So why the heck is Culvers so delicious? I was thinking about that the other day when my mouth was watering for a juicy, delicious, absolutely fabuloso cheeseburger from there. It is on the South side of town so not really a quick hop skip and a jump trip there, unlike all the other fast food places. When we hit up Culvers, you know its a good day. Alright, I'll write Culvers a letter:
Culvers,
I love your burgers. With Cheese. Ketchup, Mustard, Onions. You could lower your prices a bit though.
Love,
Caitlin
So Christmas was alright...I had to work all stinkin weekend so it didn't even feel like Christmas at all. Well sorta, but not really. I really loved watching Axton open all his presents this year. Last year he was still real little so we wrapped everything in a bag with tissue paper cuz that is pretty much all he could do. So having to wrap all his presents (which I suck at mind you) was exhausting? I mean I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that before...that wrapping presents is exhausting...but to me, IT IS. It's never freaking ending. I had to keep reminding myself that it would be worth it watching him open them. But really I am not good at wrapping presents. I think next year I'm going to put a real effort into making the presents look good. Accessories and all.
For Christmas I got a gift certificate to a hair salon..so I think now I'm finally gonna do something different. I have been dying my hair the same color for like 7 years! Pretty much the same hairstyle with slight variations here and there. Time for a change ya hear? I think I want to do somethin crazy, like vibrant bright red. I bet the old people will like that, lol.
This year the holidays have felt non-existent. I had to freaking work every single one of them! Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve, and New Years Day! What in the? Hopefully next year, I will actually get to enjoy the holidays unlike this year. The double pay was nice I suppose, but maybe not worth missing my favorite time of year.
Alright so here are some songs in my life right now: (Just trying to keep it a semi-usual thing to document):
Read My Mind - The Killers
We All Lose One Another - Jason Collett
Black Balloon - Goo Goo Dolls
My Only Swerving - El Ten Eleven
Mississippi-Train
Reasons to Love You - Meiko
Whatever It Is - Ben Lee
Kids- MGMT
So today is Axton's birthday..his 2nd birthday. How crazy is that business?? Two years ago today, this little boy got brought into my life and brought such a new light in my life. I admit, he tests my patience daily...but I wouldn't have it any other way :)
On to more....serious matters. Life lately has been so crazy. I have been struggling to write for multiple reasons. One being that I seriously have so much in my brain right now that even beginning to get everything down in writing seems like an impossible task. Also, I feel like everything going on in my life right now is rather personal? So I feel a tad vulnerable putting myself out there and laying my feelings out on the line. But I figure, what have I really got to lose? When Zaidyn was 6-8 weeks old...(I think around there) is when I finally started feeling like myself again..and I actually made myself a priority in my life..unlike before when I wasn't even on the priority list itself. Making time for myself has made such a difference in my life. Putting focus on myself from time to time has really changed my outlook on life as of recent. I feel like I've learned so much about myself in the last couple months then ever before. And maybe that isn't the best way of describing it. I wouldn't consider it "learning" about myself..I would more or less describe it as me facing the facts and being completely real with myself about how I am with certain things, how I want to live my life, goals I want accomplished, where I see myself, the kind of relationship I essentially want to be in...those kinds of things. Right now I am most definitely at a very serious crossroad in my life. I'm just taking in all of my surroundings and deciding what is best for me, the kids, and my family. I just want to be fair..with myself, with Cody, and my kids. I wish I could divulge a bit more...but time is not allowing me to do such things right this moment. I really will try to write again real soon.
