My parents left yesterday morning. I was very sad. :( Here's how the day went...
Mom & Dad were up at 4 AM to head out the door by 5 AM. This is how I looked yesterday morning at 4:30 AM (minus the coffee cup):
I was so sad to see mom & dad pull out and drive away, but I was tired enough that about two minutes after they left, I looked like this:
I got up around 8 AM and went to work and, thankfully, I only had one moment in the evening where I looked like this (I was by myself, so no one witnessed the meltdown, thank goodness):
It's always great to have mom & dad here. I'm so sad that we live so far apart from each other (my fault!), but I'm so glad that they take time to come and see me!! I always love their visits and am sad to see them go. I am doing much better today and feel more like my normal self again, thank goodness. So, I'll be glad for the memories and I'll just look forward to the day when we live closer to each other again. :)
We had a great time while they were here, but we really didn't do much of anything except shop and take a road excursion through the mountains. Other than that, we just rested and relaxed. It was nice! I'm glad that they can come here and just relax like that. It didn't help, either, that it was SO hot while they were here!! We're not big fans of hot weather, so most times we ended up feeling like we didn't want to do anything except stay in front of the fans! haha! But we enjoyed our time together and had fun. I love them very much! :)
All for now!!
I'm sorry that I've become such a terrible blogger. I had been thinking about giving up blogging, but I don't think I will for now. I just might not post as often. Every week, though, I'm plagued by, "Oh, I should probably blog this week!!" so please don't think that I never think about blogging! haha! :)
My mom flies here this Tuesday and I'm very excited about that. I'll get her all to myself until Father's Day and then Dad will pull into town that day. They'll both be here together for about a week and will head back to WI after that. So I'm not sure how much blogging I'll do during their visit, but we'll see. Of course, after they leave, I'll probably need about two weeks off of blogging just so I can go through my regular bout of depression after parting ways with them. haha! Oh, I imagine it won't be that bad, but you get the point...I love seeing them and am always sad to see them go!
Work has kept me extremely busy for quite some time now. I know that I posted that same song at the beginning of May, but it's true. As I mentioned before, we've been short-staffed since early March so I've been the only full-time person in the office (usually there's two full-time and one part-time person) and it sure does take a toll on a person. I feel worn out and tired all the time! And it doesn't help that I want to "take care" of everything and that I just worry about so many things in the office that need to be done. I think that is what wears me out the most even though I really DO try to "let it go" at the end of the day and on the weekends. But it's amazing how it just wears you down. And for it to be like this week after week after week...well, I'm afraid it puts me in quite a foul mood most of the time. *sigh* I am so glad that I have a job and that I like my job (really! I do!), so I don't want to complain about it too much. It just can't be perfect all the time, can it? :)
But, on the flip side, I'm so glad for good times with friends on the weekends and in the evenings. It helps me to keep my perspective and to relax, too. It's especially great because it usually involves a LOT of laughter and that is always a good de-stresser for a person!!! : )
So, I'm sorry, again, for being such a bad blogger. I realize that it's been a month since my last post, but it honestly feels like it went by in just a blink of the eye. With everything going on in the month of June, I'm sure that will happen to me again. I guess in June I'll just try my best to live IN the moment and to ENJOY each moment and I will let you know all about how it went as soon as I can!! :) Until then, take care!
