I'm tired :P

It's been a long week work-wise and for some reason I'm just extremely tired!! Sydni had a field trip to the zoo today with her summer camp, so we were out the door early this morning. Dylan just wanted me to "turn around and go back home." Poor kid, he's ready for the weekend!

Had a meeting with the mortgage broker today, which I was very nervous about. It went well. No additional information needed from me, we just wait until closing and they do all the behind the scenes stuff :) Works for me!

Not sure what we will do tonight, if were up to me, NOTHING, but I know the kids will probably want to get outside if it's not raining. We shall see. I should probably get the house in order to begin the HUGE job of packing tomorrow. Ugh, I fear that I'll get started and then end up with crap everywhere and more unorganized than I was to begin with! Such is life, I suppose.

single motherhood

So, being the nice wife I am, my hubby is on a boys fishing trip, left Wed and won't be back until Sun afternoon. So far the kids have been pretty good and things are under control.

I do have to say that I don't envy single parents. Not that all single parents choose to be that, I just know that for me, it would be VERY hard to do all the time. I love my children dearly, but man, they can drive me bonkers sometimes!!

I had a very stressful day at work today and I really tried not to let that flow over into my evening with the kids. I explained that mommy was really tired and that we needed to have a quiet evening watching a movie or something similar. They are now both laying on a pallet on the living room floor watching a Blues Clues movie :)

I'm enjoying the peace and quiet, watching House Hunters on HGTV, which dh HATES btw, and about to read a little bit.

Tomorrow I am meeting with the mortgage company to finalize the information for our loan, so I'm kind of nervous about that....I'm sure I'm just being pessimistic, but I always feel like something will go wrong and that this house is just too good to be true. Corny, I know, but that's me!! Anyway, I'll update tomorrow after I meet with them. We close on 8/8, so that's about 5 wks away...it will definitely be here before I know it. I'm going to start packing this weekend...blech!

My first post

I've thought about starting a blog before and I think this will be a good way for me to get the words/thoughts that flow freely (sometimes it's just rambling :) through my head and share some of my bright and not-so-bright with anyone who cares to read them....or just for me to reflect on.

I am a working mom of 2 kids, Sydni (5 1/2) and Dylan (almost 4). My husband also works and we have a very busy fulfilled life. We feel very blessed to have healthy, happy (most of the time) kids.

We are in the process of building our first home and that is exciting, nerve-wracking, and scary at the same time! I'm sure there will be days that I wish we hadn't decided to do this because I am NOT looking forward to moving, but I know it will be worth it in the end :)
