Oh what to write about today. I sure don't think my life is very interesting, but it's nice to chat about it anyway. I guess because I'm still in that melancholy mood I'm not overly excited about much. Need to find something to get excited about again.

Kiddos have been enjoying the beginning of their summer break by staying at "Gramma Day Camp". My parents are staying at a campground near where we live so the kids get to go there instead of day care for the rest of the week. It's nice having family in town, and I'm glad the kids get the chance to hang out with their grandparents and have special experiences with them. However, even with them around to help out, I don't seem to take advantage of the time to myself. I always feel like my kids are my 1st responsibility and that I should be there for them as soon as possible. I know...it's all in my head, but I put being a mom as job #1.

My lunch hours at the gym just aren't long enough. I'm finding myself tiptoeing to my desk just a little later every day lately. There's always just so much I want to do, and I find that I have the energy to want to do just one more set here and there.

Over the weekend, hubby approached me with the prospect of a transfer. Now I really hate moving, but it doesn't mean I won't. It's just one of those situations where if he puts in for the transfer and does get selected, that's it...we can't later decline the offer. So, I told him let's just "throw those cards up to God and let Him sort it out for us." Meaning, I want him to follow his hopes and put in for the new job and if he is selected then we'll just have to make it work...and it will work somehow (like it always does). I'd likely quit working altogether and be a stay-at-home mom for a few more years until #2 starts school. Not that I'm fond of leaving my job; I like to work; but if forced to move, I want to be able to settle with my kids for a while and embrace the change. So, we'll see how it all plays out.

Speaking of kids, I miss them today. My daughter, who is now 17 months old, is at such a fun age. But, I feel like I don't get to spend enough time with her. I remember feeling this way when my son was her age, too. I mean, by the time I get home from work, get home, dinner, etc. I probably get a half hour with her before she needs to got to bed. I'm jealous of those care givers that get to spend so much time with her and watch her little personality unfold. My son, who is 6, well, it seems like he's always wanting more of my time...but I couldn't ask for a more loving boy. I can't wait for the end of the day when I get to hug them.

My journals are so random that I am surprised that anyone comments. I love that you love exercise so much. Hopefully that is contagious. I still have not caught the bug even though it is something I want/need to do. Your family life sounds lovely. And yes find something that is for you. Best wishes and keep up the great progress.

Are there any shows you are excited for? I know I’m excited for The Quest coming out July 31st. “The Executive Producer of The Lord of the Rings has joined forces with the creators and producers of The Amazing Race to conjure a land of magic and malevolence, where mythical creatures lurk in the woods. For 12 lucky souls, a fantastic world will come alive in a unique competition series where players will engage in epic challenges." Can you say OMG yes?!?! :D Good luck with the transfer. That seems like something you could get excited about, new job, new city, new experiences. :)

Good luck with the transfer! Sounds like if it does go through you might be able to find the bright side of it. Stay at home for a while, enjoy the kids while they're young. Maybe even manage to find you time and not feel guilty about it. I know what you mean about the gym though. It's addicting! Now it wipes me out and I feel exhausted afterwards but I miss the day of one more rep or pushing things a little bit further to see how far I can go. Plus my little man is 2. At this age they are so full of surprises. I can't fault you for wanting to spend more time with her. :)

Oh, I know what you mean, I feel so energized after my lunch time run that I want to do more but I only get a half hour break, so no luck there. And by the time I get home, the feeling is gone. Sounds like you have a plan if you do move, enjoy your kids!! And stay with FS!!

God's plan is always the best one to choose! That is how we go about deciding things as well. Also I completely understand about all you are saying about being a mom first and having a hard time leaving or letting the kids be somewhere else when there is no good reason you couldn't be taking care of them. I know this will be a controversy thing to say but in the bible it clearly states that a woman's job is in the home. I had a really hard time dealing/understanding that at first but after I laid it all in His hands I have come to find over the years that He also always provides with only my husband working and we have 6 kids.
