Welcome 2010

I took a little blogger sabatical and I really don't know why?

Probably the craziness of life and the lack of time.

I am gonna pull a little David Letterman top 10....reasons for not blogging the last 6 months...

10. I spent so much time on Facebook, my fingers needed a break. I am totally addicted to Facebook especially cuz I can get it on my phone. Find me and add me as a friend...

9. Husband started school this past August in Salt Lake City and I have been single Mom in Boise for 5 nights a week. After working my full-time job at the hospital and then full-time Mommy gig...I was too tired to blog.

8. The dog ate my computer?!?! No not really, but I did have to put my dog of 12+ years to sleep. BTW: not fun...very sad!

7. My computer got the H1N1 virus and we had to put it in quarantine. FYI: The family all got their shots!

6. No really, moved my oldest son up into the bonus room and lost my area where I work on the computer and do the occasional sewing and/or scrapbooking....total bummer! He digs his new room.

5. I was in mourning over the death of MJ, you know the song "Dirty Diana" is really about me?!?!

4. Post race blues...is there such a thing? You train and train, your event gets here, and then there is nothing to train for. Not sure exactly what the correct terminology is so I am going with post race blues or post race depression.

3. I crossed the finish line back in June and had this overwhelming desire to go to Disneyland.

2. I was really depressed that Tiger stopped texting and calling so I moved to Florida to hunt him down with a golf club.

1. Life was just not so good, so it was time to prioritize and blogging wasn't even on the list. I know not so funny, but the truth.

2010 is here and resolutions have been made. I have not set any goals for myself other than stay healthy and take care of myself both emotionally and physically. Time is precious and with so little of it dedicated to me...I need to make the most of it.

I have found that writing does make me feel better and allows me to express those things that I just can't tell to children under the age of 7. Humor is good as well, for laughter is the best medicine.

The bottom line is that I love to smile and do things to make others smile. It is unfortunate that I have not smiled that much in the last 6 months. I have been way too serious and it is time for change. Not the Obama type of change, but the healing type of change.

So today bought a new NordicTrack Treadmill for the garage that will sit next to the borrowed bike trainer. Before I can take care of others (kids, husband, patients) I need to take care of myself. I need to be a little selfish because my emotional tank is so totally empty. I need to find ways to refuel it. So hopefully more exercise will be involved as well as eating healthy and of course pounding out my feelings on this qwerty keyboard of mine. Stay tuned....

Here is the family...this picture makes me smile.
I am thankful for such a wonderful family!
