1) I'm TIRED. I haven't been getting enough sleep lately. I need to go to bed early tonight. I think my kids (one in particular) have been emotionally exhausting lately. I seriously have no motivation or energy to do work around my house (or anything else for that matter) by the time 8:45 rolls around the kids are finally in bed.
2) Last Sunday after church I was playing outside with the boys. Hunter randomly said, "Mommy, if you marry me, I will buy you a new charm for your bracelet". So cute and melts my heart. I told him if he still wants to marry me when he's 25 we can talk. If you try to explain why we can't really get married, he will get really upset and cry, so it's not worth it. My answer was satisfactory.
3) I got this award in the mail today (see below). It made my day...There were a few criteria to qualify, one being that my production with the firm was up by a certain percentage from last year. Yay. My firm doesn't have a training program and only hires established advisors, so for me to come here 8 years ago when I was only a few years into my career was a pretty neat opportunity. I would be willing to bet I'm one of the youngest advisors in the firm--most are over age 50. It made me think about how in high school I was voted "Most Likely to Marry for Money". I think that is totally hilarious and NOT true...it was a conspiracy against me. In case you wanted to know, I married Nick on sheer potential since he was a poor college student when we met. I guess it's worked out ok. Could be better. Could be worse. Ha!
4) This is probably the closest I'll ever come to a President of the United States. Obama was speaking about a mile from my office last week and I snapped a few pictures as he drove (well, was escorted) past my office. The road was closed, TONS of police cars (blocking every driveway for a ways), ambulances, etc.
What a dreary day!
5) I'm still trying to figure out what to do about my back pain. I feel so "stuck" right now. It's not painful enough for surgery, but not at a point where I could live like this forever (and without medication). I'm kind of heading down a different path and trying to stay open minded about how it will turn out. I have five dr appointments (with some new people) over the course of two weeks, so we'll see what the "plan" ends up being. It is beyond frustrating. I did meet with my surgeon on Monday morning and he thinks I should hold off on surgery too, so I was glad to hear that. He had asked to see me when he found out I was still in pain (from when I cancelled surgery a little over a year ago). I think he is the best surgeon and such a "real" person who talks to me like I'm a "real" person. I appreciate that so much. I have met with dr's in the past who have talked down to me and I just can't deal with that.
Hope you are having a good week!
