Best Gift

It's been a very long, trying three weeks. And last night I received the best gift (and only gift) I could ask for this year. Life is a little better for the next three days. And I'll take what I can get.

First failed goal

I haven't posted about this, but I guess I should. I went out for one of my goals, and failed. I will be trying again, but that really sucked. I have been a hard time with it since. There have been a lot of other trying situations going on right now as well that are causing a lot of stress. I'm trying to not let it all get to me.

First day back

I returned to work today. I am already calling it my "drama free zone.". I needed it. It wasn't to busy but I get myself busy anyway. Picked up our niece tonight, and I'm excited to spend some time with her. Hopefully it starts feeling like the holidays soon.

Le sigh

Im doing awful at blogging now that I am back in Vegas. But then again I thought I would be happier about being back. But the boys are not doing well without Daddy, drama is running rampant elsewhere. I just feel like I jumped the gun on this one.

Rushing in head first

The boys have been so off schedule since the move, it has me second guessing the move sometimes. Them not sleeping has me so exhausted that I'm near tears most of the time. I just am so ready to have my husband back...and it's only been a week. I'm over this whole ordeal and this whole year already. I'm done with the stress of it all one way or another. It would be great to have us all home together where we belong. I need him home soon that's for sure.

Best episode

Let me escape a bit of reality for a moment - -

Last night was the Season 4 finale of Sons of Anarchy.  I know I have talked about this extensively before, but SOA is quite possibly my favorite show currently on television. And I have a few shows I really do enjoy.  Yet, nothing is so well written and executed (no pun intended) as this show.  I am always on edge each week, especially this season.  Its been a really rough season that I just didn't see the way out of for the characters, especially Ron Perlman's "Clay" (who we are made to hate more and more each week).  I am still floored with how perfectly last night's episode ended.  It was beautiful and actually touching to see that they let things wrap up as well as they could for such situations. It was literally four seasons in the making to get them to the exact spot each member ended up in.  Fantastic season finale! I don't think any show can beat it this year. I cannot believe now its eight months until the show comes back for season 5! Eeek!

If you have not ever watched Sons of Anarchy, I thoroughly recommend you get on that immediately. You will be hooked, I guarantee it!

And so it begins...

I haven't blogged in almost two weeks.  And not for lacking of starting to, but then getting sidetracked.

A lot has happened in this amount of time.  All along, we had been planning our surprise Thanksgiving trip back to Las Vegas to see family and friends.  But then just about three weeks ago, it became more and more apparent that the boys and I would not just be visiting, but also moving back as well.  While the husband would still have to return to the dreaded "D" for some time, we would be able to be back at home and working on helping out around Vegas. 

We got in on Wednesday afternoon before Thanksgiving.  My parents were basically the only ones who knew we were coming, who were in town.  Our first reveal was to our best and most dearest friends.  It was amazing and wonderful and felt great to make them happy like that.  The next day was the "big" surprise for Thanksgiving.  We have close family friends that all get together on Thanksgiing as a big group, so of course this was the perfect time to show up to surprise everyone.  And we did just that.  It made for a wonderful holiday for sure! 

Since then its just been getting around town to do things and see people before my husband had to leave.  Its definitely been a busy 10 days.  Due to weather conditions, the husband had to leave earlier than planned.  He got on the road early Saturday afternoon.

Now begins the hard part - - the beginning of the end of our Dallas days, per se?!?  While its amazing to be home, and I am so thankful and glad to have the opportunity to be home, its going to be very rough for our family to be separated again.  And this could be up to six months.  This is now the long haul to getting my whole family home again where we belong.
