Another Rainy Day in Seattle

It seriously rains too much in this side of Washington.  I come from Spokane where it rains, but it has currently been raining ALL WEEK here. And it won't ever stop. I may have to invest in some rain boots eventually.

So what do I do with two little boys on a rainy day?

Until 11am I tried just playing with them and watching Nick Jr, but that quickly got boring.  So i decided to spend some time at the bestie's house, and let them run around there.

That should make them sleep good tonight ;)

I got to go to the gym again today but have decided to alter my workouts.  I have been having knee pains in my right knee so walking on the treadmill is all the cardio I can do.

Can we say BORING??

I am going to take a week off from running so I heal properly, then it is on!!!

Now I am home waiting to escape into the shower (the only time mommy can get away from the kids lol) and try to figure out what to make for dinner.

Tonight's activities will include time with a friend and brownies. It should be amazing! I guess a rainy day (or several) is not bad afterall :)

Until next time…

The Good Ol Single Days

Can I just say I am very thankful I'm married??
Back in the day I remember having my own apartment, and partying with my friend at the airforce base.
My days would consist of getting up at noon and taking my sweet time to do everything.
That's no longer the case :)
Thankfully, I now have to wake up at 730 or 8, fix breakfast for two little monsters, and start on laundry. I am now in charge of my family and making sure my hubby is ready for work each day.
Although my single days were a lot simpler and less complicated, I wouldn't trade my life today for anything!!
I know I may complain about laundry or dishes, and heck some days I wanna change my name to anything but Mom Lol:)
I just think about some of my friends in the dating world, and that just gives me anxiety thinking of everything involving dating!!
Making sure you look perfect, thinking of conversation, and wondering if he will call the next day....I'm just over that :)
I am thankful for my little family, and everything that comes with it. I hope all my single lady friends find that man to put a ring on it (as Beyonce would say haha)!!!!
I wouldn't trade this for the world !!
Until next time...

Back in the Working World??

So I had an interview today.  This is big since I haven't been focusing on jobs lately.  I have been enjoying my time with the little guys, and focusing on my schoolwork.  This is how it happened.

I go online to see what is available on post, and notice there are 4 openings at the only Starbucks here.

HOLY CRAP YAY!!!

So I apply, thinking I won't even get a call back because there are probably many Army wives who have seen this and have applied so my chances will be slim.

That was YESTERDAY.

I get a call this morning for an interview today at 230!!! That was pretty quick!

I get there a little early, and we go in and the interview flies by.  I am unsure if I officially got the job, but she said she will call once the background check comes back.

So I guess I got it??

Well, either way I know I did my best, and what is meant to be will be!

Until next time….

Sunday Television!!!

Tonight is probably the one night I look forward to in the world of television.  I don't mean to sound cliche, but Army Wives has to be one of the BEST shows out there.

And just for the record, I watched it before I became an Army wife LOL!!

I also like the show Sister Wives.  I mean, I am all against having multiple wives, but the show is like a bad accident, I just have to keep watching it!! It is really interesting to me to see how these people are living!

Finally, I am a lover of the show Coming Home.  It is the one where they show soldiers coming home after being deployed. UGH tear jerker every time.

But I really hate the host…just saying :)

Now, I also must report that I have ZERO homework tonight. This is BIG news.  I haven't had a Sunday without homework in I don't know how long.  It is so weird to be able to actually watch my shows when they come on, and sit here wondering what I will do with all my time tonight!!!

I guess this means I should bake some protein cookies with my girls!! Good excuse to use my lovely Kitchen Aid mixer!!!

Until next time!!!

Facebook Taking Over the World??

Does anyone else see how much Facebook has taken over this place?  I don't know about you, but I have seen many people always checking it constantly, as though they are going to miss something super important in their newsfeed.
What ever happened to talking to people??
Nowadays, instead of people talking to people they simply say, "Facebook me".

REALLY?!?!

Gone are the days when we call people or actually sit down with people face to face to have conversations I guess.
I am all for technology, and I do enjoy my Facebook time. But I think people need to sit back and realize that there are ACTUAL people out there who want to have conversations that are not through IM :)

Other than that, and gas prices making me mad, I have had a really good few days.
I have been on a baking kick lately and it has been very fun to do with my girlfriends.

Last time we baked some peanut butter and jelly bars….they were a good concept, just not my favorite snack.

I am taking any suggestions on healthy baking recipes anyone has because I am still trying to loose a few pounds.

And I have a bodybuilder husband.. ;)
Until next time…

Workout From HECK!!!

Today I had a workout from hell.  Can I just suggest that taking two days off from the couch to 5k program is not recommended??? I did my Nike Training Club just fine, then about halfway into my run I thought I was going to pass out!! 

Ugh,

So I had to stop, then get back on and just walk.  Lame!! I have never felt like that ever in my life, so it was a mystery to me!! Hopefully that never happens again!

On another note, I am soooooo stinkin happy that my classes for the last block are over.  I actually finished my finals EARLY, so now I just have ONE class until I graduate!!!

This is huge for me!!

I hope my friends and family plan a huge party for me….just sayin! 

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  I was lucky enough to enjoy these fabulous cake pops and blueberry crumb bars one of my girlfriends made.

Here is a vision of my amazing heaven I had:

Now I just need to plan something to bake that is a little healthier hehe ;)

Until next time…

Needing a Start Over Button!!

Have you ever felt like going back to bed after waking up, just to start the day over? I am having one of those days!!
My life continues to get stressful, especially since my first degree is upon me and I feel like I'm not getting as much support as I deserve or need right now
An old friend called me childish and selfish, and I'm wondering if I am truly like that? I get easily irritable and I feel like right now I should be getting the care, support, and respect I'm giving to all of my family and friends.
So I woke up this morning and it has all festered inside me until now. Hence the wish to go back to bed to start things over ;)
Maybe precious friends and boyfriends were right. I am selfish.
But we all are right?
Keeping one's needs over others is not the answer, but finding that balance between needing support and being selfish is necessary.
And I will continue to work on that!
Until next time...
