Oh, how I miss writing! I have so little time these days between work, playing taxi driver to the kids getting them to all their activities - golf, track, theater rehearsal, sporting events, etc., social time with friends, family time, and my personal time (wait, what's that?) Because of all these things, this poor little neglected blog has taken a back burner. Ok, let's face it, this thing isn't even on the stove or on the kitchen for that matter! Update: I started to write this post during the school year when the kids had more activities. Now, I really only have to be home so they can go swimming or to take my son to the golf course. "Hurry up, Mommmmm!"

I'm not complaining (much) because the kids are mostly happy and well adjusted (oh dear lord, I hope!) and they make hair dye to cover up all the grey hairs I accumulate trying to fit it all in. Of course, I must make time for that appointment, too.....

It's funny how life works... one friend takes a smaller place in your life and new friends come in. The best friend is always there and I love her for it and I miss her always (enough to make me cry regularly) and I can't wait to see her in just 22 days!!! I wish we lived closer to each other so we could go for a coffee or a run (we both like to run alone but we could run alone, together, and help each other through rough times. Also, I made another new friend recently and found out that she has a blog and y'all know how obsessed I am with reading blogs (when I have time!) She's fun, cute, and exciting and I think we are a little bit alike. (I hope if she reads this, she's not offended.)

I'm sad these days. I can't quite put a finger on it and it's not debilitating but I just feel, well, sad. I know part of the reason is my unhappiness with my health and I hate that I'm not strong motivated enough to do what it takes. I know WHAT to do and HOW to do it; it's just me needing to get the motivation to actually DO it. Actually,

It feels good to write even though it's not my best post. Sometimes I worry too much about writing the perfect post and I think that's stopped me from posting many times in the past. So, I am sitting at my desk in a quiet office (everyone else went out to lunch) so I can take a few moments of uninterrupted time for myself and write. And it feels good.
