that will go away probably tomorrow morning--I'll pee like crazy. I'm drinking lots of water for the rest of the day to flush it out.

With a clearer head, and better attitude, I decided that we're getting out of here tomorrow! The girls and I are going to head to a local state park in the afternoon and go for a nice walk. We have been snowed in for so long...and I'm definitely tired of looking at the inside of my house. If it goes well, we'll try to do it once a week.

Dinner tonight is going to be fried Whiting and mac & cheese...and mixed vegetables. The kids wanted the mac & cheese, but we have to have some healthy veggies, too! We've had nothing but chicken and burger for weeks, so the fish will be a nice change. And yes, baked would be healthier...but everyone else likes fried better. I don't care about how it's fixed...so long as it's not chicken! LOL

The girls' birthdays are coming quickly! D12 will turn 13 on Friday. She has big plans for her birthday. She and two friends are going to see Alice in Wonderland in 3-D. Afterward, we'll have pizza and ice cream cake from DQ, and the friends will be staying over for the night. Sounds like fun to me!

The following weekend will be D14's birthday, turning 15. She's having a sleepover as well...but no movie. She has plans with her friends to go see The Last Song in April when it debuts. Too bad it's not a month sooner. She'll have a great time anyway.

I promise I will update more often. Will try to go back to every day :)
