It’s the Thursday after Thanksgiving... so yes, a week after
Thanksgiving and today is the day I finally got back on track with that
healthy family affair I wrote about. Hey, a week is nothing compared to
the weeks it’s been since I’ve made it to the gym!
Crying has always been a release from me. More accurately it's been
an automatic release that's often left me wondering, "why am I crying?"
It's something I've never completely understood. I know my emotions and
hormones play a part.
Pregnancy changed my body. Birthing my baby girl changed my body.
Breastfeeding changed my body. Stopping breastfeeding changed my body.
Going back on birth control changed my body.
Time -
there is never enough of it. I don’t think anyone will disagree with
me. It’s something that’s always said. I’ve always said it.
I wish I could take back every time I said it. I never knew what I was talking about… until now.
Well, we didn’t sell our house as we wanted. We had it on the market
for over 60 days and had less than a dozen showings. We listed it as a
rental and took a dozen or more calls each day from people asking about
it. Within two weeks we had a signed lease with tenants to move in
during September.
We went to the first Denver County Fair at the National Western Complex
Friday night. The boys had a blast taking their little brother on
rides, and of course riding the big rides themselves. I think the most
fun they had were in these Hamster Water Balls. All I know is that if
we had these things at home they'd be nightly activity... ahh, how
quickly they'd go to bed after fun in these balls!
I took Squeak's to a friend's BBQ last weekend and for the first time I
thought, "I feel good. I am back." I am trying to organize myself more
and give myself actual writing goals. I'm good at 140 character
Tweets, but am not good at carving out time for longer writing. My goal
is one personal and one professional blog each week - wish me luck!
It never fails. I get flushed and swell with happiness when I am recognized through my husband,
Shawn Montano! I absolutely love introducing myself as, “Hi, I’m Shawn’s wife!”
