So it's been a while since I was here last.
So much has been going on. My bro made it back from the sandbox all body parts accounted for. As soon as he touched down at a friendly base, I had the talk with the boys. I am glad I didn't tell him where he was while he was there. The oldest was very concerned and I know that he would have been for the whole tour just like the rest of the family was.

At work, surprise! The big cheese retired! Now to get the person we all want into the principal position. Hopefully that will mean less stress from the job do I can feel relaxed again.

Started boot amp in the mornings. Need to get myself kick started again. Hit a plateau and lacked motivation to push myself. Boot camp will hopefully do the pushing for me.

I have 9 weeks off and need to get things accomplished. Am going to try to finish some projects that have been hanging over my head. Have books to read. I am so far behind. I need to catch up. Most nights I just am too wound to read. Then I start to feel guilty about not reading. Ugh . Am trying to have quiet family reading time to get the children reading on their own. Also makes a little time for me to read as well. Need to read the dragon tattoo series and the hunger games series as well.

Now back to enjoying the kids. Sitting at a playground in the shade. Trying not to watch or even think about the kids over on the swings. I know it's weird but swings really give me the heebies. Even thinking about swings make me slightly nauseous. Don't know why but I HATE them. Used to love swinging as a kid but now..... Old and irrational I guess.

Until later....
