Wow, time is really flying by fast now. Even with going away parties and my replacement starting this past week at work, I am not sure it’s really hit me yet. I am excited and nervous about the new adventure in Chicago. I think once I have my last day at work and my boys have their last […]
Getting ready for the move…
On of my besties gave me this really cool good luck charm. I might just wear it around my neck if I need to (back up plan). I am going to really miss the great people I have gotten to know here in Omaha. My family and I have only lived here for about 17 months, but I […]
Week one of work out challenge
It was a success! I already have so much more energy. I know it’s only been a week, but I know I can maintain this. If I can train for a marathon, I can definitely manage to squeeze in 30 minute work outs. It might be a little tricky with the upcoming move, but I know I will […]
Enjoy the little moments
Sometimes I just sit back and absorb the little moments when everyone is happy and laughing. If you don’t, you might by accident see a shoe flying at your face and forget that everyone was happy a second ago. My oldest dropped a shoe down the stairs yesterday and it landed on my face. He didn’t aim for […]
Food for thought…
This is a good way to think about stress. I think this statement below will help me as my family and I prepare for our move. No, I don’t like moving and yes it is stressful. I guess I can be happy that this is a short term stress.
Time to relax
I actually managed to lounge for five whole minutes today on a hammock at work. It seemed like an eternity, but it was amazing. Checked that off my bucket list.We live in a “busy” world, but I decided I could manage those five minutes. Maybe I will do that more often. I think the world would be a […]
Stop and appreciate
Sometimes you just need to take a breather and appreciate all of the wonderful things you having gone on in your life. It is so easy to get swept away in to do list or waiting to get responses back from people. I am taking a quick walk at work. I really am so lucky to have such […]
Don’t forget about yourself
I saw this image on Facebook, and it is a great reminder. When I went back to work seven months ago, I was so consumed with balancing all of the change of moving to a new city, worrying about my boys (even the biggest boy getting used to his new job) adjusting to a whole new work environment […]
Lessons Learned
The last few months have been pretty intense. This move to Omaha has been filled with ups and downs. I have learned some pretty important life lessons. I’ll say the most important ones have been the hardest ones to learn/accept. I have learned that change happens, and that worrying and stressing about it really doesn’t add value. I […]
Happy Thanksgiving
I have a lot to be thankful for this year. It has been a year of change so far, life hasn’t been perfect or always easy, but my family and I are happy and healthy. Jackson just had tubes in today and it went well. I am going to try to start blogging more often. Life has been […]
