summer in progress

Hello out there! Every single post I type, I say to myself, I am going to post more often, but then I forget or really don’t have anything going on. But, that isn’t true at all, we have a lot going on – all the time.

Since my half marathon, training has continued. I am not getting to run as much as I normally do because the kids are home with me and well, that really puts a crimp in my running style. I get in two runs a week, maybe 3 if I get off my ass on a Sunday. Once the kids get back into their schedules, I’ll be able to rack up some mileage again.

Our summer has been indeed splendid. My birthday was fantastic. I turned 39… thirty-nine! I have never felt better about myself that I do the day I turned 39. I did so much this last year for me and my health. I accomplished goals that I never thought would ever be possible. My kids are amazing, smart, funny, pains in the ass, gorgeous creatures. There is no better compliment in the world when people tell you what a fantastic job you are doing raising your kids. Who doesn’t love hearing how great you doing at your job? It makes my heart esplode.

We had friends visit from Colorado and it was the best week. We did everything you could.Maine.Beach.Boston.Lobster. We laughed hysterically and had good wine & conversation.

This is what life is all about. Enjoying each day to the fullest. Embracing the family, the friends, the friends that are your family. Laughing til you cry. At the end of the day, finding that one little thing that made you smile and lock it away in your memory box.

It’s Monday. It’s a new week, almost a new month. Enjoy !!
