Hello Nobody!

So, my Hubby and I are seriously considering a big move.... back to where we are orginally from. He has recently started his own business, and most of his clients are in that area. Which means that he ends up working there, and being away from home, 3-4 days a week. Or, as is the case this week, ALL week. Being home alone with a toddler all week SUCKS. It's hard. Especially with working, getting her to daycare, etc. Don't know how single Moms do it. All that to say, we are seriously considering moving. I have even go as far as to inquire about a couple of homes for rent up there. It's scary, and risky..... but I'm just sick of being stuck here by myself all the time! What if Ella and I had a wreck on the way to daycare one morning, while he was out of town? It would be hours before anyone could get to her, or even find out for that matter! We've discussed it several times, but I think we may finally be ready.

On the Ella front, she has now started calling all books 'Bibles'. She has also been practicing her gymnastics, by standing on the seat of her little 'ride', while clapping and dancing. I think we'll start her off on the balance beam. :)

Late....Again

Last night,a round 7pm, I walked outside and was surprised at how nice it felt! It has been in the high 90's, or evern triple digits, here for the last month! My hubby was out of town, my daughter was already in bed, and I was bored. I thought this would be a fine time to get some exercise and go for a run down the street! Then I remembered that I don't run. And that I had a sleeping child inside. So I got a wild hair and decided to mow the yard! I got everything but the back yard finished before dark. Pretty impressive! Of course then I had to wind down for a couple of hours before bed, which meant I ended up staying up a littler later. I knew this morning when I was awaken by Ella, instead of my alarm, that something was wrong. My alarm was set for 5:30.... and it was 7. Yikes! Oh well!

In other news, Ella will be 18 months on September 7th. Crazy. She is sooo fiesty! I can't wait to get her into gymnastics.... she loves flipping over things, and just being rough in general- ha! She said 'octopus' last night, and hearing that big word come out of that little mouth was halarious! I've been thinking about buying her a tent of some sort. She is really getting into the whole 'hiding out' thing. She loves to play under the kitchen table or in the dryer. Wait, did I just say dryer? Yeah, that's a story for another day...
This was almost a year ago... or yesterday???

Here we are!

One of my favorite things to do is read blogs. I have several that I read daily, and yes sometimes I forget that I don't personally know some of these people. I've considered starting my own blog for awhile, but always wonder if I would REALLY have anything to say. But then I realized how crazy our life is sometimes, and of all the really random and strange things that happen to us. So, I figured if nothing else, I could share those things... and maybe some of you would get a laugh out of a day in our life!
