...and everything in between.
Today I’m starting a new series that I’d like to do each week called Life Lately. This will be just random tidbits about what is going on in life. There’s always things I’d like to share, but more times than not, it’s not enough to write an entire post on. I thought doing it this way will hopefully encourage me to share those little things that usually get left unsaid. Or sometimes it may have things mentioned that will be an intro into a longer post later.
This month I was happy about: getting to have some free evenings with nothing to do.
This month I was sad about: drama going on with part of my family.
Something I accomplished this month was: having to go to the ER. *sarcasm*

Something I accomplished this month was: getting used to working like normal people.
Well, we’re all home again today for another “Snow Day.” However, it’s 45 degrees and sunny out! Back at the end of January, we were all home for 3 days because of real snow and ice. Here’s a few pics after much of the snow and ice had already begun to melt.
This month I was happy about: was that we got some snow!!

This month I was happy about: Rob starting his new job a few days ago.
This month I was sad about: random stupid stuff.
Something I accomplished this month was: starting to eat healthy again. Hoping I can keep up with it now and not let a slip up ruin my whole plan.
I really hate when life and all it’s problems start to get to me. When I get that feeling that I swallowed a 10 lb. dumbbell, my fingers start to ache, and nervousness rushes through me from my head down to my toes. It’s just not a good feeling. I can handle a lot, but it seems like circumstances, many of which are not in my control, just keep getting shoveled on top of me one after another. Just when I think I can push my way through it all and get back on my feet, one more heaping pile is added and I’m thrown back down on my back again only to have to dig my way back through hoping to make it out this time. All of this sucks the joy right out of me. Now these things could be worse, I realize this, but I was just sitting here thinking. I love this time of year, or at least I used to.
This month I was happy about: Rob’s job offer (post coming soon).
This month I was sad about: this continued anxiety/depression that Alex is going through.
Something I accomplished this month was: finally getting the rest of our Wild, Wild West Trip posts done!
This past weekend we were able to take advantage of Labor Day weekend as Rob’s cousin threw a “non-funeral” birthday celebration for her Dad, Rob’s Uncle Frank. Since Drew was marching during halftime Friday night and didn’t want to leave after halftime we elected to get up at before the Rooster’s Call and get on the road early Saturday morning.
This month I was happy about: new possibilities in our family’s near future.
This month I was sad about: Alex going through this separation anxiety since school has started and I’m back to my regular schedule. 🙁
Something I accomplished this month was: switching cellphone carriers.
This month I was happy about: 2 vacations!
This month I was sad about: coming back from said vacations.
Something I accomplished this month was: not a whole lot.
This was the 2nd year that our BSA district participated in the Auburn City Fest. Rob was in charge of the “ScoutFest” again this year.
