It is 8:15pm which means Miss E is in bed and I finally have some quiet time. I love this time of day. Brandon is out of town for work so it is just me and I am enjoying it. She has been really good and then the past 2 days she has been extremely moody. She has her canines coming in, 2 of the 4 have popped through. I'm hoping we get a break from teething until her 2 year molars come in.
I've been staying off the computer more to focus on Elyse during the day and to have time with Brandon at night. I realized I was spending way too much time on Facebook and that's time that I could be focused on doing things with Elyse. I did peek on there today and after reading maybe 3 status updates I shut it off. People post ridiculous things and it really gets on my nerves. I need to go through and clean out my friends list so I can get on there without getting annoyed.
My birthday is in a few weeks and I've decided that I'm not going to do anything for it. The past few years has been a pain to try to get everyone together. Last year we had 14 people say they would come and when the night came, only 4 people showed up to dinner. So I'm over trying to plan things. It really hurt my feelings last year and put a damper on the night, so I'm sparing my feelings this year. Our anniversary is 2 weeks to the day after my birthday. Brandon is not good with the romance stuff so we will probably try to get a sitter and go to dinner or something. I want to go to Strip, I absolutely love that restaurant! Then our vacation is just a few weeks after that, so there is a lot to look forward to. I am so ready for the cooler weather. Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year.
August marks 10 years of Brandon and I being together. A whole decade. That makes me feel old saying it that way. We have come to a break-thru in our marriage and it's really great. We have always had a good relationship, but there is always room for improvement. Communication was where we needed our improvement and this past week we have really turned that around and it has made things so much better.
Now I am getting off of here and going to get some much needed relaxing time in!
I hear you on the birthday thing. Last year we had 6 people coming over for a game night... 1 person showed up. Talk about hurt.
