Whooaaa is me.... & Greek Salad!

I am driving myself crazy!  I really have to focus more on my praying to the Lord to help me every day.  I like to be busy and since we've moved my life has become almost stagnant.  The weather lately isn't helping any at all.  It's done nothing but snow.  I  know that I have to get my mind set right and I am just struggling.  What do you do to help you get through a winter that just won't seem to go away?  When we lived in Spokane I was a SAHM (stay at home mom), ran my own business, President of my MOMS Club, Event Coordinator for a local non-profit, Meal Co-ordinator for our Church and not to mention being a wife and just every day life with field trips and PTSA meetings & volunteering in my son's class. That was a typical day for me...finding the time to get all of that done along with housework, cooking, dogs, etc.  Now...  I don't do any of those things.  I feel like I've gone from 1,000/hour to stop.  There were days that were stressful but I love it.  I know I can't expect to be as busy as I was there, after all it did take me time to get there, but something would be good.
I have started my own event planning business here (just starting it) but I am finding the normal networking that I am used to just isn't the same here.  So what worked in Spokane isn't working here.
I looked for another MOMS Club here and there is one that is just being started, but the lady isn't so good at responding. So I started my own Moms Group, which has picked up in conversation today so that's a plus.
We are still in the process of finding a church that we feel is "home".  I signed up to be on the PTA here, but have yet to hear back.
Perhaps you can start to see/feel my frustrations.  I have my family here and that's great, but it doesn't keep me busy.

Ok enough of my whining!
Hubby's surgery is scheduled for May 1st.  I pray that when all is said and done he feels like a new man.  I know it's been hard on him (not only physically) but mentally as well.  He can't really do anything physical at all.  He lucked out not having to shovel this year.  LOL!

There is a restaurant here in Anchorage, Guidos and this is their Greek Salad.  Now if you live here in Anchorage and have never had one of these salads, then you truly do NOT know what you are missing out on!  (Their pizza is pretty darn good too!)  The in house made dressing is what (in my opinion) totally makes this salad!  Stop by and try it for yourself and let me know what you think!
