Not Too Much
I know I've been horrible at posting lately....Sorry!
Not too much has been going on in the Alford house lately....
Michael got a package of photos from his dad's cousin the other day. She went thru her pictures and pulled out several photos of his dad and his grandparents for Michael. Michael never really knew his grandparents on his dad's side so it was really neat to see the old black and whites. Michael and I sat down and went thru them the night he got them, we were lucky enough that Joan (Michael's cousin) identified the people in the photos. I used to think that Michael looked just like his daddy, but now seeing the pictures of his dad as a baby and Michael as a baby next to each other I can tell that he's got plenty of the Valentine traits too.
I've been run down lately...just so tired all the time. I would say this is the primary reason that I haven't been posting nearly enough. I'm working with my doctors to resolve the issues and we'll see how it goes. Hopefully my sleep will be regulated soon. Because of being sleepy so much, my attitude has been in the dumps! I go to work and then I come home and I don't want to deal with anything. Thank God for Michael, he's put up with me even though I've been a meanie.
Michael and I made the decision to make a bigger effort on the home front. We were both letting chores slide and we had started getting back into the fast food rut, so now we're grocery shopping together, meal planning together and cleaning together, Michael still does all the cooking (I've managed to ruin all my attempts so far
). We're trying to hold each other to our new standards...some nights it is hard to make yourself do it all but it's worth it. That way on the weekends we can spend time with friends, family or just the two of us and don't feel like we have to do so much.
My parents' house is coming along so fast!! I'm so excited for Mom & Dad and can't wait to go inside it the next time I'm up there. They're moving closer to my older sis and her family, so my nephews are SOOO excited about grandma and grandpa living around the corner. I hope that Michael and I are successful enough to have something as nice as their house one day. That reminds me...momma, I'll try to find a picture of the old Castleman house for you. Preferably one with the azaleas to make Daddy happy!
