Wow.... has it really been that long??

Time flies when you're a mom... well it flies if you're anyone. It's passes at warp speed when you're a mom. :) I've been so busy with work, housework, the kids and varoius family events that I haven't taken the time to sit down and blog... I dont know if anyone even reads this, but oh well. :) Things have actually been going pretty smoothly for me the last month or so. I started taking Zoloft to help tame my brain a little. I was getting really stressed out and very easily distressed, so I decided that I should take care of it at least for a little while until the hormones calm down a little bit. It seems to be helping quite a bit. My fuse is a little longer and I'm definitely better able to focus on work. I was having a terrible time focusing on anything for more than about 10 seconds at a time and wasnt able to be very effective as an engineer... It's been a thousand times better the last few weeks. I was also running very regularly for a while... I've taken a bit of a furlow from that the last 2 weeks, but I absolutely promise myself I will get back into it. I've lost almost 20 lbs since January and I feel so much better and can wear a few of my old clothes again! Woo hoo! Just a few more pounds and I'm hoping my old wardrobe will be useful again. :) My house is even starting to come together a little bit. I've managed to catch up on my 300 loads of laundry that have been filling up the laundry room for a couple of months now. Now all the dirty clothes fit into 1 bag and I can actually walk into the laundry room (which is also our pantry) now! I still haven't managed to mop the kitchen floor in a while and the bathrooms need some work, but things are tidy enough that I dont feel like goign crazy quite as much of the time. :)

Things at work have gotten a little shaken up lately. The project I'm working on got completely changed... technically, it got cancelled and we kinda got reassigned, but we're reusing a lot of what we've already done on the new project. Hopefully it'll be a good move for the company and we'll all keep our jobs. :) Things are still up in the air and a little crazy around there, but so far it seems like a pretty exciting change. We've also had a fairly tragic year so far. One of my co-workers here in Richardson was in a bad car accident back in February and was in ICU for a while and I believe she's now at a rehab center until she's well enough to go home and be on her own again. She suffereed a lot of internal injuries and broke both of her legs. I hear she's doing well, but haven't seen her myself. She can certainly use some prayer! One of the groups I work really closely with is in Colorado and last week one of our co-workers there passed away suddenly. It's had everyone pretty down. I haven't talked to any of the other guys up there about it, but I know it's tough on them. Prayer for all of them would be appreciated. They are all pretty good friends.

Well, I hate to end this blog on a sad note, but I gotta get back to work now! :) I'll try to be better about posting more often.... (famous last words......)
