I'm Back

I can't believe it has been 6 months since I last did a blog. Honestly, it didn't feel that long. Time sure has a way of getting away from you.
So many things have happened since Sept.
My dd#1 turned four. She has recently quit wetting the bed. She's so excited that she's not in night time diapers anymore. Me too.
Christmas has come and gone.
We sold our steers in the fall and just recently sold our heifers. Sometimes I wonder if having the cows is all it's cracked up to be though. We just got our income taxes done and we owe over $2000 because of our un-taxed income. It makes me want to cry.
We paid off a loan and year ahead of schedule. Whoo hoo! Now the extra money will go on the truck loan. When the hubby isn't working (due to spring breakup or something-oilfield is a touchy career) that's the loan that kicks the hell our of our finances. So maybe in under 2 years that one will be gone as well. Here's hoping.
DD#2 has gotten her big girl bed. She loves it. Now if we could just get her so she wasn't crying at night. She wakes up at least once a night and screams her head off or comes down to our room for a visit. The other night she did that 3 or 4 times, it's worse than having a newborn. I can't remember what a full, uninterrupted night of sleep feels like.
I recently joined a writer's group, there are 5 or 6 other members. I felt so invigorated after our last meeting. I was talking to adults about something other than potty training.
DD#2 is also potty trained, mostly. She still has accidents but she's not even 2 yet so I think that's pretty good.
Well, I must be off. It's night time and all is quiet. This is my writing time so I shouldn't spend too much of it here. I can't promise I'll be more faithful to my blog but I will try. Until next time take care.

what a week!

Yeah I think I kinda missed a week. Whoops. Kept meaning to catch up the next day and then the next. But somehow it just didn't happen.
My hubby went away to work again. That always sends me on the spin cycle for a day or better until I just get too busy and tired for it to bother me. Then the girls and I get into a routine and he comes home and sometimes messes it up. But it is worth it. My dd#1 is really getting where she misses him. She'll say she just doesn't care about anything but you know she's missing someone. The little one doesn't really seem to care one way or another. She just gets mad when you don't let her have the phone when he calls. She says "allo" then she just smiles and doesn't say anything else. She is only 17 months old so you know. She has taken to screaming lately, about everything. High pitched and at the top of her lungs. It is driving me absolutely nuts.
The weather is so crazy here. Last week my girls were wearing their sundresses and this week they are wearing toques. It might even snow this weekend. I am hoping not. I guess we made it to Oct better than the snow we got in August last year. But still if it didn't snow til Dec my feelings would not be hurt.
I finally joined a site for bulimics. I have been this way for so long I don't even remember when it started. All I know is I need to recover. It's getting to be hard hiding it from my girls. I've been hiding it for years but it is time to get it done with. So hopefully I can. No wrong attitude. I will accomplish what I am setting out to do. I just need to start taking a little me time. A moment to relax at the end of the day. So I'm going to go do that right now. A bath, a book and a cup of tea. Then hope to heavens that the girls sleep through the night. Good night!
