coming up for air
man, the last two weeks have really flown by. perhaps that's a side effect of getting too little sleep. i've completely gone underwater with almost everything, so if you're someone who depends on me for something i apologize in advance. i seem to be getting a little bit done of everything, and having an inability to focus on any one thing for any significant time. that is about to change.
i need to get the house in order; not to be a supermom, or a superwife, but to be sane. i function best when the house is in a good place. chris does so much, and even though i help it is maintenance, not improvement. i need to get off my butt. i've got curtains to hem, a basement to get un-screwed, and a pantry that needs serious organizational assistance.
i need to get my body in order. it's tied into the above - when the house is out of sorts i feel terribly guilty about spending any of my already short time (since really, alex is first :D) on exercising. the wii-fit is a lot of fun, but i don't even get to that a lot. we're doing walks after work, but i need to do more. more cardio and endurance training, and most importantly more actual time on my skates. i really really want to get into the league, and the only way to do it is to find some time. plus i really want to wear the rest of the clothes in my closet.
i need to stay connected to the things that make me, me. unfortunately i have a lot of those, so many have fallen into disrepair. i have not sewn in months, and i only knit about once a week these days. computer stuff is easier - i can nurse at the keyboard, after all. it will get better (and worse, i'm sure) but i need to stop stressing about it.
the dogs are good. poor sadie though had a wicked ear infection, and her teeth were just... gross. we are not good at brushing them :( but we got it all taken care of when we put her in for boarding over the holiday weekend. poor thing.
all is well - that's just what's in my head at the moment. it had to come out. i really want to start posting daily again, posting little details of my day so i don't forget. i've got a terribly craptastic short term memory - it helps to be able to look back to a solid clue to what a portion of my day was.
www.turnerhq.com needs updating - alex is awesome and there's some new pictures there, and more that i've uploaded but not linked. i'll do that later on today/tonight. maybe.
