In a funk

I am in a big funk right now and I can't seem to get out of it. It is affecting my home life, work life and everything life. I am so sensitive. I don't think I have ever been like this before.

Don't get me wrong I love my life and husband. But, I feel like I need a break. I want to climb in my bed and sleep for 24 hours. I am so sensitive that my dad almost made me cry the other day. All he said to me was "Don't come over without your son ever again." That's all and I started tearing up. What is wrong with me?

How do you get out of your funk??

New Job?

I interviewed this week for a new job. The interview process scares me and I hate doing it!! But, I went anyways. It would be in Cardiac Rehab (basically someone has to die/retire for a job to open up). There is a part-time 20 hours a week job. It sounds amazing. As always there are pros and cons.

Pros- DAYS, no more nights, guaranteed hours, fun work, able to become full time later in life, different work, could be the job of my dreams

Cons- LESS MONEY, no more flexibility in taking time off, have to get day care for 2 half days, LESS MONEY. When I say less money I mean like a double digit an hour less amount.

I have been struggle with what to do. I think it is my dream nursing job but I am hesitant to take such a pay cut. It wouldn't be as bad but I would also need daycare.

Please say a quick prayer that I will make the right decision.

Pressure for Baby 2

Lately it seems that everyone is always asking when are you going to have another baby?

Even Rob who told me numerous times I don't want another baby has been asking me when we will have another. Or saying if I could guarantee you a girl would you have another.

Well the answer to that is I don't know. I am not ready to have 2 kids yet. I love just having Lincoln to worry about. And he is a handful. There are still things I want to do with my husband.

I told him after we (me and the hubby) take a vacation we can have another one. I don't mean a weekend trip. I am talking about Alaska or another Sandals resort.

Am I being selfish?? Am I depriving Lincoln of having a brother or sister close in age?

Renovation update















After Before






We are still working on our family room. Insulation is up and siding is also going up. The best part in doing this has been pouring my own sweat into it. I have helped out so much and learned to use so many new tools.

Lincoln 16 months

Lincoln is getting so big so fast. At his 15 month check up he was 34.75 inches tall and weighed in at 28.2 lbs. Everyone gives me a funny look when I tell them how old he is.
-He is running and jumping on chairs.
-climbing on furniture
-Flushing the toilet. He does it all the time
-Has 11 teeth. And he brushes them all the time
-He can say mama, dada, pudding, jello, yogurt, cooper, ball, hockey, cup, water, pop,snack, more, please, ice. But, you have to coax him to say words.
-He wants to file and have his fingers and toes painted
-Still loves playing with balls.
-Gets bit up like crazy by mosquitoes.
-Loves the pool and slide.
-Runs to the door when Rob comes home from work screaming daddy!
And the other day he was watching tv. Actually, he was watching the words go by on the bottom of sportscenter. He was trying to figure out where the words came from and were going.

I love this little baby.

Lincoln's Head!!!

Rob shaved Lincolns head! I was shocked and sad to see all his hair gone. I don't like it!! Where did all my beautiful babies toe-head blonde hair go to??? He now looks like a little boy.



Family Room Renovation part 2

Ok we busted our butts this weekend and I am sore and tired. I got the lovely job of picking up all the bricks to the fireplace. 2 days later they are done!! I was also able to hlep Rob frame in a window and tyvex the house. I love helping him out but I get so sick of being the fetcher of tools. Oh well. He thanked me for all my help and I have the blisters to prove it!
