170/365

Today, Nate left.  We were late to the airport and he missed his flight.  Luckily there was another flight at 1330 and he didn't have to be to work until 1600.  And I am also thankful for REBECKAH!  We met at Luke, where she watched Spencer while I was in school (she was an FCC provider).  We quickly bonded over how much we hated it there and became friends from there.  Her husband volunteered for Korea too, just to get out of there.  And they came to Alaska (although not here at Elmendorf) while he is away too.  It is so nice to have someone who I can call or FB chat with anytime, who COMPLETELY understands what we are going through.  She had gotten me through some rough days and I really appreciate her!  I also appreciate that she drove, 40 some odd miles round trip, to pick up my husband from the airport because we screwed up!  I would have done the same thing for her, but it's nice to know that no matter where you are you have someone, somewhere you can depend on.  THANK YOU BECKAH!

Other than that my day was fueled by this...

I feel absolutely craptacular!  My head hurts, my back, my feet my uterus, EVERYTHING hurts today!

I did make it to the Oasis for a work out.  I did ellipitcal and weights today (I only run 3 days a week, so I don't get burnt out).  But it was horrible and hard.  After I lifted, I felt even shittier, if that's even possible.  I swear I was going to throw up.  So I gathered the kiddos real quick and we left.  On the drive home, I realized that I hadn't eaten lunch.  That probably was my downfall.  Somewhere in the day I forgot about feeding myself!  So I had a piece of peanut butter toast for quick carbs and some protein.  It didn't help me feel better.  So, I laid on the couch for a few hours.  Then Stacey called and we went over there for dinner.  It was GREAT not having to cook.  Kayleigh is spending the night.

Spencer wanted to, but I don't think I'm ready.  He's my baby and I don't think I can handle being away from him for a whole night.  That and I have a few other things.  Like, what is there to look forward to if he's already having sleepovers at barely 4?  What is he going to want at 7?  Weeks away? 

Anyway, that was my day in a nutshell.

POSITIVE THOUGHT #18

I'm digging deep tonight because I am exhausted and I still don't feel great.  But today I was looking at all of our accounts, IRA's, 529's, kids saving and liquid.  And we have a nice nest egg forming.  I am not going to go into specifics, but I am very proud of where we are financially.  Especially considering our age and how much money we make.  It is quite impressive.  We still have a little ways to go until we reach goal # 74, $20k in liquid savings, especially since we will be taking a bit of money out next year to reach goal #73 and buy a second car.  But we are getting there and I think that goal will be no problem!  In all honesty, it's thanks to me.  I am a saver and I have done very well for us!
