Days go by..

So I know I'm not alone when it comes to feeling like you have so much to do that you don't even know where to start. Here's my list of a couple of days ago, in the middle of my sinus infection that got me in bed for a couple of days.

This doesn't even include showering Bella twice(she got muddy), making dinner from scratch, ordering front entry doors, and putting the kids to sleep.

It's days like the one above, which feels like it's every other day that gets me down and anxious, because I feel I didn't accomplish enough.  Most of the time I don't make lists, which I think contributes to my sense of no accomplishment.  It sucks...

Yesterday was another one of these days, consequently since I couldn't sleep because Mike had gone to a movie with a buddy, I was up until midnight ironing clothes.

I'm glad to see these lists even though I didn't get everything done, I still did a lot of things and it helps me account for something at the end of the day.

Oh and on another topic, I just finished reading The Millionaire Next Door, and it made me realize I have so many habits to change. What I liked the most about the book, is that it's presented in a style that is like reading a study's conclusions. These two professors conducted a lot of research and were very surprised in their findings, and so was I!!  We all think that the people who have a lot of toys, cars and big houses are the ones with a lot of money, but that's not quite  true.   I'd suggest that if you need a book to read, read this one. It's amazing how you think you are doing well, living below your means (or at least I thought), then you read this book and see how most millionaires actually live. It's truly eye opening.

6 Years!

Wow, 6 years right now is seeming like an eternity. If I think about my last 10 years a lot has happened: I have graduated from college, had two fun filled, stress packed careers, have been married and divorced, married again, and have created life twice! That's a lot to accomplish in 10 years. What about you?  I bet most of us could say we've accomplished quite a bit too, don't you agree?

6 years ago today, I went to Vegas. Vegas baby, Vegas! I played Russian Roulette and SCORED BIG. I got me a tall, semi-dark and handsome drink of water to be Mr. Renatha Gueiros. Yep, and it was kind of easy too. I mean he was easy, oops did I just say that? (insert "lots of laughter" HERE).

Life has been so fun, so hard, so frustrating, so exhilarating, so exasperating, so everything and anything from one extreme of the pendulum to the other. Mike and I have grown up, grown out(literally, and he has shrunk back in again, lucky him), grown together into this perfect couple that somehow are not totally perfect but manage to still FEEL that way, if that makes sense. So here we are, 6 years later: We have lived in 6 different houses (2 of which we built for ourselves), we have had 8 different cars(remember my piece of junk Montero, and my cute little Beetle?), we have two children, no dogs or cats(hopefully not for long), and have visited 8 countries together(not counting territories such as  Gibraltar, USVI, and BVI).

In six years, we have had a lot of sorrow, and a lot of joy. We have lived a full life, and if I were to die today, I have no regrets.  I married up, although Mike's dad likes to joke with me that Mike got lucky. And to that I say: He is the one who has loved me, and has accepted me and has encouraged me, has played coed volleyball with me(everyone knows it's hard to not yell at your spouse while playing doubles), has attempted to teach me golf, had patiently played tennis with me,  has massaged my scalp when I can't sleep,  has brought me numerous cups of hot chocolate or tea, and has cleaned the dishes and thanked me for dinner every time I cook dinner. He still chooses to be with me after 6 ultra long years. I definitely scored, see? And that's why I tell him he is my favorite husband, well obviously... I LOVE YOU, HONEY!
