pressing down on me...

i don't know where it comes from, but i feel this everpresent pressure that when i do a new post, it needs to be in-depth, insightful and of course loaded with pictures.  part of it is that i RARELY keep a real journal, so this is the main place i document all of the new things adelle does... i have a saved post that i'm still working on about all that.  maybe i'll finish it someday... with or without pictures.

today i just want to say that i'm tired.  there are some things in my life that have caused so much stress and heartache in the past 6 months and honestly, i'm just tired.  i'm so over not being able to afford the things we need.  i'm so tired of having a messy kitchen...even after i've seemingly JUST cleaned it.  luke recently got a great job and right now all i can think about is how tired i am of him being out of town this week (he should be home within the hour).

just a little (much needed) venting.  i'm done for now.  as far as positives:

(a yay list)

• My sister Kelly took me to see Wicked a couple of weekends ago and I LOVED it!!  We had a lot of fun!  It's been a long time since I did something fun with Kelly.  We used to hang out a lot.
• Adelle is a walker (runner practically).  More on that in the unfinished post, whenever I get around to it...
• I actually made friends at work!  We even hang out sometimes.  And we've had a couple of days off the phones the past couple of weeks, which is basically awesome.
• Luke found a great job with advancement potential in the very near future!
• We got library cards!  Yay!  I got this book for Adelle called "Everywhere the Cow Says Moo!" where it does the animal sounds in a few different languages... Adelle was just laughing hysterically the first time we read it together!!!  So fun.

Time to get ready for work so I can actually spend a few minutes with Luke when he gets home before I leave.  Happy holidays and all that :)
