Where does the time go?

Good gracious, is it really September 28? Have I really not blogged about anything terribly earth-shattering in the last month? Did September 17, Madeline's 13 month-day, come and go without a post? Shame on me.

September turned into a crazy month with packing, moving, closing, and getting adjusted to our new temporary living quarters. So, yes, that was a time consuming and daunting task. However, we are settled, but for some reason we cannot get our rhythm back.

Part of our issue is that everything seemed to happen at once...the move, some extra curricular activities with our church, hunting season (my sweet hubby is bound and determined to bring home a Bambi this hunting season), Eric's boss's boss spending 3 days with him, working out some kinks with the rental house, Eric making some rather large presentations that have required much of his home time to be working, and my couple of regularly scheduled evening "Mama escapes" seemed to all fall within the last few weeks. I suppose it's no wonder that the blog has taken a hit. When the three of us are home together and not completely exhausted, we are enjoying each other's company. With all this craziness, Eric and I have made it a point to have our own dinner after Madeline goes to bed in order to stay connected. Ultimately, we've let the computer remain "asleep" in the evenings.

My goal this week is to get our day-to-day rhythm back...regular grocery trips (my grocery gaming has taken a hit as well), daily gym workouts that involve more than just a run, Eric making it to the gym after work, home cooked healthy dinners, truly relaxing over the weekend, and resuming normal close to home activities (blogging, laundry, scheduling some much needed appointments, & cleaning) on a regular schedule. I hope our funk is behind us, and we can resume some normalcy instead of operating on "survival mode".
