Been Awhile..I'm still here
I know it has been a couple of weeks since I last posted - been very busy. We were on vacation last week visiting E's parents in Arizona. It was so nice to be away from the normal routine of home, work, home, etc. and to just not really care what time of day it was. We did alot in that week's time with his parents as well with my nieces in Vegas, but in the end it is nice to come home again. Two things I missed most during that time were our 2 kitties and our own bed. It isn't that I don't sleep well while we are away, but as I am getting older (never thought this way in my 20's/30's) I do miss the familiar comfort of my own stuff. As far as the kitties go, we have always been this way with our pets...missing them so. We know they are in very good hands, but we are such hands-on pet owners that it is our own selfish need that we have to full. I can't begin to tell you how many times during the trip E and I looked at one another and said "we miss the kitties".
Getting back into my work routine was alittle tough this week. The 2 hour time difference definitely throw off my schedule...going to bed later and then trying to get my ASS out of bed when the alarm goes off for work...UGH. Arizona would not be a choice of places I wish to live...much too HOT during the months of late May - September. When we left last Sunday, the temps were going into the 115! I am sorry that is just too damn HOT (and don't get me started on the "but it is DRY heat")...115 is 115...hot hot sun! Everyone just stays indoors from 10 a.m. - 5-6 p.m. - not my kind of living where I am forced by the weather to stay inside all the time. My in-laws literally don't go outside much during those hours, they make most of their appts. for very early in the morning. Next trip out there, we will be definitely considering the months of either November or March/April...nice temps then in the 70's to low 80's and lots of things to do outside (fairs, flea markets, etc.)
E's birthday is tomorrow...45! It is hard to believe that he is only 5 years away from 50. Where has the time gone and why do I feel like it is just going too fast lately and I want to turn back time? I guess with everything that has happened in last couple of months, I have come to the conclusion that that my time has run out on motherhood. I haven't change my mind on moving forward, but I just wish so hard I could take more time to clearly think things through and then move forward - which sadly I don't. If only things could have been different...it would have truly been a miracle baby!
