May was horrible. It was busy and stressful and I had a hard time finding things to write about because I was in a horrible mood most of the month and even if there were things to write about, I didn’t have time! I guess that’s where this blog comes in. I just got back from a little three day “mini-vacation”. It is the best thing I have done in a whole month. Sometimes to slow down and gain perspective, you just have to get away (no, this is not a Southwest Airlines commercial). The little man in my head was running around so furiously that he just couldn’t stop until he got punched out by a baseball game and a couple of cosmos with friends.
Here is a run-down of some stuff that helped calm my ass down.
1.Left town first thing in the morning after a rough 3 weeks. It was like I left right before my brain was going to explode. Best thing: No brain explosion.
2.Went straight to a baseball game. Best thing: No time to worry about all the stuff I left undone.
3.Went out with friends. Best thing: Adult conversation with like-minded, interesting and super funny people. My face hurt from smiling so much.
4.Ate Starbucks for breakfast TWICE. Best thing: Perfect oatmeal and strong coffee. I don’t think I have to explain how happy these two things make me. Happiness in paper cups, baby.
5.Worked out at the hotel. Best thing: No guilt about eating badly and having a few too many adult beverages.
6.Got hugs and love from a ten year old. Best thing: I’m pretty sure this child is on earth to make people feel loved and that’s what she did for me.
7.3 days with Jim without the stress of his work and mine. Best thing: Reminded me of how much fun we have together when I’m not being a raving lunatic.
I’m back home now and I can feel my little man gearing up, but he is definitely slower than he was just a few days ago. Hell, he probably got a stress fracture from over-exertion. My goal, in baseball terms, is to strike him out couple of times in the next couple of weeks and hopefully send him down to Triple A for the rest of the summer.
About Me
- kim
- I am 40. I'm not sure why that needs to be first, but it does. It seems to me that 40 is a good marker of one's experiences...you've had a lot of them and there are still a lot left! I want to be “better” at everything. I want to be a better person, a better wife, a better sister. I want to be smarter, healthier, and happier every day. I sometimes think that in the pursuit of all this I overlook really cool stuff in my life. So, this blog is a celebration of the cool stuff, however large or small.
