On a Mission

Nick and I are on a mission starting Monday. I want to lose 10 lbs and I'm not sure what he wants to lose, but we are going to get there. First of all I will be eating better now that I am taking a break from school, not eating late night. That is huge for me. Then we are going to do a cleanse and detox treatment from school, which should help. And we are going to work out like crazy people. So wish us luck. Maui booty here I come!

But I promise I won't let myself get to this point. Look at Lindsay Lohan. What is going on with her? She can be such a pretty girl but this is just sick and wrong. Do people really find this attractive? I mean seriously?

Summer Break

It's official. I am on a leave of absense for the summer. I still have to work out all of the details and find out when I will go back, but I am taking some time for me and for the family.

Last night I ate dinner with Nick, Ambria and Kayden. Then Nick took bear to his doggy class and I stayed home with the kids. I bathed them and decided we should play out front because it was such a gorgeous warm night. After we came in the three of us had a bowl of icecream and hung out before I put them to bed.

Several times throughout the night Ambria came up to me and hugged me and told me that she really misses me. Then she would tell me "Mommy, you are being so nice tonight". It made me feel both good and bad. I realized that even though I do try to spend some time with the kids when I come home at night, I am so tired, or so stressed that I am not much fun, or not in the best of moods. That is horrible. I miss my kids, I miss my husband and I am glad to be taking a break.

So, tomorrow begins my time off. I don't even know what to do with myself for the fact that I actually get an entire weekend off! I feel so at ease right now.

Oh, I also forgot to update on what I did to my hair. Remember how it was short, like to my chin? Not anymore. I really missed the length so I had some extensions put in. Thanks Kristy, your a doll:

Enough

I find it really hard lately to have time to blog. Well, it's actually hard to find time to do anything really, let alone blog.

School has been busy, my days are long, the family has been sick on and off for months it feels and I am tired. That about sums it up I guess.

I am so ready for summer. I have been thinking a lot lately about how I miss sleeping in Saturday mornings and hanging out with the kids. How I miss going home and night and going to bed at 8:00 because I had a long day. I just feel like right now I am so overwhelmed with everything and I could use a break.

I am in one of the last important parts of school, hair cutting. Although it's very interesting and I am learning a lot, I feel like my head is not 100% in it. That is not my style either. I always give 100% and if I feel like I'm not, then there is a problem.

I threw out an idea yesterday to Nick about possibly taking a couple of months off of school, like a leave of absence. I don't want to burn myself out, but I need to make sure that if I did do something like that it wouldn't impact my scholarship. That would not be a good thing at all. I just think if I took a couple months off, refocused myself, spent some time with my family in the nice weather, and went back when the kids go back to school, it would be nice. Give me some piece of mind.

Nick isn't so keen on the idea, but I don't think he understands completely my logic behind it. I know I have some thinking to do but I really feel like that may be a good option for me right now. I guess we will just have to wait and see.

It's Been A While

Sorry friends, family, neighbors, people I don't know who stock my blog and don't admit it (ya you, I see you on my site meter, you can't fool me), it's been a while since I have been a consistent blogger, and for that I am extremely sorry. Life is busy. GO GO GO all the time.

Ok updates. It's official, yes, I made the switch from regular coke to diet coke. It was not an easy transition, but after 3 weeks of gagging it down and covering the taste with lemon, I did it. I am proud to say, I love it, and now I can drink coke calorie free. Yeah.

School. I finished most of my backbar stuff, you know, styles, coloring, shampoo sets, perms (yes people really do still get those hidiodorous things). I am now in sassoon cutting. AMAZING. That is all I have to say about that. The man (Vidal Sassoon) is and was a genious. He makes haircutting into an architectural journey. I am just in the beginning but I love it already. Cannot wait to finish and get out on the floor and start doing some funky stuff. Hooray!

Kids are good, Nick is good, life is grande, work is great. Can't complain much at all. Easter is Sunday and we have all the kiddos, so that ought to be a good time.

What else besides the fact I don't feel like I get to see, talk to, hang out with, chat with, anybody I know ever and I am alienated from the world. Hmmm...oh trying something new with my hair. Hey, we all knew it was coming. right? I'm in hair school for hells sake.

:) I will keep you all posted.
