Whoa! It's been over a month since my last post. Pathetic? yes.
I've been a bit preoccupied with work and life and the family and havent really had any ammo with which to write.
This past weekend we went on vacation to Orange Beach and even though it was only 4 days, it was a much needed reprieve from the everyday hum-drum. With an almost-7-month-old, 4 days is the perfect amount of time. We did nothing but eat, watch TV, and play on the beach or in the pool @ our condo. It was great! Bebe, as it turns out, is NOT a fan of waves. Water is ok, but waves...well, waves bring on tears and screaming.
Anyway, after this little mini-break, I think I'm recharged enough to last me for a while. I would have enjoyed one more day off just to do whatever around the house, but I guess that's what I'll be doing this Friday since we have the day off (paid, mind you).
I think in the weeks leading up to our trip, I made a little bit of progress on the pity-party front. I'm learning to not wake up and dread the days. I'm not whining come Sunday b/c tomorrow's Monday. I'm learning to just deal with the days and the conflicts and the annoyances as they come. I'm not completely healed from being stupid, but it's a work in progress. Progress that's been a long time coming..27 1/2 years in the making actually. This is actually a really big deal for me. Say your prayers that I keep it up and maybe my disposition will improve slightly.
Next up: how to NOT talk so much. That's gonna be a tough one....
