My life in a nutshell right now

I am so sorry I have been gone so long.  I really don't have excuses just busy.  My sleep schedule hasn't been all that great either.  Insomnia is kicking my butt.  I usually get about 4 hours of sleep a night and that is not making good productive days.  Even on the weekends I am usually up by 7.  Anyway, here's life in high's and low's.

Low's:

Elexis got sick on Thursday.  She started running a fever and her throat hurt.  Went to the doc on Friday and she tested negative for strep, flu and mono so it's just a bad sinus infection (yay)

We finally got my pug spayed.  We tried breeding her (my mom and a couple of my friends wanted little Delilah's of their own), but it never took.  It broke my heart dropping her off because she is such a happy dog.  

I think a lot of my insomnia comes from anxiety.  I need to get some stuff settled and maybe I will sleep better.

My car is officially out of warranty.  Last week, right before it rolled over to 120,000 miles, I went and had about $900 worth of work done on it.  Our extended warranty has more than paid for itself.  

I finally went to the dentist after 2 years.  I had two crowns and a filling and I go back for another filling at the end of the month.  My new dentist is super nice and so is his staff.  My family and I love him.  He even gave us a gift card to the movies and his dental assistant says he never does that.  I guess the feeling was mutual.  

High's:

Elexis is feeling much better.  So is my pug - she has way more energy.  

On Saturday morning my daughter auditioned for the Oklahoma Honor Chamber Orchestra (OCHO) and got 3rd chair in cellos.  I am sooooo soooo proud of her.  She has been preparing for this all summer.  Next audition is National Honor Chamber Orchestra...crossing our fingers.

I have finally started working on my table that I am stripping and refinishing.  All the old paint is off.  I am now cleaning it and sanding it.  I got half of it done.  I will get it done this week.   I have determination.  

I went to Disney On Ice!  I love DOI.  This is Elexis and I's 12th year going together.  Sometimes my husband joins us, but it is usually just us.  I love it.  It's a good bonding over all things Disney.  

I also stopped procrastinating on a couple of other things as well.  Yay for productivity.  Next stop: catching up on all your blogs.  Get ready to be bombarded by comments from me.  

Here are some middle's

I still haven't made a decision on schooling yet.  I am afraid it is going to be too much and I don't want to overwhelm myself.  

I have still been walking the zoo at least 3 times a week, but I need to get my butt back to the gym.  

I promise that I will start being a better blogger (I need to find another challenge).  I will start posting more on all your blogs.  I have missed all you girls though.  

How about some random pictures?

I started the 4th book.  I can't believe I didn't read these sooner.

For Lizzy - I painted my nails a holographic purple silver color.  Mine are not as good as hers though.

Dentist fun!  

Happy to have my baby back after 3 days of her being in the shop.

I hope everyone has a great week!  I can't wait to catch up with your lives!!
