Update

Our past week:

We finished packing up our stuff last Thursday and Friday morning and headed off to Dallas... Lance in a Budget truck bigger than he wanted and me, my mom, and the girls in the car. The drive was uneventful, thankfully, and we arrived in one piece. Friday night and Saturday were spent unpacking, grocery shopping, and settling in. Lance and I did get to go to a relaxing dinner with the Greens while they were in town and we were glad to have a grandma babysitter :)

Sunday we attended our new ward. I had mixed feelings as I was over looked in Relief Society as a new sister. I guess I just wanted to be recognized :) The R.S. President did come talk to me afterwards though. Beth was one of three in nursery, which is a change for her, and did pretty well after she was given her blankie (not something I condone in nursery but I was willing to make an exception this week). We didn't have any Mothers Day lessons either, which I was disappointed about. Because of the move we really didn't have time or the energy to think about Mothers Day (although I did manage to get my mom something :) and Lance and I decided that our anniversary was going to be completely overlooked. Lance did make us dinner that night but then had to focus on his upcoming "first day" on the job the next day. Needless to say the day wasn't as I had hoped... but not a surprise. I hate combining special occasions in one day because I want to fit too much in.... this year that was NOT the problem.

Monday was lovely and my mom and I decided to take the girls to the Dallas Zoo. It was perfect weather and we had a nice time. Of course the big animal exhibit was closed for the day because an elephant died while were were there. We picked Lance up from work uptown and drove 40 minutes to enjoy COSTA VIDA!!!!! It was glorious ! I was feeling car sick as we got there (headache and tummy ache) but I managed to squeeze down a salad:)

Tuesday we really just hung around. I did laundry and vacuumed. My mom played with the girls. I felt sick most of the day again. I was looking forward to meeting Lance for dinner (another fancy law firm dinner) but at the last minute we decided I wouldn't make it on time anyways (I would have had to take a cab... Lance drives the car everyday). Even though that was a disappointment I did get to spend my mom's last night at home with her... watching American Idol (Go David!)

I was up at 5:40 am to take my mom to the airport Wednesday morning. It was raining (which fit my mood because my mom had just left) and continued to do so throughout the day. I STILL didn't feel good and so Beth, Izzy, and I just moped around the house all day long waiting for Lance to get home.

Thursday we walked to Goodwill and Walgreens to "get out of the house". We don't have the car so if we want to go somewhere we walk!Luckily we live on a vary busy, but very popular street, so there are things within walking distance. We got some books and I got a cute new purse/bag. If there is anything that can uplift me it's shopping!It was nice to have Lance home before 7 this time and we finally got to spend a couple hours together.

Friday is finally here. I am sitting here waiting for Beth to come downstairs and tell me she is awake. I am listening to "something" scury around upstairs in the laundry room (mice???) and wondering how in the world I am going to fill this day. I don't have anything to work on (all my stuff is packed), and I don't need to clean or organize anything. The sun is shining though so I think we will take a walk.

Needless to say I have had a hard week. Because I have no one to complain to you, as my reader, get to hear my cons of the week.
1- Lance isn't home as much as he used to be (I know we all struggle when our husbands are actually out of school and working... no more time together)
2- My disposal doesn't work (this is a problem only housewives can appreciate)
3- I don't have a car during the day and we all get stir crazy
4- I have MICE in my house
5- I still don't feel very good (No... I'm not pregnant!)
6- Because I am wallowing in self pity my attitude isn't where it should be...

Ok- there it is... the story of my week.
I haven't taken many pictures this week to post but I will take some of our new apartment and post again soon...
Please keep posting your lives...at this point it is the only connection to the outside world I have :)
