Unexpected Redemption

Surprise


I have no idea what to write.  Do you?

Yesterday I actually did get my run in.  Chickadee got up and was this ENgergizer bunny.  2 hours. Straight.  Whew.  I crawled back into bed, and Mr. Survival moaned, "Your alarm just went off."

I moaned too.

I decided there was no way.  I have to be responsible for other kids too.  And my behavior.  At least once in a while.

Then?  Miracle of miracles, there's a two hour delay for school.

I got my run.

I guess that's worth writing about.  Huh?  What about you?  Anything inexplicable lately that you're grateful for?  It's so nice to remember those this month.  When we're so busy, and so full of expectations.

    Way to go! I am glad that worked out for you - I haven't made it to a workout yet this morning, but Hubby is off and so the plan is to go later this evening.

    I know this is crazy but there's some stuff going on at my job and I got an email today that gave me hope. I really can't say much more than that. But you understand. That's what I love about this Season... it's all about redemption!

    You are one lucky ducky thats for sure. I got a telephony call that kicked me in to a good long walk and then stretching so my hip would knock it off thats two days straight for me.

It's Here

We got the moving truck rather unexpectedly. It's more expensive than Mr. Survival planned, so we're doing a lot of lifting, cardio, and squats. No. We're not doing the bootcamp in a trailer. We ARE moving things to the new garage, since we can't move in yet, but they're being kind enough to let us dump in a storage manner. Sorry. I'll have to beg your forgiveness and promise to update you. Eventually.

I Found True Happiness

It feels like I've become a detached voice, writing but not feeling on this blog.  I'm living a lot of things that don't fit neatly into my bloggable ownership file. Even now, I've spent an hour with this tab open to write a new post and I've done absolutely everything else possible.  For once I can't put a finger on what I'm feeling.  I don't fit into any definable box. On one hand, I'm spending an hour in therapy with Chickadee and another hour round trip three times a week. Mr. Survival is fighting off unemployment blues. We cannot shake things up and have me go to work. I'm not going to go to FitBloggin'11 . But, on the other hand, Chickadee is STANDING in the stander for minutes instead of seconds! Chickadee is grasping things momentarily for the first time in eighteen months. I'm so in love with Mr. Survival it's unbelievable. We are tighter as a family than we ever have been. I'm stressed and frustrated.  I...

Flying With Concrete

Today I wanted to write about my dreams. Full of hope and bliss and fulfillment. Yeah, I sound about as light as a bucket of cement. Ready to fly away. Hang on, while I toss out the top of the pile. Maybe that will help me find my lofty aspirations. Nope. Thing is, I'm remembering today that I'm afraid of heights. Really. Once Hubbend made me climb up three stories of scaffolding. Broke it all down for me and left me no other choice. Made me feel irreplaceable. Yes, we must remember that I am crazy friends. Leave it to me to feel important by being told to go up a towering structure of death. I did it though. And I even wired a speaker while I was up there. But I'm still afraid of heights. So. Do you wanna help me out today? For every comment that tells me something someone wants to be able to do that they can't do now I will do one minute of exercise. Really. Because of my child care situation, it will have to be tomorrow morning. So have at it. ...
