Reversal

Let me preface this by saying this is not a negative thing, just sort of funny!

My life has reversed 5 years. I am waiting tables, driving a Mustang, and today went to the doctor to get some acne medication... apparently I am 22 again!

The doctor told me that some women get a reprieve from acne in the mid twenties and need meds again after 35, but I am not so lucky... hmmpf. The only thing keeping me clear over the past 5 years has been pregnancy. So I decided that hormones are weird and I would like to not look like I am 15 again, so meds it is.

They finally came and picked up John's company car. Now I am driving my sister's old Mustang. It makes me miss the green one a little, then I realized how quickly it ate gas and I was over it again.

And my feet are achy, my lower back is stiff, and I smell like food... but I have cash in my pocket, and I have missed that a lot!

The girls seem to be adjusting to me being away pretty well. Granted it is only a few hours in the evenings a few days a week, but still an adjustment. John has actually taken to Mr. Mom pretty well. I think he enjoys the time with them. :)

I'm glad to hear that things are working out. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. I totally hear you about the acne thing. I'm not totally broken out but I get a few more spots than I have for a long time - pregnancy and nursing kept them at bay for six years.

And I loved your menu for the week! Gotta love that frozen food :)

I remember bumping my head in the backseat of that green mustang cuz the window was angled so acutely! Didn't know it was a gas guzzler though. . . And I remember helping you study for your Chile's tests!! What a circle for you:) Glad God provided!
