I have spent the last 6 weeks focusing on how happy I am going to be when this nightmare of a balancing act will be over. Sometimes I really need a kick in my pants and tell me to stop complaining. I still remember my friend Kelsey telling me when I was too negative. I need that kind of influence in my life . . . daily! Beau is sweet to listen to me complain, and lately cry. I think I am tired, but I am very grateful that I only have 8 weeks left. I am grateful that I have been able to make it this far after struggling for so long. I am grateful to be graduating in the summer to after my classes are over I will be able to camp, swim, fish, and outdoor adventure in general. I am grateful that we have been able to make it this far without killing one another. I love my husband, and I do not give him enough credit for how much he helps and takes care of me when he is busy too. Soon enough all of this will be a memory, and I look forward to moving on.
This Memorial Day weekend could not have come at a more perfect time. Beau and I worked on the bathroom, and I am excited to say it is starting to finally look like one. I wasn't sure that we would ever be able to say this, but it does. I have a light, mirror, and towel racks, which make me the happiest woman in the world. I forgot what it was like to look in the mirror in the morning as you get ready. I will post pictures when we are all done.
I am thinking about getting rid of my facebook. I find that it typically just makes me mad. I think that people are forgetting to be people. We don't call or write, we update our status. We don't share with family or friends we comment. I don't know if I want to risk becoming like that. Also, I am to the point where I really only want to status update out of pure annoyance, which I resist in order to not ruin what semblance of a kind reputation I have.
I am very thankful that I just heard my husband come home and before he even walked through the door he decided to mow the lawn. No wonder I am in love with this man :)

ReplyDeleteGood luck with the end, Joanne! You're amazing for all that juggling!
ReplyDeleteThis is Mariah. Yes I blog stalked you finding you on Kelsey's blog and I am glad I did. I feel the same way about facebook and e-mail. It drives me crazy ( I have family that won't ever call but or call me back but will facebook me-it drives me crazy) that being said.....I like blogs I think they are more intimate. So exciting you are graduating!!!!!!!!!!!
