Is it Nirvana?

So….  There are 3 big things and about 100 little things that contributed to the overload I experienced a few weeks ago.  The 100 things are the things that everyone deals with on a daily basis…  mine just kept overflowing what I call my ‘frustration cup’ because of the impact of the 3 big things……

Yes!

It is now 2 am, and I am SORE!!  I did not do a tape or ‘canned’ workout today… But I did exercise. For hours. I swam in the pool with my son for about 5 hours.  We played.  A lot.  We had such a good time. My mom, my son, my husband and me……

Thankful

There have been a lot of things lately that I am not thankful for.  Last year just about destroyed me…  This year started off with my son accidentally breaking my nose…  Then my husband and I got this horrible chest cold that lasted about 3 weeks…  then as I finally started to get over that,…

Did I do that?

I don’t know if this happens in every family – but it ALWAYS happens in mine when new people are introduced and we are all gathered…. The childhood ‘funny’ stories all come out. What I would really like to know though, is… didn’t anyone else but me do all of the bad, embarrassing, funny things???…

Labor Day

Wow – what a great weekend! We had a lot of family come in town and while it seemed a little hectic at times – it was fun.  Great weather here this weekend!  Lots of pool time and against my better judgment – shopping time…  Seriously – I will not go to a mall again…

Getting ready for week 2

We had a pretty good weekend.  My husband and I spent a lot of time making sure that we were consistent with our son.  We implemented the new ‘Star’ system… I made magnets with stars on them and we put them on the refrigerator.  My son gets 2 rows of stars, my husband and I…

weekend

What a weekend.  As I sit here at 3 am – I am so spent! Sometimes when I work out I feel so good, and then there are times where – I find it hard to make it past 30 minutes!!  inevitably though, I can feel the effects of the workouts!  Not just the fact…
