Walking. Long distances and short.
I've been trying to walk to work 2 times a week. Mother Nature is NOT suporting this goal, but I've still done it a few times. The strange thing: when I walk to work--about 2 miles--I feel great, happy, enjoy it. When I drive to work and get a parking spot at the far end of the lot--perhaps 120 yards--I get pissed off. I get to walk? YAY! I have to ( Read more... ) -
Twist my heart
I've been feeling the guilt of being a working mom. Apparently Eliza overheard my thoughts because last night when I had to wrap up a few things at home she crawled into my lap and said, "I miss Maria (her daycare provided).

But wait, it continues...today in Zumba I realize that this is the happiest I've felt all day. This is perhaps where I realize that all those exercise people who talked about endorphins and shit weren't totally full of it. (Don't get me wrong ( Read more... ) -
Christmas Countdown
Last night we had an amazing evening at the Lake Compounce holiday festival. Some of the kid rides were running and the park was decorated with magical, sparkling lights. Lots of fun. Plus super bonus--free thanks to some amazing friends and season pass holders ( Read more... ) -
Peace
Stephen's father passed away Monday morning. I suppose it wasn't a huge shock--he has battled this neurological deterioration for 13 years. We knew it left him fragile. But Sunday he wasn't any more ill than typical. I might still be in shock. I don't know. It's all feeling very surreal and difficult and confusing. His mother stayed with us Monday ( Read more... )
