I went to the hypnotherapist and it changed my life, true story! More on that later.
I've lost 20 pounds!!! Actually it's closer to 25, but I didn't want to tell the doctor that I had gained weight since he weighed me last and I am going from that number.
My phone died and luckily my (wonderful, amazing) husband was able to get it back up and running, again. Remember when I dropped it in my pedicure water?? Yeah, he fixed it back then too. And all I do is yell at him for fixing it without having a ton of sympathy for me while he works on it. Aren't I an awesome wife! I did lose all of my contacts and my calendar. I feel a little lost without knowing all the things I am sure I have forgotten. I did remember my hair appointment that is in 15 minutes. I couldn't forget that if I tried! In 2 hours I will be back to good hair and I can stop crying about how bad my hair looks.
I kind of sold my car, they are picking it up today, which leaves me without a car. Guess I'll be walking for a week! Andre did say he'd let me take his car and he'll borrow a company truck - at least for the weekend, but after that, we either have to rent a car or borrow his parents car. Kind of makes me feel like a teenager again, asking for the car! Hopefully be next weekend I'll be driving my new car! It's black and its going to be super shiny and sparkly!!! I can't wait!
Gotta go get my hair done!!!

Happy Anniversary to my Husband and Me!
Yesterday marked my 15th wedding anniversary to my beloved husband. I cannot believe we made it this far! We have had some really difficult times, and they seemed to last a very long time. I tell people 15 years married, 7 of them happily!
We are super happy now, and we have been for a few years now. That wasn't luck, it didn't just happen, we worked our asses of to get a relationship that we both wanted. We went through a lot of counselling, a lot of anger and tears, a few punches (don't worry, I couldn't hurt him if I tried) and a lot of throwing things. We slowly and methodically rebuilt our marriage, and all that work that we have put in, really made the difference. We no longer have to work quite as hard, but we make a point of working at it. Everything worth anything takes work.
Looking back, 15 years went by really quickly. I hardly seem old enough to have been married this long! Things have changed so much over time though, and we have changed and become much different people. It happens so quickly, that sometimes you don't notice time slipping away. We try really hard to take stock of things so that we don't let things slide.
The funny thing is, this year we barely celebrated our anniversary. I worked on cleaning the den all day, had a little lunch on my patio and he went to work as usual. When he got home from work, we snuggled on the couch, chatted a bit and then he went to play soccer....big surprise! We didn't exchange presents, just cards, and we didn't go out for supper or anything, nor do we have plans to do so. And yet, this was the best anniversary we've had - because we are happy. And that's all that matters. I love him, he makes me happy and he says that I do the same for him.
I have a husband that I love, I love him more now than the first day I married him. I am happy and content, excited for our future, and comfortable all at the same time. I look forward to spending the rest of my life with him. What more could I ask for?

Back to School!
Wow - I didn't mean to take such a long break from writing!
So we are in week 3 of back to school. I took the whole first week off for myself and did some shopping! My present to me for surviving the summer (and for not having a minute of alone time for 2 months) was a new purse. Trust me, it was needed. The old one had it's insides showing! So I got a new purse that I love, it's very colorful, and maybe a bit on the too big size. I keep losing stuff in there. I also got 2 new pairs of jeans as all my other pants were too big! Yay me.
After that, I just puttered around in the stores being by myself, looking at fun stuff, and enjoying the silence.
Last week went by in a haze, I'm not sure what happened other than I had my 2 last soccer games. I pulled my hamstring in the first one, so I played net for the second half - luckily we won the game. The 2nd game, I played net for the whole game and only let in one goal. Unfortunately we didn't even score one, so our perfect season was totally tarnished! We still won first place in our division, so it's back up a level next season in outdoor. I actually think we will do just fine.
We did get the fence between our house and the neighbors done, the house is pretty clean, the laundry is almost done and I feel like I am starting to catch up on things.
This week will be a blur of organizing, purging crap that we don't need - I've already done my and my daughter's closets. I've got school council meetings, a hypnotherapy appointment (more on that later) and my 15th wedding anniversary on Thursday!!!!! 15 years!!! I look way too young for that to be true! he he
The kids are thrilled with their classes and teacher's, I am happy to have my alone time back and I am feeling so positive and motivated right now. I feel like I've got so much stuff to do, and I am actually looking forward to doing it.
Yes, September is always a fresh start for me!
