First we worked out. I say we because I did Zumba, while Rayne crawled in and out of my legs causing me to look more like I was having a seizure at some points rather than dancing. But at least we were moving!
I finished a chapter in my book. Yes, I think I'm going to start calling it a book rather than "I'm just writing". I even looked up a few sites on publishing your own book and filled out a questionaire to have someone call me about it. Guess what? They did! Only...I didn't pick up the phone. I haven't even finished a few chapters let alone the whole thing. I was just curious as to what was out there.
I'm making an altar which is my next project once Rayne goes down for her afternoon nap. I'm a Celtic Pagan and wanted to have a small space to go where I can focus and pray when I need to and decided to make one. It's still in the rough stages but here's some pics:
This will be the top. I burned the image of a tree of life I found online in the center and it's all stained in a light pecan color.
This is what the top will rest on once I glue it all together. The symbols are Triquerta's (some people might know them from Charmed but they don't originate there) I call them trinity knots and in Catholic faith they represent the Holy Trinity. (Sorry for the mini lesson there...) :)
As for the title of my post, we have changed gears here in our household. For the past couple of months it was decided that my husband would be joining the Army so he could get the hell out of his current construction job and move onto something better - and to help out our finances. But it's not really what either of us want. His first choice was Air Force but they denied him because of his tattoos so his next stop was the Army recruiter. He doesn't want to be away from Rayne and I, especially with her being our first and he doesn't want to miss anything. With all of my issues I would definitely like him to be home anyway.
Plus, our dreams lie somewhere else. We want more kids and I don't want to work around deployments, school, etc. to do that. He wants to open up a card shop someday. I was going to school for Veterinary Technology but stopped when my problems with the PPD got too extreme.
So we're picking up where we dropped off. I'm going back to school so eventually I can go back to work and he can stay home with Rayne (and any future kids we have) while he tries to get his business off the ground and we all live happily, ever after. At least, that's the plan.
Oh, and for shits and giggles, here's a pic of Rayne during her first time at the beach. We got a few smiles, but I don't think she was too sure on the waves. :)
I would die for this little girl, I really would.
