1 more week!

We are officially down to 7 days until daddy is home. Unfortunately those 7 days consist of 3 weeks worth of homework, packing for Disneyland, trying to get the house back in order after all this kid playing this week, and deciding rather or not to enroll Kolby in pre-K or not. Stressed is an understatement. Needless to say, we are soooo excited!!! I need to start packing this weekend, I don't know if we have enough luggage!

On a personal note, I am officially 45 pounds down. I can't wait to surprise the honey! I have been keeping it on the down low on Facebook and on the phone so he should be surprised :) I still have a bit to go but hopefully before Christmas I will be down to my pre-Kolby weight. On that note, it's off to the gym for me. As soon as I learn how to post pictures I will, just for Tera!

What was I thinking?

As if my husband's arrival in two weeks isn't an emotional roller coaster in itself, I thought it would be a good idea to plan a family vacation for two days after he gets home to California. Furthermore, to keep myself occupied until he gets here (Lord knows Kolby and Konyr don't occupy me at all) I have accepted the task of babysitting a 1yr old and a 6yr old for the next week and a half. Which reminds me, I really should look into a rehab facility, clearly my crack smoking is out of control lately! On a good note, I am in the last week of my class (only to start another on Monday) and consistently rocking a 98% :D

Although, it sounds like a whole bunch of craziness, the boys always bring me back to reality. Nothing in the world matters when they are playing together, when Kolby comes to me and says, "Mommy I hold you like a baby?!" or when Konyr insists on unplugging the vacuum and attempting to plug it back in on his own. Over the next two weeks, with countless deep breaths, we will focus on the joy and excitement that comes with welcoming daddy home and take everything else in stride :) Happy week y'all!

Here goes nothing...

Finally, I have accepted there will never be enough time to do half the things I wish to. However, this does not make for a very good excuse. So here I am. Keeping friends and family updated on our little family and what is keeping us busy.
