I CONFESS...

/ that I am seriously way behind on reading my friends blogs. I love reading blogs....more than writing one (sometimes) and I miss being able to read my favorites daily. I need to work on that.

/ that I have worked out every weekday this week and I am so proud of myself. My hotel has a pretty good gym and I am taking advantage of it. I also may be taking advantage of it due to all the wine I have consumed. Don't worry, I don't have a car.

/ that this week is a test for myself and my family. I have only been gone 4 nights (counting tonight's) and it has been hard being away from my girls. In just a few short weeks, I will be heading to Europe for work and that is really going to test us. First, me being away from my girls that long. Hasn't happened since they were born. Second, how my husband handles the girls on his own (with some help from family at times). And lastly, me just being safe with all that has happened recently in our world.

/ that there was a huge case at work this week that was held by the Board and I am so sad that I missed it. So much drama that I have been hearing about for months and I never got to see it come to be. Hopefully I can get a good recap of how it went down.

/ that I bought the girls ridiculously expensive toys from Disneyland (not in Disneyland, but in their boulevard outside) because I wanted them to have Disney things. #spendingallmyperdiem

/ that I would rather buy my girls things than myself.

/ that I have consumed an entire bag of Airhead Bites this trip already. No shame. Or maybe there is some.

/ that I was surprised when our house appraisal came back WAY higher than we thought it would. This means less fees and an even lower interest rate on our mortgage. Let's start the renos!

/ that you all need to brace yourself because next week is going to be fully of mushy posts about my husband and our anniversary.

And that's it for my confessions. Be sure to link up below.

  2. Traveling is so hard! I'm sure the girls are doing awesome though. I always worry about my boys and especially patrick, even though I know his mom is going to help out tons! I've been having a hard time keeping up with al my favorite blogs too. If i don't read them first thing in the morning while my boys are hanging out I forget to go back and read them. #momproblems Hope you're having a great time on your work trip!

  3. Great job working out! It feels so good when we keep up with it doesn't it!?

    I know traveling has to be really hard with a family, I only had to do it a few times and never for longer than 2 days and that was hard enough for me, so I can't imagine! But it will make you stronger, right??! :)

    I love buying my kids things more than myself too, and anything Disney is a must!

    And that's awesome that your appraisal came back even better than what you expected! I can't wait to see what you guys do!

  12. Ohhh yay for a high appraisal! Our down payment wasn't big enough, so we have to pay private mortgage insurance. We're hoping if we wait a couple more months we can get a new appraisal and it will be appraised for high enough that we can get it dropped off!
