Sunday Snippet!

So apparently finding time to blog is a bit difficult when your husband is out of town.  Jon got home yesterday and Addy and I survived our 7 days on our own!  It actually wasn't too bad.  That might have something to do with the fact that I had something planned for almost every minute of the day so we weren't sitting at home.

I felt like superwoman the day I took Addy to moscow to pick up my secretary's desk and then perused the mall for an hour and a half.  I treated myself to Qdoba to reward myself for that bit of bravery.  I also will confess that I spent over $100 in the mall in that short time (and some of it I had to steal from other budget category envelopes!).

I realized I spend much more money when Jon is out of town.  Oops.  I even decided that I'm going to start buying Fiesta Ware dishes and started my collection.  I am starting with Scarlet, Sunflower, and Lemongrass. I am not buying the sets though cause I don't want the mugs.

Addy and I also went to the gym every single day.  That gave me an hour long bit of "me time" during the day, and Addy loves it there, so I didn't feel the slightest bit guilty.

My mom came over Friday and stayed till today, so she helped me survive the last 24 hours of time.  The hardest part for me was just feeling pretty unproductive.  Normally I get "stuff" done when Jon is home, either first thing in the morning, or when he gets home from work.  I could have used time after Addy went to bed, but that time of day all I wanted to do was sit and relax watching mindless TV, or peruse Facebook.

Thanks to all my friends who reached out to me over the past week.  Addy and I went to the aquatic center for the first time with friends, took coffee to some friends, visited a pool with some friends.  It really helped the time go by!
