Back to jingling
After pulling a muscle in my back earlier this week I was finally able to go back to the gym to Zumba today, or as my daughter calls it jingly butt Wednesday. After not going for over a week I feel lethargic and tired all the time. Can't wait for those endorphins to start pumping again so I can feel like the new me felt two weeks ago. No wonder I just used to sit around and be tired all the time, this is no fun. I always used to dread exercising and now I look forward to it. Plus, the people at the gym are so much fun and I've made some really good friends there.
Not too exciting today, but I'm trying to get back in the habit of posting more regularly so please pardon the mundane rambling :-)

Happy December, I'm still here
It's been a while... things have been a little crazy around here. I'll post more details as things settle down but here's a list of why I haven't been here:
#1. My best friend's father died and it's really just been hard.
#2. My son had a skateboarding accident and sustained a head injury - he's on the mend now, but it was scary for a bit
#3. Another friend's father died and my heart is breaking for my two friends (and feeling selfish each time I hug my own Dad)
#4. My sister's 33 year old brother in law died unexpectedly the week before Thanksgiving.
#5. I've driven 2200 miles up and down I-95 in the past 6 weeks mostly for funerals
Trying to come out of my funk and stop crying at the drop of a hat. Wishing there was something I could do to make my friends and family feel better about their recent losses but knowing nothing I can say will take away the pain.
I just felt like I had to acknowledge my absence and get a few of these things written out to help myself move forward too.

For the time capsule…
We have a teenager in our house. This means there is essentially a stranger living here part time. Sometimes I know the kid who walks through the door and sometimes he is an unrecognizable bundle of hormones and attitude. I love this kid more than life itself and sometimes it can get a little stressful around here. We also have a 9 year old in the house, she also has her whiny moments but I do recognize her, most of the time, for NOW. While at lunch the other day she told me to turn on the video camera because she had something to say:
So tune in again to see how this is all going because I will replay this on March 23, 2015 just as we agreed :-)
