A New Era

A new era emerged over the weekend at my place with the arrival of my treadmill. For years and years, I secretly longed for one and finally it became a reality. I am the type that treadmills were designed for, if it's there I will use it, if not, I won't make any extra effort, especially going to a gym. But my very own has it's own attraction. Today, with the time change I missed critical time as I overslept and waited to get the boys off to school before making my way to my new machine. I love it.

Hence my sore legs. I already developed my own routine and am kinda pissed I buy add-ons. Wish me luck.

Halloween Hangover

I woke at 6 am aghast and in a panic. Fuck. I rushed into my boys rooms in a loud voice waking them up. Shit. I am late, so fucking late. I woke the older one first and the little one last to make shower time work. Fuck. I quickly made a cup of caffeine knowing I would not have a moment to drink it. You think Hot Husband would help out. He was in his own delirious sleep, so no. I am going to rename him Warm Husband. He is quickly losing his "Hot" title.

I left my house with a grape jelly sandwich in one hand, my purse and keys in the other and two kids beds littered with candy. What am I going to do with all that candy? I am going to invent a Elf who comes in early November collecting candy for children who miss out on Halloween and donate my boys candy for the cause. Of course he will come during the day when they're at school.

Even though I did not consume one ounce of alcohol last night, I have a hangover. I am tired beyond belief, a slight headache and a bad case of the yuck yucks. Hence the Hangover. Have a good day. J

Miraculous Moat

There comes a point in life when you let down your defence system and just accept your life. It's like when you were a teenager and the bad boy liked you but not for the reasons you hoped. But you snuck in one date anyway. Well, that's how I feel today. I am letting down my moat and just accepting what comes over the bridge.

I am resigned to the fact that life sometimes sucks and I just have to suck it up too. Who would have told you that marriage is not all rosy and very challenging at times? Not my mother, she's dead. Not the Does! They all have their own challenges. It's a life lesson, as Oprah would say.

Cheers to a day of letting down the moat!
