Why hello there? Have we met before? Oh its just been so long I've seem to forgotten! :) Mr. P's week long trips turned into month long trips- good thing he's trust worthy otherwise I'd thought he'd skipped out on us! ;) Rough at first, getting better, still teary eyed once in a while.
Enough of that, what's a girl to do when her husband leaves and the money freeze is pulled off the table ala, "your not home to tell me what not so spend anyways." SEARCH through e-v-e-r-y isle in target, hob lob, Micheal's, and sometimes the walmartz.
This also includes but is not limited to, lists. TO DO, NEED, WANT, CRAFTS. Do you also have the overwhelming urge to get things done when you realize you get to cross off an item on the list? Ahh, feel it with me. *Sigh* Yes.
I started organizing, we have too many DVDs/Games etc. and well, I decided to put them in mini CD cases.. voila` Separate by genre and your set. Now instead of 3 drawers of movies we barely watch, we have one drawer with 5 cases. Love it. I'd show pictures, and will but when I moved everything around, it threw me off and now I cant find where I put my camera..Brilliant idea Momma, I knew where it was in the clutter!
I used one of those handy over the door shoe holder for my bathroom to hold my curling irons and my blow dryer. Handy! And it's see through so I can see the little bobby pins I have hiding on the bottom. Those suckers get lost all over the place otherwise! I got one for my closet for the shoes too, might as well use it for what its made for! What else what else? Oh, photo boxes for the hallway closet for items such as(but not limited to.. :)..) Sun block, camera stuff (yet the cameras not in there..hmm?) Meds, stockpile crap-o-la... and more.. but well you get the jist.
I also cleaned the carpets and ALMOST finished my kitchen! You'd be so proud! There's a glitch in the dining room floor though, I can't handle it- it must be fixed before I show you. But be ready! It's cute, and perfect. It's me ala kitchen.
Oh and guess who turns 1 next week wed! LB2 Shes so amazing! I can't believe I don't have an infant anymore :( I even got her a big girl car seat yesterday. Shh, don't let me think about it, then I'll want another and well, with MR.P gone, that'd be kinda hard to explain if he came back and I had a bun in the oven! :) I kid I kid.
This is way over the limit for lengthwise. Sorry! I'm just excited to get back into the game! :)

Hard times..
Hope my one reader out there you all enjoyed the video of the fam- and I didn't scare you off!
This week has been pretty tough to say the least. Friday Mr. P came home with some not so fun news, his job was sending him out of town. His new gig would be Sunday-Friday late nightish. That's a long time away from each other. Considering I work Friday nights, and will be home after he goes to bed, and then, again I work Saturday mornings. We will officially see each other from 3:00pm Saturday to 3:00pm Sunday. It breaks my heart.
It's only Tuesday and I hate it. It's hard enough being a Mom with a Dad around, and now. I feel like I don't know what hit me. Single Moms out there- this is to you, you're amazing!
So since I'm down in the dumps- I might not be around for a while, it's no fun blogging while I've got the blues. I'm sure by next week I'll throw myself into projects though to stay in the happy mode.
<3 thanks for listening!

2009, Hello love.
Hope you all had a wonderful NYE. On this side of the mitten, we ate a wonderful dinner using a giftcard from Christmas. Went home and watched Sex and the City movie..love it. And of course watched the ball drop fell asleep. Yep, that's me. Old and boring! :) Lets review 2008 for fun.
My highlights.
Obviously LB2 being born! Almost exactly a year ago! *Tear*
Painting my living room the last, and best color choice.
Going on a second honeymoon to the Dominican.
Turning 21- I finally became a big girl. I have a mortgage, 2 children, 401k and now can order a drink at dinner. Score.
Re-doing my kitchen, even if its rolling into 2009, it's magical.
Finding out who my real friends are. I'm glad.
Now for 2009.. I'm a girl who likes her lists. I've written, and re-written my resolutions over and over this past week. But I'm excited for them. Something to plan for right? I enjoy that- too much.
Promise to myself.
Lose 40 20 pounds of baby weight I still have around my middle.. yuck.30 25 lets be realistic here,
Teach LB1 to read. She already can read her name so we've got our starting point.
Take the love bugs to Disney- pay with cash.
Pay of our never ending credit card debt- granted this probably will take longer than a year, but I have to try.
Divorce is not an option. Not that we've considered it, but reminding myself that we're in this for the long run. Now is not the time to get too comfortable and forget about each others feelings. This also falls into the next one...
One date night a month, no children. Just us- reminding eachother of why we love one another. Awe cute huh? :)
Stay organized. Think, plastic bins, labels... are you getting that butterfly feeling like me? Love it!
That's all for now, I'll probably write them over and over again and again. But it's a start. What are your NYRessolutions?
