We returned home on Friday from a 5-night vacation to Diamond Lake, OR. While the vacation wasn’t as relaxing as I would have liked it to be, we still had a nice time. Yeah, there was rain, cold, wind, mosquitoes and kids trapped in small cabins. But there was also short hikes, boat rides, walks, cards/games, and even a run thrown in there as well. Not to mention some quality time with Pam’s side of the family.

When we pulled in the driveway though, my stress level went through the roof. My sister-in-law’s car had been crashed into by the painters (the front passenger door won’t even open), the carpet was still not down in the house, and the paint fumes were horrendous. All of this work was supposed to be finished, but there was no way we were staying in the house that night.

So, after a 4 hour drive, we wrestled (literally) the kids back into the car and drove to the nearest hotel, hoping for a vacancy. The only two rooms remaining were smoking rooms and boy did they stink. But we took them anyway and spent the next two nights in the hotel while they worked on the house over the weekend.

Sunday afternoon, we came home again, and things were much better. I’m spending this week catching up on laundry and moving back into the house. My weight’s up a bit (191), and there’s a lot of stress hanging over my head because I’m ready for the construction projects to be over. But I’m not depressed, or worried about my fitness and diet. I’m back to eating well, and this morning, I woke before the kids and did a 3-mile -run. I would love to find more time to write quality stuff for you guys. Hopefully when my house is finished, I’ll get back on track. So stick with me please.
