ADD much?

Hello fellow bloggers :) I have been neglecting writing any posts the past few days because, well, my blog is currently "ugly"...and soon it will be "beautiful!!" :) My friend Sharla is uber creative and she has a design business called Posh Peony Designs. She is designing my blog!! Woohoo!!! So, stay tuned...for now I am just blogging about my days and things that come to mind. Once I figure out how all of this stuff works I will be posting pictures, talking about sites that I love and live by, sharing recipes, and posting projects that i will be working on (and FINISHING!!).

Have you wondered why my blog is called "The Finish Line"? Well, before I decided that the theme of this blog was going to be about my big fat Navy adventure (hmm...that would have actually been a good name), i created a blog with the intentions of writing about all the things that I say I am going to do and never do. And what do ya know....the blog was once of them!!!! Man did i feel dumb!

I actually think I may have adult ADD or something. My mind is constantly going off on tangents. I can't stand it. I always have all of these great ideas in my head but can't find a way to organize them. It makes cleaning my house a nightmare! I can never stay focused on one thing. I go to clean the bathroom but find something that needs to go upstairs, so i take the item upstairs , put it away but see that there are clothes on the floor in the kid's room, so i take the clothes to the laundry room, then remember i need to start laundry, then realize i never put the washed clothes into the dryer from yesterday........and it never ends!! I got so distracted by everything else that i forgot what i was cleaning in the first place. Does this happen to anyone else? It happens to me every day and i hate it.

So, Kevin was suppose to be underway for a couple weeks this month but instead he is in Pennsylvania visiting his sick Grammy. Grammy B fell and hit her head (we think) earlier on in the week and they found a hematoma on her brain. Basically, her brain is bleeding. So, they did a craniotomy on her a couple of days ago. I don't think anyone really expected her to make it out of surgery. They gave her a 30% chance of surviving the surgery because they thought her brain many be too swollen to close it back up. Well, Grammy beat the odds and made it out of surgery!! :) But now it is a waiting game and no one really knows what is going to happen. Kevin is in PA with his parents, sister, and brother-in-law. I am so glad that he was able to make it. The last thing I want for him is to have regret that he was unable to see Grammy one last time. Regret is a horrible feeling. I regret not calling both of my Grandma and Grandpa when they were very ill. I think I am just really bad at phone conversations in general and especially in those situations where I don't know what to say really. So, i didn't call. It was just easier for me that way. And now, i feel bad for being selfish and not showing them how much i cared. So, anyways, i'm glad Kevin is there, even if Grammy cannot show that she knows who he is, i have faith that somehow, in some way, that she knows he is there and that he cares and loves her very much.

So, i am alone with the kids this week. Going to have to get used to this....this will how life is for quite some time now. We miss Daddy! Proud of him every.single.day!
