Where to start...

I am not sure today! It's not a bad day, but it's not the best day, maybe just a blah day.....do you ever have those days? Nothing stands out as great, but nothing as terrible either. Brooks and I had fun last night. We went to the Melting Pot and it was delicious!! If you have never been, I highly recommend!! Also, I recommend that you don't do the whole meal....the past couple of times we have gone we have only gotten a salad (which they have the BEST dressing that I have ever found), then we do the cheese fondue, and then we get the chocolate fondue. We have found that this way you are not stuffed by the time the chocolates come, but yet you are still full when you leave. This is also, $50 cheaper than getting the "Big Night Out"....I don't like meat that much anyways, so Brooks usually eats most of the meats when we do the whole meal, so it is well worth just getting 3 for us. Afterwards we went to Concord Mills and did some shopping and Brooks even tried to get me to get a new pocketbook because I am still carrying a summer one (which I even hate to admit out loud) and I said no, so you should be impressed.

I am so glad that today is the last day, that I can say to myself.....this time last week everything was ok. I kind of lost it a little bit last night when we saw the stupid Motherhood Store. I am not sure why because I dislike this store and I think its too expensive for what they have, I guess it was the simple fact that I don't have a need for that store right now and I felt myself being bitter!

So what have we accomplished this weekend.....the house is clean, the car is washed, yard work is done, we had a date, we watched Remember Me (it was sad and not what I expected), we were together as a family, and the one that sticks out the most....we are 3 more days beyond this experience. So what is the agenda for the week....well, work everyday, soccer games M-Th, then it will be the weekend again. Decisions to make about next weekend...go to the beach, maybe? Go to the corn maze, maybe? Carowinds, maybe? Either way we have fun things to look forward to next weekend, which is the way I like it. I don't like not having a plan or not being busy because then I am forced to sit here and dwell and right now I don't want that.

So today's entry, is not the best....nothing great to say, nothing cute that rhymes, just nothing. Tomorrow's entry will be much brighter and upbeat for tomorrow is our "dating" anniversary and I plan on taking a stroll down memory lane! So tune in tomorrow for something much better than today! Hope you have a great week and know that we love you!

My DEBT secret confusion!

This is my dirty little secret confusion that I would have been humiliated to share this time last year, BUT I am very excited to share the Dertings LIFE changing year with you today......(although there is still a HUGE part of me that can't believe I am getting ready to share this with the world considering NO ONE has known about this) One year ago, TODAY, we were going to TN to celebrate Bryson's Birthday a little early at Wilderness of the Smokies...it was also his Valentine's Dance at school and I was pretty excited for the weekend to begin......BUT then Brooks called me at work and said to call him immediately.... I did and my HUGE secret was out and honestly it felt like a burden had been lifted off my shoulders although I could hear the anger in his voice and I honestly didn't know if he would divorce me or not........but it felt good knowing that the lies were out and OVER! I had always balanced our checkbook and had always been in charge of the money b/c ...

My relationship with running....

Running has never been my friend, never been something I LONG to do....honestly it annoys me greatly...I saw a girl at a 5k with a shirt that said, "I hate running".....I laughed and thought how perfect that shirt would be for me! I registered for the Disney 1/2 marathon for January.....I saw several people running 1/2s and full marathons several months back and it gave me the urge to want to set that as a goal....I have only, EVER, run 5ks and I don't do those very well. I have learned through this running journey that when it comes to exercise I am mentally WEAK! I decided that if I was going to torture myself with one of the top 5 ranked goals of my life thus far....it was going to be in a place worth a celebration in the end....so I searched tropical locations and Disney....I soon learned races are way more pricey than local 5ks and if I was going to commit I wanted the kids to get some fun out of it too....so I pondered and waited until registration opened in April...

a coach’s wife.

 post #4 of #6 for the 2023 year.  this topic is going to be touchy, not well received-i am certain by some-and possibly controversial. thats your warning.... i make blog posts for an outlet, started 13 years ago as a healing outlet, lead to a sharing outlet, has dwindled over the years, but the purpose has ALWAYS been the same...an outlet.  i want to start this one with a few pieces of background knowledge 1-because i am not new to this rodeo and 2-because i have learned over the years and reflected on situations that lead me to believe i have decent knowledge of this topic .. i am mostly a soccer mom...also a tennis mom and a cheer mom, but mostly a soccer mom (no secret in that), but before i was that. i was AND still am a coach’s  wife. you see brooks has coached longer than we have been married. he has coached for 20 years.....20 STRAIGHT years....its not like here or there or a fill in, its not like a season a year, its like multiple seasons a year, multiple te...
