Im not dead.

Just really really busy.

We’ve been hitting dog shows every weekend and it’s put a crimp in my free time. Add to that working, end of year PTA festivities, Tri training, Yoga, children activities, seeing friends and being a mother — and I have been one busy girl.

My dad’s mental capacity is deteriorating and that has been playing on my mind a lot. It’s very hard to be in the sandwich generation and yet be a big cheese 3000 miles away. Add to that that my dad’s mom had a heart attack this past week and she has dementia and it just makes for a bad sitcom plot.

I just had my annual bloodwork and I am anemic again. Also, that kidney stone they said I didn’t have? Turns out I do have one. PTH is still high too so that means Im not getting enough of one of the minerals. So I am dealing with some health issues myself.

Exercise wise I have been doing really well. Especially considering that i have anemia again. This week has been slower. I have missed several workouts but I am ok with it. Truth is, time is simply short this week with everything i have going on. I’ll probably get in 2 or 3… and I will be ok with that number for this week. I am still doing Yoga and loving it. I am considering dropping the Tri and just picking up more yoga. Or i might do both and just not worry about how I am going to do in the tri. Just look at the tri as a 2 1/2 hour adventure and not a race. Can I mentally get there?

Work is going well. Busy but ok.

Denali took 2nd and 3rd place last weekend and Emma took first and second in her shows. Emma is doing really well. We are enjoying it. This weekend we are home with no dog shows but we will be on the dog show circuit again for another month the following weekend.

PTA is going ok. My heart just isn’t in it anymore. I’m weary of compromise and leadership. At this point, for me it’s just pushing through to the end. Im burnt out. Budgets, stupid people, meetings and obligations abound. Im so over it.

The weather today was chilly and I am sick of it. When the heck is summer going to shine her sunshine on us? I need some sunshine!

I’ve spent a lot of my free time lately mothering my children through various friendship issues. Seems all my children are dealing with learning different lessons about friendship, self confidence and leadership. Noah pointed out to me today that he doesn’t like working in a group because some people on his team think they are right all the time but they are not. Welcome.To.My.World.Kid.

Lots going on in this head of mine lately. Maybe I’ll try to actually write something meaningful this weekend.
