In a funky mood I guess...

I want to get away...I wanna fly away....yeah, yeah yeah. Craig and I have never really taken a vacation together. We went to Nashville for our honeymoon because we only had three days before we moved all my stuff to Illinois. I have to say I was totally jealous when my friends started getting married and were going to Cancun and Jamaica for a week. To rectify the situation my in-laws are being total saints and watching our kids for us so we can go away on an actual VACATION!!! We are going on a cruise!!! You seriously have no idea how big of a deal this is! I am sooooo stoked!!!

That being said; this couldn't have come at a better time. I am coming close to hitting my proverbial wall as far as energy goes. I have so many things on my plate right now and so I'm forgetting other things and it makes me feel horrible. I was late wishing my nephew a Happy Birthday, I forgot to take Rianna home after Arsenal on Sunday and the list goes on and on. I don't like being forgetful...I SERIOUSLY DON'T LIKE IT!!! Between raising two young children, keeping my house in order, spending time with my husband, youth and everything that goes along with it, Mary Kay, family and friend duties and big church responsibilities...I can't keep it all together! I'm running on empty and I NEED A VACATION!!!

You know what I want? I want a day to just stay in bed ALL DAY!!! That would be freaking amazing! I would also like a massage but that's not as important as a day in bed. I just need something to take the edge off of life right now. It's not bad, I'm not depressed and life is good...I'M JUST TIRED!!!

Only 3 months till the cruise...

What a week!!!

So this week has been um...well...not so good in the weight loss department. I craved sweets like a mad man and totally gave in everytime. I am back on the wagon today and so far so good. I'm starting to love Coke Zero again - which is a HUGE deal! Now it's time to get back on the exercise wagon again. I will say, I really do miss Jazzercise. When my kids are in school during the day I am soooo totally starting back. For now TurboJam will have to hold me over until then.

I'm also not as gung ho about Mary Kay anymore. After being involved with their products for a couple months now I really don't see much difference between their products and getting stuff at Wal-Mart. I know there are people who would gasp if they heard me say this but I feel it's the truth. It's hard to really sell someone something that you don't wholeheartedly believe in. At least that's the way it is with me. I will say that the makeup at Sephora is alot higher quality than Mary Kay in my humble opinion. Mary Kay foundation is the real deal though. I'm very pleased with it. I'm not a big fan of their eyeshadows or think their mascera is all that. Their skin care system broke my face out for a long time so I quit using it. That's what started my downfall in the Mary Kay business.

Anyway, Craig is repainting the playroom. We are changing it from the dark maroon it was when we bought the house to a cheery sunshine yellow. Hopefully it will change the mood of the room. We are also painting a wall in our "den" red along with the dining area. I'm excited to start putting our own touches to this house. It makes it feel more like ours than someone else's. Craig's parents are going to help us put the bathroom in the den back in working order. I'm really excited about that!

I can't think of anything else to write about so I'll sign off...
