Weekend Reflections: Laziness & Empowering Thoughts

Happy Monday!  Hope your weekends were all fabulous – ours was the absolute epitome of lazy!

I have been really fatigued and light headed this past week so there was very little movement on my part.  I had some blood work done on Thursday in hopes that we could find something array but so far it’s looking like it’s a sinus infection or I was dehydrated.  Water is usually attached to my hip at all times but it’s a thousand degrees lately so maybe not enough.   I got a lot of rest last week and I’m starting to feel about 75% back to normal so I’m looking forward to a great week!

Saturday Matt & I got up early and headed to the gym.  After the gym we spent the day at a local water park.  My company does a deal every year so we took full advantage!  I can’t say I did much other than float in the lazy river but it was such a great day to be by the water & something a little different than just being at the beach!

My mom came with the babies which was really fun.  It seemed that at all times someone had a mini me with them, Matt even got off the hook from being their #1 go to guy!

We floated around the lazy river literally all day but sprinkled in a round of go karts & laser tag.  Somehow all the adults lost laser tag to the kids, not sure if that’s a good thing or an embarrassment.

Between the sun & hanging with the babies all day we were wiped!  We headed out around 5 & grabbed some taco’s on the way home.  I can’t believe I yet again didn’t snap a picture!  If you haven’t been to Flaming Amy’s in Wilmington – you are missing out (laughing that I’ve only done food reviews of taco’s thus far on the blog).  Flaming Amy’s isn’t quite the “sit down restaurant” that K38 is so it’s more of quick service place.  They have a fresh salsa bar with a few standard tomato salsa’s and then some DELICIOUS specialities like my favorite – wasabi avocado, uh it’s so delicious (side note: why don’t i make this myself?!).  The queso is outta this world as well but we didn’t get any this time (maybe that’s why I wasn’t that full?) but we did both get chicken taco’s.

We ended up taking to the couch for the rest of the evening with a fixer upper marathon.  I can’t be the only person who is obsessed with this show?  They flip and reno farm style houses in texas – hello dream life!

Sunday was full of absolutely nothing.  We ate breakfast laying on the couch.  We watched the british open, we took naps, we ate every leftover imaginable from the fridge, burned every candle in the house.  It was blissfully lazy & perfect.

Love this brand of gel polish btw!

We had a really great heart to heart on Sunday that lead to me feeling more empowered than I ever have.   I won’t bore you with those details but I am truly so thankful to have found my partner and best friend in Matt.  He is my sounding board for everything & it really is amazing to have someone who you can trust to guide you in the right direction.   After talking with him I felt like I really got my confidence back.   I have always found myself to be one who gets lost in all the details & very easily overwhelmed.  This has caused me to always turn to others to help guide me and make the right decisions.  Though that has worked because I trust the people I have gone to it has made me really reliant on others.  You are truly the master of your own life & the direction you wish it to take.  You need to trust in yourself to make the right decisions for you – don’t get caught up in what everyone else is doing or what you think you’re supposed to do!  Trust in your own abilities to lead you in the right direction.  I am really excited about taking the reigns back!

I hope you have a wonderful week!  Tonight we golf!
