I have chosen to update my blog. One thing I have learned about being a working mom is that I am very lucky if I exercise 2 days a week. You heard me, my current goal is to do 2 days a week...and, I am failing?!? The girl who used to run hours in a day, is not even running an hour a week. Oh well, I'll chose this life over that one any day.
Not too much going on in our lives. We are trying to get new carpet put down, however Lowe's is making it hard on us. Who knew that when they said in 5 business days that they actually meant 22. Silly me!?! Of course, Todd wants me to cancel the order and take our business elsewhere...but, that means I would have to load up the child on Saturday and spend my free time picking out carpet...again! After the 3 trips and 4 hours I spent in Lowe's surveying everyone that went by on which one they thought would look the best, AND be good for a 1 year old and a dog, I finally made a decision. I do not want to do that again...so, I'll just wait my 22 days.
I made an impromptu trip "home" (aka the delta) last weekend. Bert and fam decided to go see our granddad in Cleveland, so I hated to pass up the opportunity to see them. It was a nice day trip. Todd is happy because my last 2 trips, I haven't come back begging to move. Yes, ever since Presley was born, I just wanted to move home. Todd did not agree. But, he just listened to me whine and cry after every trip. But, now, I have changed my mind. It's nice and all, and I wouldn't mind the move, but I'm feeling a bit more content here so I think I'll stay put...for now.
We are planning our first summer vacation in 2 years. We are headed to Destin the week of Labor Day. We are still debating over taking Presley or not. Here are my thoughts. A couple that lives down the street and has a baby girl (just a few months) are going to be there, too. So, we could take Presley and trade nights in and out, one couple keeping the babies, then maybe girls out one night, boys, etc. I know she would like the beach...but, she'd like anywhere, for that matter. I just can't decide?!? I know I will miss her like crazy, but it also won't be a total "vacation" with her. We obviously won't take her skiing this winter, so in that respect, I want to take her on this trip. AARRGGHH! You see where my head is. I just can't make a decision. Any recommendations are welcome!
I guess I'll wrap things up and go tidy up before bed. Here are some pics.

any trip with a kid is not a vacation...it's just a re-location. that being said, re-locations can be fun...sometimes a change a scenery does everybody good!!
I think if you went without her you would regret not taking her with the friends being there with there little one. And like you said, ya'll could take turns baby sitting to have a night out. Sounds good to me.
We took lilli and had a great time. If she is as content as Lilli is anywhere she goes than it will be fun. Of course it is not going to be like the vacations you used to take. And anyway you would miss her so much!!
well you know what I want you to do being THAT friend that lives down the street and all :)
