I'm still alive!

It has been a long time since I've blogged. I'd love to start this post by saying "I'm going to start blogging weekly, here!" But I'm not even going to go there. That's similar to my New Years Resolution of "I'm cutting all sugar out of my diet" (and was noshing on dark chocolate by January 2). Or when I said "I'm going to foam roll and do stretches EVERY morning immediately upon getting out of bed" -- Whereas I've found those 10 minutes much more useful spent with the covers over my head in bed....

But I'm going to try. There's nothing wrong with trying.

So since I've last really blogged, the following in my life has changed:

-Ryan is going to officer school and flight school soon to become a pilot for the Air Force (part time)
-I have obtained my dream job and landed a position in the ER
-This weekend I will go through 18 hours of training to become an ACE certified Fitness Instructor through Les Mills!
-I have given up on gardening. I did get 2 lucious little Roma Tomatoes, and some nice herbs. Otherwise, cacti is my new friend. My schedule is non-compatible with gardening.

So many changes all at once, but it's good. I was tired of saying "I wish I could be this" or "It would be so cool if I could do that" -- I finally stopped waiting for life & timing to be convenient, and just went for it!

So hopefully if I stick to my word and continue to blog, I can tell you about the craziness behind becoming a fitness instructor after this weekend's events. And If I have to hear the song "My Cherona" (techno version) or "Rock that Body" -- I am probably going to lose my mind. (these are 2 of the songs in my release for this class I'm learning to teach)

So if you hear on the news about fitness instructor gone mad. It's not Richard Simmons. It was probably me. ;)

Happy Friday to all!

Currently - May edition

   I haven't blogged much - but the last time I did one of these, Maddy was 9 months old. It's really fun looking back on the things that were "stressors" to me at that time. Prior to that - my currently post was a pregnancy edition.  So here goes May 2022. Maddy is almost a 15-month old and summer has set ablaze here in Tucson.   Reading :  I really wish I had a better answer for this one, but I have not been the best about reading lately. The only book I'm reading is "How to talk to your kids so they'll listen and listen so they'll talk". It is really good. Most of the book is geared more to school-aged kids, in my opinion. But it highlights some great communication skills with children to help them trust you as a parent to be open and honest. Eating: All the smoothies. It has been getting really hot here - and every day when we get home from our stroller run I make a smoothie for Maddy with whole milk, Fage, and fruit - and then a smoothie for...

ABC

We are home from a wonderful, extended-weekend-getaway to Omaha. It was filled with family, relaxations, and greatness. I will do a more detailed recap on it soon! In the meantime, I'm doing this ABC bit that I stole from my cousin 's blog! Also, no -- I did not get switched to days.

Chore you dislike: Cleaning the shower - especially dealing with hard-water stains. Lime away=ouch D. Dogs: Really really really really really dislike. Really dislike. Sorry.

Pandemic Pregnancy

Dearest Sebastian,  This will be a more sobering letter, but I don't think I can write about my pregnancy without addressing the big elephant in the room.  I write this letter to you in grave hopes that by the time you're old enough to read these letters, COVID-19 is something you read about in your history books. However, by the time you're taking history classes, I am sure you won't have textbooks. I'm sure some robot will tell you about it.  I hope that you go to a busy, bustling school with activities, contact sports, and choir. (all things that currently don't exist). I hope you had a childhood where you could play tag. (currently banned). I hope you have school pictures where you are making faces at the camera that is not hidden behind a mask. But given the current state, your mama is not so sure what kind of world she is bringing you into. At this point, all I can tell you is that I promise your Dad and I will travel with you and make life as special as w...
