Chins up.

Lately everything has been wrong.   After a long stretch of good times, home runs, and squeaking by I started a little ahem, bad streak. I hate to call it bad luck.  Most of witch I have whined about, some I can't whine about, and some I'll whine about later. I am finding myself stressed, and pissy a lot. I don't like that at all. Not only all of that now NOW I have a wrinkle. shiiiiiiit. Yep my baby face is creased,  whatever at least I got some wit to back up my character right? So I am working on my positive mojo. Let's review and spin it in the right direction shall we?

Things are slowly improving, we are sort of getting back into a routine as a family since little dude's surgery. There maybe some mommy withdrawls happening, sighting the unsightly ankle biter attached to me every spare minute but it IS getting better.  This morning the older one gave the smaller one a new toy just to be nice, small things like that make me happy.

As for my job and settling, eh it's there. I do have about 50 million senior citizen buddies now. Ha! So I guess it pays to work your fanny off, team gray BeaverCounty has my back. I try to serve others to the best of my ability, golden rule stuff. It's fun to meet new people, and I still sort of get to maintain some work relationships. So I guess it has its moments, the day sure goes fast! I miss my coworkers a lot though.

The fittness level is still there, at a nice moderation right now enough to burn calories and stress not enough time for ouchies and overuse fun like chaffe. I plan on a turkey trot coming up, my annual holiday with my Kenyan bud, I plan to wear a stuffed turkey on my head. I love to be absurd, I love turkey, and silly is good for my soul. I have been too serious about everything lately I plan on really being an sillyass.  It maybe time to start planning a big race for next year to look forward to, I know I said probably no marathon but I think maybe I just am a marathoner now. I still maintain never have run a half marathon yet.

The diet? Oh yeah,  um my scale batteries have died about a little over a week ago. I think I have lost a few since my halloween candy parent taxing, but I don't know. The scale takes these goofy batteries that I don't know where to find so I am working on that. And there is now where in public to strip to skin to weigh in so that will have to wait.  I will say my clothing is the smallest it's ever been.  *big toothy grin*  I am getting more comfortable with myself, I think I could still stand to loose a few though. I get a lot of complements from people, it's strange to hear someone who doesn't know me from before call me "tiny" it makes me want to school them on the last 4 years. I am not tiny, I am still over weight by a few pounds.

Friends? I have some of the best friends ever. As my life has gotten complicated my friends have extended their selves, just an example my  mom had to go to the hospital unexpected and 2 of my bffs ever each took turns sitting with my kids so I could be there with her until I knew she would be alright. It's hard when the hubbs is in the busy season and mom is usually my help. It was overwhelming how cared for I felt. I am lucky and thankful. (ps mom's all better now thank god).

I refuse to let this year end on a bad note. I may be going through a rough patch but I refuse to let it stay that way. I think this year needs to end on a high note and that friends is what I am working for. Insert cliche here about lemonade.  So Chins up, shoulders back, gut in, boobs out. Okay maybe boobs in. ;)
Onward friends.
