Daily Grind and January

Currently my weekly grind is kicking my butt!

My hectic week starts out on Sunday with preparing for the week with meal prep, laundry,  a heavy work out and general house chores.  I like this as I do feel prepared for the week but its almost like I start off on Monday already tired. LOL  

We are trying semi-hard to get back into our early 4:30 wake up call to get in our workout in before the day starts and get a good breakfast.  I really feel so much better when this goes according to planned but that's not always the case. 

Monday's and Tuesday's and the roughest on me and they are like a bad hangover it takes Wednesday and Thursday to recover from.  After early mornings I race to work and try to get EVERYTHING done in 4 hours each of these days before then racing to another gym for MMA.  Once I sweat it out there I get in my car and head to Dallas with a ton of food and water for night classes.  I get home from Dallas between 10-10:30 on these nights and still have to shower, take dogs out and finally crash close to an hour later.  

Wednesday feels like the longest day ever now that I've rushed through the first part of my week but I can actually work slowly and it really feels leisure....until I get home that is and see that...oh yeah...I've been MIA for 2 days and I desperately need to do the dishes, work on the laundry and sweep up the mountain of dog hair that's floating throughout the house.

Thursday I'm feeling a bit more like myself and then Friday I'm finally ready to conquer the world!  I feel super productive and not very productive all in the same breathe.  I'm thankful that this is in deed my last semester of school  I know that I say that every semester but for real this time. My degree requirements changed so I had to pick up some extra classes before graduating but this Spring is the time!

Just in time for the weekend I'm rejuvenated and ready to get my house clean, yard work, garden prep, meal prep and getting ready for another week of grinding!

I'm not one to gripe but you have no idea how I want to be done with school and feel the wonders of leisure and doing WHAT I WANT to do instead of things I HAVE TO DO!  I'm ready to just live and not be anxiously waiting the next test, assignment, or due date.

I did find time to get in some random snaps and happenings in January while only half the month was crazy and slow to start.

Started the new year off right keeping this little monster! :)  So cute in his jammies.

Lauren and I made one last trip to Canton before their baby shows up and saw this hideous rooster rocker!

From Canton I got these awesome greenery balls to spice up my dough bowl

And redid the grapevine wreath.  

Hoss got ran over and had to have leg surgery TWICE and is now recovering well...thankfully.  We feel so bad for him!

I helped host Lauren's baby shower for baby Kash and it turned out awesome

Driving and multi-tasking to stay on diet point

I milled around Winnsboro the last weekend of the month and started a fun new project... separate post coming soon

Had a special date night at Bin 303 on the 30th with my honey and we started off our hour long wait with the one pot dip and some bloody Marys

I'm putting my head down the rest of the semester and I'm going to smash life in the face....get ready!
