Crazy days!

Well, life is ridiculous crazy and stress filled. Not all bad stress, just a lot of it!

I did it and got a job! I know there are so many moms who go back to work when the babe is just 6 weeks and I'm soooo lucky to have been able to stay home with Reese bug for almost 8 months, but oh my goodness am I nervous! AH! I'm excited to be in the field doing what I love again, but I'm so nervous about how I'm going to balance everything. But, if the hubs and I work as a TEAM it'll flow just fine.

We move into our new house next week. The building we live in has been for sale and there's no way it will sell, but our landlords have decided they don't want to be landlords anymore. It's too much of a "hassle". Which is mind boggling, since they haven't been around since July to mow the lawn and they don't fix anything. We do. And the fact that we fixed this whole place up and painted it and what not. Oh well, it's done and we're moving to a nicer little house that is "Reese friendly" and very homey feeling. I'm very exciting. But, I didn't even take into account that my first work week is also the week we move! I'm crazy! Aaaaaaand the holidays are coming up so I want to get settled quickly so we can decorate and get all ready for Reese's first Christmas :) I'm SO excited!

We're also doing Christmas morning with Andre's parents and sister at our house this year. It'll be hectic since we'll just be settling in, but I'm excited to share all these holiday traditions with Reese :)

Ok, this is my last week as a stay at home mom and I have tons to do! I'll post photos of the new house once we're settled!

'Til next time :)

Being Haunted

We all have have memories we would give anything to relive again and again. But what about the ones we wish we could erase from our mind? They say everything happens for a reason, and i try and believe that to get me through times that aren't explainable, but...is it true? About everything?

We have days where the past pops up in our mind, and we try and ignore it, but don't we have to face our ghosts? Does it make us stronger people by not being conquered by these thoughts? If we "overcome" them? Or are we just being weaker by our version of "overcoming" is ignoring them?

I guess some things are just swept under a rug, whether they're secrets we keep deep down inside and never share them with anyone, or if we share them once, just to "share the burden" of them and we never speak of them again.

My mind is going a million miles a minute today. If bad things happen to make us stronger, how much stronger can good people get?....

"Nothing fixes a thing so intensely in the memory as the wish to forget it. "
