WOW!

It's been a crazy busy week. Miss Ashlyn turned 11 this week. I know it's true, but at the same time it just seems too ridiculous to be real. It can't be 11 years already... could it????

I think things have finally quieted down for the moment. Dinner dishes are done. Laundry in the dryer. Husband lounging in the tub. Kiddo in the other room watching something produced by Disney and Momma's on her laptop ALONE with her big ole dawg. It's nice to have some alone time. Some "nobody needs me at this second" time.

Hopefully this week will be a little less hectic. I haven't been doing really well in the taking-care-of-myself department. Gotta do better on that.

Sometimes you just have to...

... take a break from the routine and just focus on taking care of yourself. Get out of your own way and just go with the flow instead of fighting the current tooth & nail.

This is that time for me. I've been kicking and screaming and just making no progress, so I'm giving myself a break from the norm and just chilling out.

Simon's Cat in 'The Box'

This is SO my cat! :D

I'm pretty proud of myself...

So we went to the Delta Fair today. In the past, the Fair equaled a food-free-for-all. Today, I did really good. I had a Italian sausage sandwich with peppers and onions, a Diet Coke, and a sugar free snow cone. I rock! :D
