So today is September 2, 2016…and its the start of Labor Day Weekend!!!
My plans to get the weekend started didn’t necessarily pan out the way I intended so I am up catching up on some blogging work. I thought I would get a quick post up since I have a lot of random things circulating through my head!
This post is COMPLETELY RANDOM…
The first thing is BLOGGING…I commented on a fellow bloggers blog earlier about continuing this blog. Its my baby, but recently we have a love/hate relationship. Sometimes I truly love it and other times I hate it! But I cant seem to let it go, although in my heart sometimes I really want to let it go. I know that doesn’t make sense but these are my thoughts…The Green Eyed Lady has been going strong since 2008, and seeing another blogger that is celebrating her 1 year anniversary, I am proud of her but I’m like WOW I remember being there and look how much has changed since I originally started as a fashion blogger…8 years ago! I didn’t know what I was getting into, honestly I still don’t sometimes! Im constantly learning and evolving…I guess I see others that started and that old evil comparison to where they are at and where I am bothers me so I start doubting myself…hmm guess I will put more thought into where exactly The Green Eyed Lady is headed in the future!
Yesterday I purchased the Essie Gel Couture Polish…today is my first day wearing it. I must admit that I am loving it…if I can get a good 5 days out of it I think I will be happy! I’ve tried others and it didn’t last one full day…so I am hoping for better results this time around!
I have been looking everywhere for the Essie Gel Couture set and I finally stopped into Ulta after work and they had exactly what I needed! I really love my nails being polished and since we are trying to save money this helps a great deal (if it last) versus me going the nail shop every two weeks. But ummm when did the going rate for nail polish go up to $10!!! Ohhh how I miss my husband working at L’Oreal (why did they have to move) my discount on my favorite cosmetics was AWESOME! I got a stipend to use every other month, okay well it wasn’t really mine but he knew it was mine! HA!
While out yesterday I also FINALLY found the Vaseline Lip Therapy-Pink Bubbly!
I first saw this on a Walgreens advertisement, but they didn’t have it in the store…however, yesterday was the day; and I am ABSOLUTELY in LOVE!!!! I love Champagne, Sparkling Wine…and this follows the same lines. Its like the champagne of lipgloss!!! I’m a huge fan of Vaseline products so its no shocker that I love it. I bought one for my ID Wallet at work.
Its pretty cool here this weekend in Cleveland, and I must admit although I’m going to miss Summer…I am welcoming Fall with open arms! I truly love the in-between seasons of Fall and Spring!
Fall=Football
and y’all know my love for Football! OSU plays their first game tomorrow! Preseason Browns games have been on weekly…although, they aren’t really off to a good start! We have already started our mini tailgating on Thursdays! Now bring on Saturday tailgating!!! WHOOP WHOOP!!!
Missing My Yoga Pants
When I became a SAHM I was very adamant that I wanted to be a working mom. Well after 3 years my husband and I decided it would help us a great deal financially if I went back to working at least part time. Well I found a part time job in higher education which is the field I was working in prior to becoming a SAHM. I found a great positions, at a great place, I work with a great group of people, who have already motivated me to get on top of that Masters that I started but never completed…and all I can think of is how I long to be home with my babies!
I guess that’s the mommy in me that wishes there was a way to have a career and be there 100% for my babies.
A few days ago Emma had a Physical Therapy evaluation and it totally slipped my mind. The therapist called and I kept apologizing to her because I don’t schedule and not show (that’s not like me)…and still in writing about this days later I’m still beating myself up over it. I know there was a possibility of me missing it even if I was home but I just hate that I missed it! I have a great support system that helps with my children whenever we need it, however, I miss being home with them. I know I am doing what I have to for my family but sometimes I leave them with tears in my eyes. I know Im only gone for a few hours of the day but I miss being there all day long with them!
I know its been 3 years since I worked but now that I am back at work it seems like we just made the decision for me to stop working!
