A hint of an update with a side of me time

okay....okay...I am well aware that this is long over due and I realize I could list at least a million things that have changed since my last post, but instead of boring everyone to tears I will just stick to the highlights. The two main (and most important) things that have happened are I quit my job and we moved....well technically I quit my job because we moved I didn't really just up and decide to quit my job one day (thought about it many times however)....anyway the real life changer was the fact that we moved....like a real move not just a change of house move that we have done so many times before....but a complete 4 hour away...change of location...I don't know where a single thing is move. My incredibly sweet great grandma passed away this summer and my family and I were blessed enough to get to move into her house. Now this house is a house that my grandpa and dad built pretty much by them selves about 40 or so years ago...so it is the only house I have ever known my grandma to live...I spent summers coming out here to see her so it is incredible to be able to have my girls out here....plus my grandpa and grandma are my neighbors which is pretty cool if you ask me. Those facts, however, did not change the fact that when we got here I knew no one and I literally had to GPS Walmart....so the girls and I spent the summer attempting to get out of the house and find things and meet people....and since I didn't know anyone that also meant that they didn't know anyone and were forced to play with each other so I also spent the majority of my summer trying not to kill both of them :-) But....just as quick as it started...summer ended...except this year when school started something exceptionally amazing in the world of motherhood happened.....BOTH of my children went!!! So there I was a stay at home mama again only this time I found myself with this incredibly strange thing called free time. Seven entire hours a day to try to decide how to spend....now I do still have the never ending chores that come with being a mom and running a household and blah...blah...and most days that is how I spend said free time....but believe me I am not entirely crazy...some days I do absolutely nothing (and try really hard not to feel bad about it)....and some days like today I have a selfish day and go get a massage and facial...now I am pretty positive if you were to ask the husband he would say stuff like that is a waste of money....but if you were to ask me (and lets be honest I am the one who counts) stuff like that....days like today....a little piece of sanity in this crazy world of motherhood....is worth every single penny.
