Weekly Highs & Lows
We haven't done this in a while - anything good/bad for the week first week of the year?
Re: Weekly Highs & Lows
Highs: figured out earlier this week that we have most of the next three months free and should be at home!
-done with work training and feel like I'm getting into the swing of things
-making a list of stuff we need to do around the house before we sell - excited!
Lows: serious lack of sleep. I feel like a zombie today. This weekend we're doing some serious sleep training with Cooper
- I'm having a hard time getting back into the swing of dieting. Ugh.
Lows: Getting a flat on my Jeep. Because it's a 4WD and the other tires are so worn, I can't replace one tire. I need to buy four tires that we weren't prepared to buy right now.
Highs: I'll have new tires for the winter, if we ever get any snow.
Lows: I've had the feeling that I'm getting a cold all week. Really run down and tired..
Highs: Got back on track to eating better and I can already tell I'm headed the right direction. Work is really busy. Not normal for January, but I'll take it!
Lows: My sisters dog (who lived with me for a few years) ruptured a disk yesterday and she is paralyzed. Exploring options now.
Highs: My BIL got a promotion in the Army TODAY, he is now Sergeant First Class!
Highs: My sweet girl turned 5 on Wednesday and the cupcakes I made her class were a hit, even if they only sort of turned out like the pic on Pinterest, lol.
DH got tickets at face value for the Texans game on Saturday and is ecstatic.
Lows: Already posted in SA but 3 colleagues I care about very much (including my boss and my mentor) lost immediate family members in the last few days; a mother died after a horrible battle with cancer, a father was late in life but but had a brain hemmorhage and died within days, and my mentor's step-daughter (in college) was killed in a car accident last night.

had dinner with a gf i hadn't seen in months .
lows: my back hurts ! and my little brother (a marine) went back to cali yesterday so i'm sad to see him go. overall though a good week.
High: found out that even though I have to repost for my job, they are not downgrading the salary grade.
Low: Work is ridiculously busy, and I had to give up a half day of vacation today just to keep my head above water for Monday.
Highs...

Having fun planning Ls 2nd bday party
Down 12.5 lbs since early/mid-December
Put in 15+ miles on the treadmill so far this week

The December credit card bill came in. Ouch.
It has been really difficult getting L back into her nighttime/naptime routine since we got back from Indy.
Our oven broke halfway but we're trying to limp a long until next month.

Lows: this morning having a major pity party / major anxiety thinking that my job ends this month and I don't know how we're going to manage. The only daycare I like in town not having opening in case I can get a job soon. The job market sucking.
Highs: Right after my pity party the phone rang and I have an interview Monday! A business contact called and has some work from home work for me in March, so that seems promising short term. Praying things keep moving in the right direction.

Looking at our anniv. trip and getting excited about having time away from everything.
Lows-Tyler is getting one of his last back teeth in and has the runs and a low grade fever.
Worried about my sister and her current job situation.
