Here's to a new begining...

It’s been a rocky road the last little bit, nothing particular has happened.  Though working weird hours and having hardly any energy has thrown things off for me.  I haven’t been doing any crafts or a whole lot of cooking.  About the only thing that I have been doing is going to sleep around 3am and sleeping in.  During this time I have started reading a book and it’s a page turner.  It’s sad to know that the only energy that I have had had allowed me to read.  One Monday I started walking on the treadmill again and hoping that will help build some energy and maybe stop me from being so worn out and lazy.  I’m looking forward to brighter days filled with movement and lots of smiles.

My Girly Girl has been playing softball and only has two more games left of the season.  Thank goodness I’ve been able to go and enjoy watching her play.  I also got the pleasure of taking their softball pictures, which I am thankful for.  I truly love capturing life through my camera lens.  Here are a couple of pictures…hope you enjoy.

Reading...Softball...Date Night...

Reading is something that I truly enjoy, though I do not find as much time to do so.  Maybe I should say that I get busy with other things and just don’t pick up a book.  Last year about this time, my husband to be bought me one of my favorite gadgets.  He got me the Nook Color and let’s just say that I love it so much.  I’ve always been one that loves holding a book and knowing that I’ll have it years to come.  With that said, I love the Nook Color because it keeps my place and I can even highlight right down to the word of where to start reading again.  People will always have something to say, but I am a lover of books and therefore I can either go to a bookstore or just hop online to buy a copy for my Nook.  Right now I am reading a physical book and loving it.  It’s by one of my favorite authors Nicholas Sparks.  If I’m holding my Nook or a book, if I can get lost in a good story line then I’m as happy as a lark.

My Girly Girl has started playing Spring Softball, and so far her team has won both games played.  She has a love hate relationship with softball; I just want her to have fun.  Due to her Mom making her play, she is on her first team with kid pitch.  This is her 4^th year playing softball but she doesn’t really care to play, though her Mom thinks she needs to.  Her Daddy & I support her but we just want her to be happy and have a good time.  Here’s to hoping that she gets better and actually learns to like playing.

Saturday night my husband and I had a date night.  That is something that we try to do but sometimes it just doesn’t work out.  He surprised me by calling and asking if I wanted to do dinner and a movie.  Sometimes the little things mean the most, and make me love him even more.  I’m extremely thankful to have him as my husband!

Here's To A New Day...

So here I am…sitting at home alone and wondering where all my energy has gone.  It’s been a while since I’ve felt like my chipper spunky self, granted I’ve had fleeting moments but not anything that has stuck around.  It’s been something that has been bothering me, but I’ve not known what is wrong and causing my lack of all the time happiness.  The only thing that I’ve been able to come up with is that I have not been exercising and eating right.  I know that healthy eating does make me feel better but I’ve just been telling myself that once I feel better then I’ll start eating right and working out again.  To be honest, I’ve not been able to really feel better and I think it is that I’ve been eating junk and not moving as much as I know makes me feel good.  With that said I am turning a new leaf and I’m going to start moving more and eating better.  Plus I’m working and don’t want to spend all day in bed just to get up and go to work, I want active days filled with smiles and feeling good.  Here’s to me starting fresh and going to make a big difference!

T…G…I…F….

Today is Friday and I have to work tonight, which I’m looking forward to.  Life has taken over and I’ve been busy living it.  With Spring now upon us, I’ve been enjoying lots of sunlight on my skin.  Though with Spring comes storms and lots of rain, the rain is very welcome but I hope the storms are mild.  Last weekend I was able to spend some quality time with a dear friend and I enjoyed it.  Tomorrow we have a mini girl’s day planned, going to the Women’s Expo and then we will be grabbing lunch.  Speaking of rain and storms, it just started raining and I can hear thunder.  Good thing that I got about thirty minutes in the sun earlier and now I feel energized for work tonight. My girly girl begins spring break today after school and we are planning on going camping some next week & weekend.  Just got to nail down the location and get everything together.  Though with work, there will be some camping with work mixed in with it.  Hope all is well in the world and everyone has a wonderful weekend.

M...I...A...

Wow…I’ve been missing in action…actually I’ve been super busy and haven’t had much time for myself.  After starting a new job, trying to get things in order with a new schedule; trying to find a balance has been hard.  My home life and work life are both fine and maybe sometime soon I’ll be back on track posting…please bear with me.  By the way, this month marked six months of being married to a man that I truly love…woohoo…go us!

My Brooms ARE Standing...

I have seen something about a broom standing for a couple of days now and finally saw a youtube video this morning.  After seeing a girl balance her broom and it standing, it peaked my interest and off I went to try it.

Not really sure why…but two of my brooms are standing…when normally I place them up against a wall and all they want to do is fall to the floor…thanks FaceBook for giving me something to wonder about…lol…Happy Hump Day.

First Table Tonight...

It’s been a week of trying to get adjusted, and I’m still trying to get a routine going.  Working at night has changed my sleeping habits & energy level.  I’m thankful to be working again and glad that I’m doing something I’ve not done in a long time, but I’ve got to get a routine down and fast.  Last night was my last night of training & tonight I get my own table which means I start getting tips. Needless to say I’m super excited and a little nervous also; I know I’ll do just fine.
