Wow seems funny how time just
flies.
Hubby and I had a wonderful
time away. Something that we certainly
need to do more often. Just talking,
taking small walks, just enjoying our surroundings, just enjoying each other. It was only for two days but it was great,
definitely too short.
With that said, I told hubby
that I really want more. More time
together, just doing simple things. See,
hubby is not one for going out, even just for a ride to a near by place. I tell him it doesn’t have to be going out
for dinner, just even the mall, just to the park, just something. I just get tired being home most of the time
by myself. He works on the weekends and
works long hours. I do feel for him but
I also tell him there is more in life than just work and home. I just told him today before I left for
church again of how I feel. He said possibly
in a couple of weeks, he will try to get off at least one day during the
weekend. I guess I just have to wait
and see.
One thing that is keeping me
busy is that my future daughter in law express about doing something special
for my son. He will be 30 in September,
so with that we are planning a surprise 30th birthday party here at
my house for the end of September. Of
course it is just several weeks before my daughter’s wedding, nothing can be spaced
out of course. But all in all it is
good. I certainly hope we can pull it
off surprising him. So with that there
is a lot of cleaning and prepping to be done.
Still haven’t figure out the menu, but in time will do.
Finally went back to TOPS on Thursday
and I have gained. So bummed out about
it. I know what I have done but trying
to get out of this funk is hard. I seem
to be losing focus on me. Also I just
haven’t been feeling well. Not saying
that I am real sick or ill but just not myself lately. Just been tired, slightly achy, so I have
been going to bed a bit earlier than usual. Not interested in anything. Can’t seem to get myself up and going.
Sometimes I wonder if this maybe a slight depression setting in?
Yesterday I went for my first
fitting for my dress for the wedding. I
also saw earrings that match perfectly with the dress, so I bought them. The only thing I have left to get are my shoes,
which I need by September 21, that is my second fitting.
After church I went to see my
dad. I am so happy that he is in much
better spirits these days. It just makes
it better to go see him. He still has a
great appetite, so I brought him a small breakfast sandwich and coffee. He enjoyed it very much.
Trying a new recipe tonight.
It is a taco casserole. Ground meat with
taco seasoning, Mexican shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, lettuce and crushed Doritos. Once heated just serve with some sour
cream. Going to try to avoid most of the
Doritos and have very little sour cream.
With it I may have a salad with it.
Hopefully it will be good.
The weather has been
wonderful the last couple of days.
Absolutely gorgeous. Maybe that
is why I am a little down. Beautiful
weather and no where to go. That is
possibly the reason.
Not much more to say.
Hope everyone has a good
Sunday.
Until later…………………
Welcome back! Glad that you and your hubby had a great time. I know the feeling of being stuck at home in the nice weather with no where to go and nobody to do it with. Especially when the weather is nice, if it raining its not so bad. Seems like everyone has their own thing going on. Life is too short to watch from the sidelines, so I commend you on telling your hubby that you'd like to spend more time. I got out for a walk and some fresh air today and it helped.
ReplyDeleteThe taco casserole sounds good, maybe ill make it one of these days minus the chips.
Love the idea of the surprise party!
Happy to hear you had a nice time with your hubby. My mom really struggles sometimes because my dad doesn't like to go out and do things either. I don't think it is something that will ever change, but God has brought other people in to her life that she has so much fun with. She's actually vacationing in Germany as we speak! I'm sorry you're struggling a little bit, I am right there with you. I'll be praying for both of us. The new recipe sounds fantastic! Let me know what you think of it!
ReplyDeleteThe taco casserole was pretty good, one thing though we (hubby and I) really don't eat beef that often. Once we were done we both agreed that it was a heavy meal and that next time I may change it from ground beef to ground turkey.
DeleteOther than that it was very easy to make,very quick and quite tasty.
I love Mexican. That sounds really good. You know I have been checking out youtube videos a lot lately. They have a lot of great inspiring stories on there.
