Productive
So I have been busy shopping and setting up house...lol! Sounds so funny since we have lived her over a year now and am just now getting things for the house that we have been wanting. I love it. And right now without having the boys' daycare fees we can actually afford to get a few things that are much needed...like actual dressers for the boys instead of the plastic ones that suck!
I have actually finally accomplished getting more pictures on the walls. Bringing in some little things to decorate the bathrooms. We are planning an outing to IKEA next weekend to get some sitting chairs and the boys their dressers. I am also trying to get an entertainment center but seem to be running into the expensive ones that I love but am nowhere near able to afford. I get all excited to see them then look at the tag and get sad again...lol. I've been checking almost everywhere in Columbus, I have even ventured to check out Ebay but the ones I like are so dang far away and not exactly in places I plan to go anytime soon...including Michigan. I'll just keep checking around.
I have still got to do something with my room though...I need a dresser seriously bad...I am hoping to get a chest that both Julian and I can use vs us using the 2 that we have. Mine is literally falling apart. The bottom of the drawers have all started to cave in and prevent me from even going in the drawers. Pain in the ass let me tell you!
Julian and I have been walking or doing the walking video at least 5 days a week. I can tell that my shape is changing but the damn scale hasn't really gone down. Which is rather frustrating but whatever. As long as the clothes fit differently. When I look at myself in the mirror before jumping in the shower or just getting out of it I still look lumpy and am seriously contemplating having a tummy tuck someday. That baby sack that I have left over is gross and the stretchmarks aren't any better. And the stomach I have is so weird shaped. I'm just glad it is shrinking slowly but surely.
I am going to be doing a drastic haircut before leaving to pick the boys up. I am donating the hair that is cut to "LOCKS OF LOVE". My grandma had cancer and when she lost all her hair she felt naked. We had all offered to shave our head so she wouldn't be the "oddball" of the family and of course she told me if I ever shaved my head she would be so mad. This way I am donating to a great cause. We had tried getting her a wig but it looked so fake and the ones that are made of real hair were so much money. This company buys them and donates them to children/adults that have lost all their hair. It is definately a giveback to my grandma in a way that I couldn't do before. I know she would be proud.
I miss my boys immensly. They have been gone now for a little over 2 weeks. I don't call them everyday like I want because everytime I do Gabriel is like "What now Mom?" Oh but when Daddy calls he is all excited. I am a little hurt by that. I am much cooler than Dad is dangit! Diego gets excited but when I hear him chatting I start to cry because I miss them so much. Gabriel is doing great there. Going on adventures and such with his cousins. Diego is still adjusting the comings and goings of family that come to visit. But I know he is in good hands but I miss him all the same. I only call on the weekends and leave Julian to do the calling when he wants (way more than me!). He calls at least once a day if not more...lol. I feel a little part of me is missing without them here...it is nice to get things done but doesn't mean I don't miss them.
I was going through their closets this past weekend to get rid of some of the clothes they have either outgrown or have been thrashed. It is funny to look at the clothes and remember what we did in them. I remember activities where they were wearing them...and how much fun we had. I sat in the closet crying...it was sad and luckily Julian was downstairs because had he come up I would have been hysterical. I am getting better though. I have their pictures up here at work and I just like to stare at them and smile. My boys are the best...I am biased though! Love you boys!
