Happy Anniversary To Us!


Today is our 10th anniversary! Here is Vince and I outside the Chicago Temple 10 years ago. It was a very humid day, as you can see in both of our hairstyles! :)
For all those who haven't heard, we are going to be celebrating in Hawaii, but we decided to do it in Oct. for a few reasons: The kids will be in school which is easier for a babysitter and I heard it would be the "off season" so maybe not as crowded. (I am not sure if Hawaii is ever not crowded, though)

As for today, just a few dentist and doctor appts. for the kids and if I am lucky, I might get some cleaning in! :)

Reading obsessed

Well, I have done it again. I let myself read some more books. I know I shouldn't and I just can't help myself because I think "well, I will save it for those nights that I only have a few minutes to read before bed, plus to give myself a break in between chores, etc." YEAH RIGHT! I really need a self-help book on controlling my reading habits. I just sit there and read, and sometimes I can put it down if its not that great of a book, but most of the time I am consumed to find out what happens and therefore I can't stop!

My new self-diagnosis is that I am just waiting out the next couple of weeks until school starts because I have to have something to take my mind off the constant fighting that goes on. Once the kids are back in school, then I can get my life back in order (Getting back to the gym, regular daily chores, library books back in time, etc.), therefore I have to do whatever it takes to just survive until then!

I think Vince is a little worried, but he says as long as I don't get bored of the books because then there would be nothing holding me back from getting truly depressed. I have to say that I do a pretty good "pretend clean" by the time he gets home, but I still know the truth. Besides, I told him that if I get bored with the books, I would either guilt myself back into actually cleaning and taking care of the kids or just start baking goodies!

Goodreads.com has egged me on, but at least its FREE, right? It's a website that keeps track of all the books you have read or would like to read and you don't have to remember for yourself! Plus, you get to check out all your friends' lists to see what they are reading and would like to read as well.

Wish me luck!!
