This & That...My Silly Life

Yes I know I am so slack, it's been over 4 months since my last post :(  I noticed that the whole blogger site has changed since I have been gone so I guess I will have to figure out how to navigate all the newness.

I have a good reason for my lack of posting.  I found out in January I was pregnant with our first child, so to say the least I have been tired and my bed time has become super early which doesn't leave much time for blogging.  We have also had very busy weekends for the past few months and time has seemed to just disappear!  So we are super excited to be welcoming a baby boy to our family in September.

Pregnancy has been good to me so far.  My main complaint is just being tired.  By the time I get through the work day, get home and fix dinner and go for my daily walk I am pooped.  I have been lucky not to have any morning sickness or complications so far so everything is great.  I am 25 weeks and 3 days and it is flying by.  Before I know it he will grace us with his presence and our lives will change forever.

So I am going to try to do a little better and blog more often.  I don't know how that will work out, but we shall see.  As for now I am fixing to straighten up the house and get ready for bed!

When you really think about it, there is not much time in a day.  Especially a week day.  By the time you work, and get home how much time do you really have left?  For me it I guess it's about 6 hours (5-11).  I think it's crazy that we spend the majority of our days working and sleeping...it's sad  :( 

So how can you manage to get things done in this measly 6 hours?  Well if your me this is what it turns into...cooking dinner, cleaning, trying to get in exercise and some relaxation.  6 hours may seem like a good amount of time, but really it is never enough.  Everyday I feel like I don't get enough accomplished.  Like most people I am tired when I get off work and who feels like doing all this stuff once they have worked all day.  Still day after day I have to put in the effort.

This week I have been having a tough time.  Since tax season is here I spent one night doing our taxes, last night I started on my sisters taxes and tonight I finished them.  I have managed to cook dinner every night this week, but the exercise has fell to the wayside.  I managed to get 20 minutes in on my bike today (WOW)...it's something I guess.  I look at the clock and now it's 10:00!!!  I still need to go clean up from dinner and pick up the living room and of course I have to watch my favorite show Revenge.

It's crazy how much we are expected or need to get done in a days time....at least for us folks who have to work a job every day!

It's Monday and that's about all I can say about that!  My day was chaotic, meaning I went to work this morning and the bottom fell out and I was stuck in the middle of some upset folks.  Finally after lunch everything had settled down and was taken care of and I actually got started on my work.

On the upside our W-2's were available online today which is AWESOME!  Even though I didn't feel like it this evening I came home and got to work on our taxes.  We usually always get a refund, and with the replacement of those coils I had my fingers crossed we would get a refund.  I always do our taxes.  I took personal and business tax classes in school so it comes easy to me =)  Our taxes are a little time consuming since we itemize deductions, but I managed to get our State and Federal completed and filed in about 2.5 hours...I double check everything 100 times!!!

So while I done our taxes Mark cooked me a yummy dinner :)  I wanted breakfast for supper so Mark cooked eggs, sausage, toast and grits.  I LOVE when I don't have to cook dinner!!!  So even though my day started out sucky I am feeling great because our taxes are done, we are getting a little refund and now I am relaxing for the rest of the night and watching the Bachelor.

I need to get my exercise in but my brain is exhausted so I will resort to the couch for the evening.  Have a great night everyone...
