Another Great Weekend

Those of you who didn't already know: Josh got back from Germany on Friday night. Hooray! Now we'll see how much of that "10 days at home" he'll actually get to spend at home. He's at work right now... they just don't have everything ready for him to deploy yet (which isn't really their fault since it was such short notice). I'm not going to complain if he deploys a little later than planned... of course that may also mean he gets back a little later than planned, which would mess with our plans. So maybe I will complain after all hahaha. Our plans being, me going to Texas for the birth of my new niece or nephew!!!! YES!!! Vita's gonna have a baby!!! :D :D :D SOOOOOooooo excited. And I can blog it now because she already posted it on facebook ;) haha. I HAVE to be there. I just have to, that's all there is to it :) So... yeah... our weekend...

Saturday we went to the mall and spent hours there walking around, visiting the stores, and finding great deals. Surprisingly enough we bought mostly clothes for me :O I know, shocking... how did she let this happen?! Well, I was looking for something to wear and I realized most of the things in my closet have been in my closet for about 10 years. That's pretty sad. It's a common Mommy problem. We neglect ourselves and buy for the kids or the hubby. So, I got a couple sweaters and a pair of boots :) I also found some great deals on maternity clothes! Vita, I'll be shipping them probably by tomorrow (along with a few other things). I hope you like them! If not, sell them or something and buy better stuff haha ;)





Sunday the boys let us sleep until 11... seriously... no idea how that happened. It was splendiferous. It was nice and sunny outside so we let the boys get dirty for awhile. I took pictures of local birds. Josh played with his new macbook. Brennan looked on from the playpen. He's just dying to walk! We only had to wear light coats because it was pretty warm. And now... it's snowing. It reminds me of Ohio! I guess "mountain effect" is very similar to "lake effect" when it comes to winter weather. It will be a better backdrop for me to get pics of birds at least :)







I took some videos of normal playroom antics from the lil' bits a few days ago. Uploading to youtube now! Check the sidebar... if it's working finally. It's been glitchy lately. Annoying. Adios! Time to do the dishes :/

That's awesome! I am sooo excited to be getting myself some new clothes too. I have been wearing Mark's old shirts and my yoga pants around the house, lol. We haven't had anywhere to go anyways though...so for now it doesn't matter. I'm glad Josh is back and you guys are having fun family time again! Yay!

Allie Update

Though I have been depressed, life is trudging on. I had my 7mo baby appointment and everything is right on track. I'm 28wks and 5 days along. My belly is a whopping 29cm. I didn't get any guff about losing a little weight. My blood pressure wasn't high this time. My sugar test came back normal. I've got a little sciatica so the doc gave me some stretches to try out. She also suggested I finally cash in those 2 prenatal massage certificates I got for my birthday. Other than that, everything looks good. Noah got to press the button to find the baby's heartbeat. He loves this doctor, she always includes him. My friend Brandon, kind soul that he is, showed up yesterday to mow my lawn. He didn't just mow, though. He brought all his own equipment, including gas... he edged and weed whacked and blew all the clippings away. He went over the lawn twice so that everything would be mulched up pretty well. I couldn't believe how nice my yard looked. I

Victim Triangle

Image
Thought I would share this on here since I've shared it with at least 3 people individually at this point.  I've been working on  establishing and maintaining healthy personal boundaries  so any instance in my life where I have unhealthy boundaries have been really obvious.  Still not great at dealing with those instances, but I'm getting better all the time.  While I'm working, this keeps popping up at different times to illustrate my inter/intra-personal communication cycles that need to be broken. https://www.karpmandramatriangle.com/ The hardest part for me has been recovering from taking responsibility for everyone's emotional state.  I would feel immense pressure to involve myself in other peoples' triangles, thinking I had to play the mediator role.  I would get intense feelings of anxiety, thinking about their expectations of me to fix their relationship... or feel it was my duty to point out if I saw an issue (without ever being asked or expected

Enough Planning, More Doing

I've been researching, reading about, diving into, writing about, and thinking about building confidence and self-trust for about 8 years now. It's time to get more intentional and active about it. I think I'm ready to move into that phase finally. I have a tendency to take in information and keep mulling it over, writing and expounding upon this that and the other, but now it's time for an actual plan. An action plan. I understand the problem as much as I can from the outside looking in. Now it's time to create learning opportunities: to make mistakes and deal with the consequences or to achieve something and deal with the praise. That's the next phase of learning... doing . So today I am creating a specific list of tasks that I have to do in the months ahead that specifically target insecurities and seek to force me to deal with the reality of those insecurities. The goal is to be able to build resilience  by proving my old voices wrong with a stack of accompl
