Whoa.
I remember when I had newborns.
It was a hot mess of awesome and miserable.
I kind-of feel like I’m back there again… sans dirty diapers, 3 a.m. feedings, and post-birth cramping.
O.K. It’s not been as hard as bringing home a newborn, BUT STILL.
I’m not going to list off what has or has not been happening. I know I am not the busiest, nor the stressed-est.
But busy and stressed are certainly words I would use.
And exhausted.
Dear mercy.
I made me exercise 3 days in a row just so my exhausted would feel more *earned*, and now I am exhausted AND sore.
RATIONAL is not a word I would use to describe my life the last number of weeks.
Here’s a wrap-up:
We have a puppy. Kevin is adjusting.
Lucy turned 8.
I wore green.
My dad is a rockstar at triple bypass recovery. It’s hard to tell which one of us was recovering…
Olivia did GREAT at her choir concert.
We had a surprise visitor too… His name is Russ. Flat Russ… Lucy and I took him to the gym, Target, and to lunch at Central Market…
And at the typing of this post, I’m in Dallas for BLISSDOM! It’s like a bouquet for my heart. But have I ever told you I hate flying???
How about my husband… I’ve just talked about me. That man is a saint. A quiet, unrecognized SAINT. He has been really holding down the fort in all of this and I am a blessed woman to have hooked up with that guy for all my life.
Last but not least….
