Im in the final days of the end of the school year here. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel! It’s been a crazy few months and I am so looking forward to summer. There is sunlight this morning… could this be mother nature telling us that summer is right around the corner in the Pacific NW? Please?
We heard from our Handler’s on Friday and Denali has won 3 of the last 4 shows he’s been in. YIPEE! So we are very happy about that. The big deal now is that we need him to win “major” shows. This means that they are big shows. To get his championship he needs to accrue 15 points and win at least two major shows. Major shows are shows with at least 3 points. So we need to have about 9 male dogs entered (depending on the division) to count as a major.
This week was good for me workout wise. I ran twice, swam twice and biked once and did yoga. Yay me. I feel good too. I’m actually looking forward to my training again now that I have some schedule flexibility and the “to do” items on my list are lightening up. Next week my goals are to run longer without walking. I want to be able to do 4 miles again without walk breaks. I’m mentally feeling more ok with doing the Tri. If I cant’ do it at the level I want to do it… so be it. The training isn’t becoming part of my identity this year and that feels way better to me.
One of my big goals for this summer is to clean out and organize my house. I am looking so forward to it. I am going to slowly and methodically go through each room and purge all the accumulated stuff we have. I am also going to make sure that all the ‘crap’ has a home. I especially want to do this in the garage. I’d love to do a “clean sweep” sort of thing. Take everything out and then back up a big salvation army truck to haul all the crap away.
I also want to plan a little vacation with my kids this summer. Im trying to figure out where we could go that the kids would like. Maybe camping? Maybe to the San Jaun Islands? Maybe upto Canada? I need to look into that.
I woke up too early this morning. I’m feeling quite sleepy since I didn’t get to bed till after 1am last night. The sun was just streaming in through my windows(not that I’m complaining!) and I couldn’t get back to sleep. I don’t think I want to waste a single minute of it. I feel so appreciative of it.
I guess it’s a gratitude filled morning in a lot of ways. As I laid in bed thinking, my thoughts drifted to my husband. He’s such a fantastic Daddy. I honestly can’t imagine an overall better parenting partner. He really is the perfect ying to my yang. As I grow older and more wise — I become even more aware and appreciative of the way he brings calm, peacefulness and nurturing to our family. Happy Father’s Day honey! I love you!
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
All I remember is he was wearing a speedo and was chatty.
