Where do I begin...

Yesterday was interesting. In a not so great, pretty cruddy way. I truly despise drama. Yet, it made its way around yesterday...with someone who not only loves dream but also gets pleasure from creating it,too. I will never understand the need. 

Needless to say, the person is cut out of my life. I realized how much this person couldn't careless about me or my family. Its all about them. Always has been.  I don't need someone like that and my children definitely deserve better than having to deal with that. And we are all the better for it.

I've never had a problem cutting ties in the past. If a person does not put in effort or show they care, they aren't worth my time.

On another note, I finally finished reading my current book this morning. Only 29 more to go. To reach my goal that is. Just another one of my 101 in 1001. I miss reading. So I feel like I am back in the habit of making time to read. Reading probably is in my top five most enjoyable things to do.  Now to find a new book.

Its been four weeks since the boys and I left Vegas. Its weird to think it has already been that long.  I need to get pictures of the boys printed to send to people back home.  I think I want to eventually buy my parents a webcam for skype. It would be nice to see them. The boys would love it, too.

Its so far been a relaxing holiday weekend.  Tomorrow will come too soon I am sure.

Purple

That is the color of the front of my hair now.  I love it. Its fun. I've always wanted fun colored hair and never able to do it because of work or was too afraid to do it as a kid. I think I'm hooked now. Its like tattoos and piercings; once you start, you want more. Its just my love of freedom of expression.  I am happy being me.

Lonely

That's how I'm feeling today.  Its starting to sink in that I haven't had any other in-person connections beyond my husband and my kids.  And while I love them with my entire being, I need other connections as well.  I don't feel like I quite fit in with the Mommies Network group that is here, as they are very small and all really close.  Besides, they are all in counties/cities north of us and I am not sure I'll ever be able to make it to one of their events.  I miss people dearly, but more so I am terrified of not making any friends the whole time we are here.  I get cabin fever REALLY bad, but right now its just a huge hassle trying to take the kids out during the day by myself. It took an hour just to get them out for a walk around the block.  I just wish there was someone I could just call to hang out with or plan a playdate for the kids....or something.  I don't really know how to meet people in a place that I don't even know. 

Maybe I just need to find a job asap...easiest way to get out of the house AND to meet people.  If only we had someone to watch the boys. 

Not really in the mood

Long night ahead

Weather has been a bit chaotic in the DFW metroplex tonight.  We were grazed with the edge of the severe thunderstorms while multiple tornados and funnel clouds have been reported in south and eastern areas mostly, with at least one supercell near Fort Worth. We only got hail, rain, winds and the like. Let's hope that is the worst.  Its already been a long night, and its not over yet. Most has passed but we aren't clear yet. Glad I took a nap earlier, as I expect I won't be sleeping tonight.

Slacker

So I completely spaced writing last night.  We had such a good day; and I was just so exhausted that it completely slipped my mind.  We rode the light rail train into downtown Dallas and checked out the Farmers Market.  Of course, my absent-minded self completely forgot to get cash before we went.  But it was really great and the prices were AWESOME! Best deals on produce I have ever seen!  Las Vegas farmers markets are a JOKE - in size, product, and pricing!  Who knew what I was really missing! We will be definitely frequenting the farmers market and/or maybe some of the farms themselves for many of the food items we need. 

We are actually getting ourselves ready this morning to head back there to actually purchase some of the great fruits and vegetables we found there.  I am very excited!  Hopefully we will return today with lots of goodies.

Into the Groove

I think I'm getting our daily routine down finally. Bed time is starting to get a bit better with the boys. Well even the last two days have been better. Its almost been three weeks since we got here, and not a lot has been done around the house.  We'll get on that eventually. 

I know I am only a few days into my 101 goals, but I can already sense that nagging little voice saying to just forget it. I do a lot to stiffle that. I am one of those people who start a lot of things but then loses the motivation to keep up with it. But at the same time, I never turn down a challenge.  So I am trying to look at this goal thing as a challenge to expand and better myself.  I really think the awesomeness is wearing off from my "high" on my birthday and reality is sinking in that I suck at sticking to things. I need to review my list again and find a good starting point to focus on. My brain is far too scattered, so one step at a time. Baby steps if need be. 

Looking forward to some exploring tomorrow.  Hope to come home with some yummy goodies from the Farmers Market as well. I look forward to being in the city and learning more about our new home.
