What's On My Mind

I have a few things that are just circling my mind lately. Silly things (and, well, some that are not so silly to me), some exciting things, some that are pointless, etc... This is just what is going on with me right now. I am a worrier - I obsess over things - I drive my family crazy sometimes - and I try really hard not to take it all too seriously. Right now I am obsessing over:

1. A Pierce family vacation that is happening in approximately 3 months! It is super exciting because Ben, Lynette, Jeff, and I have a hard time coordinating schedules and planning a vaca together - this year it worked out!! We will be flying into Atlantis. Staying  aboard this beauty...

And spending a week island hopping down to our favorite little spot in the Bahamas known as Green Turtle Cay. 

2. I am dying to sell our home. We have several showings a week and it is wearing me out. Would someone just buy it already?!

3. On a similar note to #2, I am worrying about where we should move next. Suburb or city? I grew up in Collierville (a great suburb of Memphis) but I love East Memphis. I cannot decide. I feel like it is such a huge decision because we plan to stay in this next house for a long time, and this move will more than likely determine where we raise a family. East Memphis has adorable houses built in the 50's that are full of character. Collierville has lovely houses (with pools) and 2-3x the square footage as E. Memphis homes. Such a tough decision. Jeff's says we don't have to worry about it until our house is under contract. I guess he is right.

4. I have the greatest family ever. I love being from a large Italian family. How many times can I say that, right? But I really love them. We just had another cousin dinner and it was great! I love them all!

5. I don't want to have my appendix out. Period. Last month when I had appendicitis my doctor chose to treat with antibiotics and take the appendix out at a later date. This gave me the opportunity to have a laprascopic surgery instead of a huge abdominal surgery. Which I am grateful for. But now I feel fine and don't really want to go back to the hospital for surgery. And here are my reasons: financially, time off of work (that could interfere with my plans for that great vacation I talked about in #1), just having surgery and being in the hospital again, and most importantly it will postpone our fertility treatments (this is really my big reason). So, that is why I don't want the surgery. I'm going to discuss with my MD at my next appointment. 

Okay, so that is about it. I am totally consumed with mostly #1, #2/3, and #5. I know I need to refocus and just roll with it. Trust me, I am trying!
