The kitchen.... the heart of most households... is not unpacked.
It is not unpacked because we have not cleaned the adhesive from the old contact paper and painted the cabinets. Nor have we painted or given everything a good scrub.
We have picked out paint- apple basket can you guess what color that is? as well as a back splash that we can intall easily (or at least thats what wendy and kerry say)
I am hoping that the rain will not dampen our enthusiasm and that sometime this weekend we could tackle the kitchen and sort out our grocery situation so that we can stop eating out so much. Maybe then the walking that I do with the dogs would help melt the fat instead of just maintaining the current weight. High hopes you know
Happy rainy day.

Taking Time
I have been away from the blog for a few days and I was taking time to comprehend my life in general. Having taken a cut in hours and having to reorganize my life has made me think about what is really important. Family, quality time, friends, simple pleasures.
It is important not to get bogged down in the foggy, bad days but really rejoice the good days. The sunny, or rainy good days that are only going to be around once. No need to sulk or wallow in sorrow of a lost routine but to be thankful of new found time to organize and enjoy activites that I formerly did not have time to enjoy. Walk the dogs, feel the breeze, sleep in, read a book, unpack our beautiful house, spend endless hours looking for my lost wallet. No need to get frustrated but continue to be proactive and know that everything is going to be okay.
So after a few rough days, I am going to enjoy my time and am looking forward to my future challenges.
I have said this is a growing up year and that is exactly what I have done.

Moving part two
We are almost done and ready to unpack the house... we have probably one more round of stuff to come over.
I had a bad day yesterday.... my hours got cut in half...so I went from a 40hr salary employee to a part time position starting yesterday.... needless to say it was a bit of a shock. Having just bought this beautiful house and a car payment. So times are going to get pretty tight.
the economy has really affected me and my family.... and its not fun.
hope everyone is doing well.
cheers
