Back to the grind...

Well I have had one undeniably wonderful 7 days off.  Most of which were spent lounging, cleaning, and hanging out with my two favorite people.... :)  LiL M has been loving the sunshine, and is counting down the days til our next camping trip.   MrMan and I spent the weekend with friends at an amazing cabin.. I really wished LiLM could have come... she would have loved it... it was a weekend of boating, quadding, swimming, bbq's and lounging...  But tis the life of the shared custody parent... and two years later I am still not used to it... nor will I ever be I think... We are going to save our butts off so that hopefully next year by this time we will be the proud owners of property on the lake just down the way from our dear friends... This will be the year of saving.... but don't get too excited for me... this will be an empty lot... and MrMan is over the moon at the thought of building with his own two hands.. and perhaps the many additional hands of some generous friends of course....Needless to say it would be dreamy.... You see MrMan grew up always having a cabin on the lake where he spent summers with his family.... unfortunately that cabin is far too many miles away for us to visit... but it is definately his driving force behind reliving the dream with our own little family. 

Now back to reality... tomorrow I return to the grind. 4 long days of 12.75 hour shifts... and LilM will be going to her dad's a day early as he is on vacation... gawd that man gets more vacation days than I can wrap my head around.... lucky for him they are spent doing whatever he wants while I graciously exchange mine for parenting time....  Anyhow... when she comes home we'll head off on camping expedition :)  Can't wait :)  Here's a little photo snap of our weekend away.... probablly the last til baby no. 2 makes its arrival... did I mention September 13th I find out the sex?   OMG I can't wait!  The nursery has finally been purged of LiLM's toy collection and looks like something other than a toystore!  Let the painting begin!!!!
