Tired

I haven't blogged lately because I really like to blog about good days and good things and moments in life that I enjoy....if I am having a bad day the last thing I want to do is have to go thru it all over again in a blog........not my thing...really for the most part life is awesome...really for the whole part life is awesome....but my mood....my mood has kind of been lousy and slightly overwhelmed....at least for the moment....Dylan is doing awesome and is eating like a champ....right now Daddy and Dylan are eating macaroni cheese........he is changing and growing so much right now...every day brings a new activity and new words....I feel so lucky to have such a wonderful little boy as my son....I literally pinch myself at night as I watch him fall asleep....feeling so lucky that he is my little boy....Dylan of course is still sleeping with us...we won't be kicking him out anytime soon....I think at this point it might be a harder adjustment for me than for him.,...for the last 20 or so months I have learned to sleep with this little boy cuddles in the crook of my arm...I love that he sleeps so close....it will of course be a big milestone for Dylan once he makes his way to his own bed....and I will be so excited for him once he is ready to make his bed his own...but there will be a part of me that is just a little bit heartbroken...every step he makes to growing up is celebrated but at the same time a reminder that my little boy is growing up that I will never experience this age again.........
Collin and Dylan have finished dinner and know have made their way to some pretty incredible chocolate fudge.........Dylan is just like his dad when it comes to sweets........he can't get enough....
Business............has been great....but new construction is just down right exhausting.....clients are stressed and emotional......for such a long period of time....it gets difficult and tiring keeping them emotionally balanced....when people buy homes it is just very stressful for them....this usually last for about a month....then they close move into their home and go on with life....new construction clients are held in a emotional limbo the entire time leading up to writing a contract thru the entire 4-8 month building process...............the statistics show that a large percentage of couples get divorced during or right after building a custom home..............crazy.....but I am pretty much the sounding board and the person that tries to keep the emotions in check and keep a healthy perspective towards building their home..... and right now we have 6 homes under contract so that is 12 stressed clients....and we are working on 3 new projects that we are hoping to get under contract in the next 30 days or so....my existing home business has also been very busy.....I guess I am just tired today and need a couple of hours to refuel.............home does that for me....I absolutely love our home...it truly is my haven from all the stress.....
Excited....I am very excited about a new leather chair that Collin got me today for Valentines Day....I scored big time....our master bedroom well is a little sad looking at the moment....I saw a very beautiful leather chair and ottoman....it was originally a $1800.00 or so leather chair and the style is being discontinued....so they are selling the floor model....and we purchased it for $600.00....I am guessing the real price was probably around a $1000.00 or so and not the $1800.00 they are claiming....these furniture stores...I love furniture...but I hate the stores....it just kind of feels like a used car lot.....they mark everything up just to mark it down.....anyways I am excited to have it in our bedroom...it will be nice to have a nice chair to read in...in our room....we spend a lot of time in our bedroom in the evening....when Collin is at work...Dylan and I head upstairs early in the evening....we take a bath....read...play and watch a little TV.....it is a large open room and we really enjoy our evening upstairs.........the chair will be a nice addition to the room...and perhaps inspire me to work on decorating it........looking forward to a nice hot bath tonight....a good night sleep....coffee, the Sunday paper in front of the fireplace in the morning....we have to head to a client house in the morning to help paint...then hopefully a nice afternoon at home watching the super bowl and admiring my new chair..............until next time
