One Crazy, Beautiful Day at a Time

Wonderful Wordy Wednesday

 

"Enthusiasm is excitement with inspiration, motivation, and a pinch of creativity." -Bo Bennett

Wednesday has official become "Wordy Wednesday" here at Crazy Days.  I absolutely LOVE quotes.  They always get me thinking about my life and how great it really is despite those days where I feel like I am living in a bad re-run of "Everybody Loves Raymond".  Well, without the intrusive parents across the street (although sometimes I wish I had that problem to deal with...ok, no I take that back.  No, I don't.).

That whole quote is just a string of BEAUTIFUL words! ENTHUSIASM! EXCITEMENT! Inspiration, motivation and creativity! All those I wish would visit me on a daily basis, yet miss the bus a couple times a week.  Haha.  Know what I mean?

The Nevill Home Front is still alive and active here at Fort Sill.  Matthew is struggling with some seperation anxiety which is sort of baffling me, but we are slowly working through it.  He has been resorting to some past bad behavior and I have to admit, it catches me totally off guard.  When he does bad things that were nixed months ago, I find myself tilting my head in true dog fashion with a "huh?!" look across my face.  We have also been changing the bed sheets a lot more often due to some nighttime wetting.  I am confident this is just a phase and we will get through it so I am not putting a lot of thought into that problem.

I am back to working out hard core.  I love to excersise.  I missed it SO much during the pregnancy.  I felt so "blah" all the time.  Now I am feeling MOTIVATED to do more.  ALso back to eating healthy.  Weight Watchers plan has always worked for me (mostly because I love journaling) so I am doing that as well.  I want to start running again soon, but I need to tone up a little bit more first (flapping is SO not fun while running).

RIch is hanging in there.  He hates being so far away from family but he is very strong. Every day he constantly reminds me of how lucky we are.  We miss him SO much!

We are looking forward to July and all that it entails.  We will have a fun forth of July with friends and some great fireworks.  Maybe a night out for my birthday.  Who knows!  I am just excited to cross another month off and look at one month closer to Rich coming home.

Will post soon about some EXCITING scrapbooking news! 

Love you all!

Grrr.

I swear I am not avoiding my blog.  I read so many other blogs and then get addicted to Facebook, that I end up forgeting the purpose of sitting down to my computer to begin with. 

New scrapbook work! 

I miss that age.  Its ironic, really.  When he was that age, all I could think about was, "God, please let him get a little older so that this will be easier."  Now I look at him and I want that time back.  He doesn't need me so much anymore. 

Now he is Mr. Independent.  That is hard on a Mom!  AND instead of looking at the smaller kids toys at the store, he goes straight to things like Transformers!  This is when I need my husband the most LOL!  He handed me the toy tonight and asked me to turn it back into its vehicle shape and I had no earthly idea on how to do it!  I kept looking from the box to the mass that was in my hands.  From the outside, it probably looked like I was trying to understand Rocket Science (and in my brain it felt like it too!).  Eventually I got it to look "similar" to the box and, bless my child, he didn't notice the difference.

Guess what starts tonight!!!  YAY! I am so excited!  I love this show.  Rich will make comments while watching it with me like, "He didn't even say "Sir!"!!!", or , "That is now how that is done.".  So actually its better that he is not here to watch it with me, but doggone it if I didn't give a hoot right now about his comments.  I just wish he was home.  I can guarantee that every episode will make me cry for one reason or another; all of which will hit close to home for me, as always.

So that is it for me right now.  Going to finish up my laundry, clean up a few things, go for a walk, run through bath time, and settle in for the night.

Hope you have a great Monday!

Love always!
