This blogging thing

Well, I have tried this blogging thing before and it has never seemed to work out for me so much. I think I will try it again, but don't be too hard on me if it doesn't work out, because I'm pretty sure It won't be a long term thing!

I just spend some time reading my old blog that I started writing about three years ago. It didn't last very long, but it looked like I had fun when I did it. It was nice to be able to read about what was going on in my life at that point and time and read little stories about the girls that I have since forgotten.

I guess I will update you a little bit. It is August 15th 2011 and I have been without a vehicle pretty much all summer. My car broke down at the beginning of June. We were fortunate enough to buy a van the weekend before the girls 5th and 6th birthdays (yes I said it 5th and 6th birthdays, my where has the time gone?). Things were great for the week of the girls birthdays, we both had a vehicle! Well Nathan woke up that Monday morning to go to work and his car wouldn't start! Yup, right back to square one. He has been working so much that he hasn't had much time to figure out what is wrong with the car. He has tried this that and the other, but to no avail. But he thinks he has *finally* figured it out. I picked up the parts on Saturday and hopefully he will have time this week to get it fixed so I can finally have my van to myself! I'm so super stoked to have a van by the way, yes I know I'm a lame mom, but oh well I love it!

I sprained my ankle Saturday (yesterday) afternoon just before I was about to go to work. I stepped out on the porch with a box and rolled my ankle and fell all the way down. I couldn't get up for a few minutes. It hurt like the dickens. So I called work and told them I probably wouldn't be able to make it. Nathan thought we should go to Urgent Care, so we did. We brought the girls to Tony and Trish's for a couple hours when we went. I got xrays and nothing is broken, thankfully. They gave me an air cast and crutches. I felt like such a ding bat with the crutches and felt like they were completely unnecessary, but realized later in the day that I was actually very thankful for them because they did help a great deal. I have been walking on and off on the crutches today, but I should still probably be using them all the time. My ankle is still in pain and pretty swollen. I have a photo shoot Wednesday evening, and I'm really hoping that I don't have to postpone it. :/

Life is a blur. Time moves so fast, yet so slow. It's hard to explain. I need to be more motivated to get things done. I have all of these goals and projects for the house, but my laziness (and daily housework) just gets in the way of actually getting anything extra accomplished. One day I will get these things done, but I will have a whole other list of things that I will want done by then! Oh well, I guess that's what makes life interesting!

I feel bad that I haven't been able to get the girls together with any friends this summer. We have only been to the beach a handful of times and blueberry picking a couple of times and that's pretty much it for during the week day activities. They have been to Nana and Papa's (Tony and Trish's house) quite often this summer, but only when Nathan and I are working. I wish I could spend more FUN time with them instead of just being in the house all the time. We are having a friend come over for a sleep over Tuesday evening! I haven't told the girls just yet, just in case something happens (I hate telling them one thing and then something changes and they get disappointed). I know they will be so excited for her to come though! They had a BLAST playing and talking with her at their birthday party and I can't wait to hear all the girly giggles. :)

I have been staying up too late and sleeping in too late a lot. I just can't seem to break the cycle. I mean it's 2 am and I'm wide awake, but when it's 10 am it feels like I'm a zombie! Coffee really doesn't work too well for me. It just gives me the shakes and makes me feel sick. I think I may start taking some melatonin around 9 pm and seeing how that treats me, because this just isn't normal.

Well, I think I have rambled on enough about things. I tend to do that a LOT on blogs, but I guess that is what it is here for right? riiiiggghhhht :)I think I will share my blog on facebook, but not just yet. I'm going to blog a few times to see if I actually enjoy doing it. Also I'm going to see if I can get an app for blogger to make blog posts and include pictres from my phone. :) Yup, that's what I'm going to do.

Signing off. Much love.
