Responsible? Since when?

I am up to my neck in life! I was lying in my bed last night thinking about all the things on my plate and it hit me. I am so busy putting the needs of other before my own and I am okay with that. Such is life right?.

I am in the process of moving (again!) and I needed to find the right house, not the perfect house, just one where I can maintain, live and relax. I realized that I am working practically the entire summer. I had one Friday off after school ended and summer school ends two weeks before school starts (but the week before school I have to report to work) so, that only leaves me one week. WOW! It could be worst. I thought I was going to spend my summer at the beach and maybe go visit my brother in California but...Such is life. I could be unemployed and homeless so, with that in mind I would rather be responsible and tired.

I have three children.
I have a mother.
I have a 7 year old Pom.
I have 4 Beta fish.
I have friends.
I have love (not romantic, no juicy post upcoming).
I have life.

Thirty In the City: June 2011

Thirty In the City features "The Thirty Girls" out and about, doing what we do, wearing what we wear, living how we live!

ATTENDING A COMPANY DINNER







DANCING THE NIGHT AWAY @ a THEMED PARTY

Unwell? Increasingly so.

I was working out Sunday afternoon in the park and I caught sight of this couple. They were running and playing, having a great time enjoying each other's company. One started to rub the back of the other and I felt...irritated by the sight of this. It truly bother me that I was letting the sight of a squirrel couple get to me. YES!, you read that correctly the couple that was irritating the snot out of me belonged to the animal kingdom. Squirrels. They were flaunting their love for each other in my face and all I could think about was that I truly wished my dog, Cubby, was like a regular dog. I wanted him to chase that squirrel couple, to break up their love feast, to scare the "squirrel nuts" (idk made it up)out of them.

This month makes six months that I've been separated with no chance of reconciliation and it SUCKS! it is on my mind constantly, not reconciliation but moving on. I want to go to sleep and it not be on my mind. I want to wake up and it not be on my mind. I want to have a discussion about short-term and long-term goals and it not be on my mind.

So, is it that I am lonely or is it...? I don't know what it is. Maybe I'm going crazy.

Weight Watchers

Tonight I weighed in and...I am back to the weight I was when we started the program. It is so very bitter sweet. After six months I of course expct to weigh less and I don't but I have lost the pounds I packed on for various reason which is just as good, if not better. I also have figured out what works for me and what doesn't so, hopefully the scale will continue to go down.



Weight Watchers Walk It 5K

How did that 5k go? Well, Q and I thought that the 5K would be...Awesome and it was!

We got up early (which is usually a problem for me, drove to Sarasota, pinned on our numbers and did our thing.

After the race I felt like I caught the bug and that I would compete in many races...I haven't signed up for one yet. Wonk, wonk! I know and I think I will blame that on circumstances and say that I would love to particupate in another race.

After the race I had a few technical issues. I made sure that I was very well hydrated before the race but I don't think I ate enough or drank enough after. I had a massive headache and my felt like it started to shut down. I couldn't keep my head up. I ended up taking a four hour nap after I ate and drank a very non-healthy lunch but I needed to do something. Lesson learned!
