It's been a somewhat busy week. I started working out more consistently this week with the help of my wonderful husband. It's so much easier to get motivated when you have someone else with you.
Ed and I have been talking with the bank to see if we can qualify for another mortgage. And YAY we can! We have been super busy getting our house "ready" to go on the market. (Isn't it funny how some projects only get finished when you want to move) We ordered a new roof which will get started on Thursday, we spent Friday removing SIX bags of trash from the house. I couldn't believe we had so much junk. You will just have to trust that we are sooo not hoarders. After we complete a couple other small to dos we will list our home.
Ed and I have also been out shopping for a new home. When I say new what I really mean is dilapidated, moldy, maybe even have had a fire, kind of home. As long as the house looks sturdy, it could be our "dream home". Ed and I love renovation, and the price tag that goes with a home that needs it usually fits our budget.
Aidan was spiderman for halloween. He was so excited to go out to trick-or-treat! Towards the end of the night he looked into his bag and said, "I think I have enough candy. Can we go home?" What kid out there says "that's enough" when it comes to candy?
Anyway, this was my week. No items checked off the list, but we had a really good week.

I love B-12
Here's the update. When I said I was bummed and in a funk on my last post I was really minimizing what was really going on. I was trying to focus on being positive and glossing over all of my true feelings. The truth is I was just down right depressed. I would be in the car driving and suddenly burst into tears. Not because of a sad song, sad thought, something someone said or did, but for no reason at all. Every day I was feeling more and more down when I told Ed, "I think I need a therapist." If you know my husband than you know that he is totally supportive in everything I do, but my feeling so sad made him feel really bad. Aidan was always asking me if I was happy and in trying to be a good mom I would smile and say "of course I'm happy." After a while Aidan said "Mommy, please don't be sad." That's when I knew I needed to get help.
I was all set to find a therapist when my sister told me that on Monday nights our wonderful local Health Foods Unlimited has a doctor come in to administer vitamin shots.She was going to get a B-12 shot and asked if I wanted to go with her. I hadn't been taking vitamins lately (because of pure laziness) so I decided to go. We stood in a line that was longer than I expected, (because really who wants to get a shot?), when it was finally our turn. We got the last two shots that the doc had of the Classic B-12 2x. BTW the shot doesn't go into the arm like I had thought. I really didn't expect much from the shot, but the very next day I felt so much better. I no longer feel like crying, I have more energy, and am looking forward to life again. Could Tom Cruise be right? Do we really just need to take vitamins?
If you are depressed, you should totally seek professional help, but it wouldn't hurt to take your vitamins.

Gettin' Funky
I have been in a bit of a funk lately. Ok for the past couple months. I don't know why, but I've become extremely complacent. It's not because I'm completely comfortable either. There is an internal uneasiness that is a new constant.
I took a full-time job a couple of months ago working for a builder. I really do enjoy my job. I like to help people create their dream home and realize that Yes they can afford it! There are some drawbacks to the job. Sitting in a model home all alone can make me feel just a little creeped out and even my boss agrees that the hours stink. Because I now work on the weekends my family and I have not been to church in more time than I care to admit. There haven't been any search parties sent out from church so I guess no one has really noticed. Maybe I need to find a new church?
If you read my blog and are wondering about my progress with my list you are going to be sorely disappointed. I haven't completed anything. I even gave up running months ago and need to start all over again. If you are currently running do not stop. Starting over is sooo hard!! I started just exercising again last week. I only got two days in before the start of a nagging cold hit. Not the kind that is full blown and has you on the couch with tissues and tea, but the kind that makes you feel cruddy but able to still go to work. The kind that you feel any day now is going to take you out.
Aidan has been adjusting to kindergarten and my new work schedule. I love seeing him waiting for me at the door when I come home from work. This makes me happy:)
I'm not going to lie and tell you that I'm more motivated than ever to do everything I need to do to check off the list. I'm not. I am going to be honest about everything that is happening. I'll let you know what happens next week. Hopefully my gelatinous muscles will not hurt too bad to type!
