Back to life -- I think

Helloooo! (Mrs. Doubtfire voice) Haha!

Well, Matt and I officially live with my parents now. It has been a long week and a half, but we made it. Life has been a matter of settling and fitting in right now. I mean, come on! It's not easy living with your parents at 26 years old, with your husband! However, this is the best situation we could be in right now.

My mom and I spent most of last week packing EVERYTHING! And we have a lot of junk! So, then I finished it on Friday and Saturday. We moved everything (surprisingly quick) on Saturday thanks to our amazing families who helped us! Matt has been working 10 hour days this week, and he has a longer commute so he goes to bed really early, and because he's working/driving so much I want to get as much unpacked as humanly possible so he has less to worry about when he gets home. Then, My mom and I went to mine and Matt's apartment today and cleaned it all out (also surprisingly quick). It was EXHAUSTING!!! I got home and rested and got back to work unpacking the bathroom and organizing it. Doesn't sound too hard, right? Well, that bathroom was full of mine and my brother's old crap that we stored like pack rats and did not touch for years! RIDICULOUS! So it took about 2-3 hours to unpack and organize the bathroom. Oh and yesterday, my (AMAZING) mother and I battled with a wire rack to hang clothes on in our closet ALL DAY LONG so Matt could have more closet space. It's been holding since last night, but we are anxious about it.

(Deep breath) In other words -- I. Am. Freaking. Tired.

Seriously, My feet hurt all day and all night. I typically hit 10,000 - 12,000 steps every day right now. (which is good, but I just jumped right in and haven't had time to build up to it.) I ache in muscles I didn't even know I had!!!

Moving is a beast!

And as if we didn't have enough on our plates right now --- We are hosting a garage sale this coming Saturday. It's like we enjoy punishing ourselves! Haha! After the garage sale is finished up, some family are coming over with pizza and beer to celebrate Mom feeling better! Unfortunately, we have to miss a friend's son's first birthday, so that's a big bummer. Hopefully we can make some money though (fingers crossed)!

Life has been going well, but I have not been eating right or taking my vitamins, and my nails are suffering! I've been the same weight, if not lost because I've been working so hard. And damnit -- life is too G.D. short to not enjoy a cold beer after a long day of hard work!

On another note -- it is very difficult to teach your parents to turn off the "parenting mode" and just be a couple of roommates. Haha! I love my parents, but I don't know if Matt will be as patient as I will.

I guess we shall see!

Why?

Why do I let you consume my life at times and enter my mind? Maybe it's because you have wronged me worse than anyone ever has in my life. Why do I let the horrible things you say to us overwhelm me and make me feel like I could just break down and cry? Because you have not only picked a fight with me, but my husband as well. Why do I let you get away with things that I know are not okay? Because I think you are my friend, or are you? Why am I even giving any of you the time of day at this very moment?! Because sometimes the negativity in this world is overwhelming. And it overwhelms me to see people post and share and tweet and whatever such harmful and negative things. How can one see only the bad in a situation? How can one only focus on the bad one may be doing? What is the good? Where is the good? I feel so often, lately, as if I am drowning in a sea of blackness with all of your negative remarks and comments. How do you hold your head above water? I do it long enough...

The person I want to be

Have you ever looked at your reflection in the mirror and asked yourself, "how did I get here?" I'm having one of those nights tonight. I've been having a long talk with God and I feel frustrated because I just feel like I'm talking in circles and rambling on and on. It's like... Uhhh! Enough already! I'm really new with my faith and I'm extremely new at having conversations with God. (I would love to tell my coming-to-faith story, but we will save that for another day!) I've found myself in a predicament lately because I've been taking really good care of my skin, hair, nails, feet, but not really what goes into my body... the core of it all. A friend of mine and I just started a weight loss challenge, and both of us were doing great on our nutrition plans before that, but for some reason, when the challenge hit... (I can't speak for her) I froze. I panicked and felt as if I wouldn't be good enough... As if I didn't deserv...

With courage comes peace

The title says it all... I've tackled some tough issues this week, and because of my courage to handle these issues, I have found a sense of peace. After Thursday, I felt overwhelmed and anxious. I didn't want Matt to go back to work and after he left, I crashed. Granted, I was very exhausted, so that probably played a big part in it, however, I fell into the darkness. I began to shake. I began to cry. I began to fall off the precipice I had been balancing on for the past several months. I was lonely. I was broken into a thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle, and there was little to no chance I would be able to put myself back together. Matt called me and I snapped at him and hung up. I was angry at the situation, not him, but I took it out on him. It was wrong, and I realized that shortly after. I began to pour out my heart to him via text message. I told him how much I hated him being on third shift. How angry I was at how little he was making with all of the experience he has. ...
