Why do I feel like every day i'm "waiting" for something? What am I waiting for? I feel an impatience. I feel a longing. I feel like I'm anticipating something. A change of some sort. The feeling of anticipation makes me feel antsy, unsettled and anxious, and unsatisfied. I shuffle papers and toys around, and then shuffle them again to a different spot. I can't settle. I long to settle.
Ugh.

Ups and Downs
Its hard, this life, sometimes.
Ups and downs. Ins and outs. I guess that just comes with the territory.
Last year was an incredible year. But in reference to one of my last posts (yes, it has been that long ago.....) I have a little update:
First of all, I didn't run the 1/2 marathon in February. Being a stay at home mom with two young children just isn't conducive to regular exercise unless you have a regular schedule. We have a "regular" schedule full of irregularities. So therefore, it did not happen. BUT - update on that - Joey AND Delaney both head to school at the end of next week, so starting next week, I train for my first official 1/2 marathon that will take place the first weekend of October. Yes, yes - not a lot of time to train, but I know I can do it. If anything, October is my trial run for my next half - the St Jude in December. :) I'm ready to start! I'm hoping that I'm injury free completely and fresh-legged by next week. I'm relaxing this week so that I can fully recover from strains and stresses of switching shoes numerous times in the last few months. This has caused me much pain.
Second - we DID in fact visit NYC in October. And it was all I could ever expect, and more. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip, as I was able to have some time to myself to roam the city solo. And then once I was through being solo, I went duo with Joe when he was out of his meetings. Perfect! And my Aunt Julie happened to be visiting a day or two while we were there as well, and we met up for more explorations with her. Wonderful time!
And third - the performance for music thingy never really panned out, but that's alright. The more I think about it, the more I really don't think its for me. I was planning to pull out some delta music by my brother in law, but now that he has moved back to Mississippi, I would want HIM to do his OWN music for the show. And rightfully so. He would kill it, and I wouldn't be able to do it justice.
This year has been a busy one indeed. Loving life, but ready for a hiatus refresher. Trying to plan a getaway for a friend and me to take place within the next few weeks. My glass is empty. Its time to fill it back up with quiet and restoration. If she cannot go with me, I'm flying solo as I best know how.
Joey and Delaney are growing like weeds. Beautiful flowers, more like. Enjoying them more everyday, and the challenges that parenthood throws our way.
Joe is fantastic. He's amazing, simply. I grow in love with him more every day.
More soon....... so I hope.
