Things I've been feeling lately...

- lazy! I'm not happy about it, but with the kids (and myself) being sick off and on, I've just become lazy. It's a miserable predicament as I can't seem to find where to begin to get things done. I will have a great day...followed by 3 slow and uninspiring days. Why can't I just be a morning person? I know that if I got moving before everyone else, I'd at least have accomplished taking a shower. Now that would be something to feel good about!

- old! Ok, not that old but things are changing. You know how after having babies you lose a large percentage of your hair all at once? Well, it's growing back but there are far more gray hairs in the mix than I would like to admit. 2007 was the year I found my first gray hair. I can't complain too much...I was 33 (not 23) but it's a visual reminder that I don't have unlimited time and there is still so much more to do.

- politically disappointed! I won't turn this into a political entry...I would go on for far too long but I am concerned and a bit anxious as to what will become of this country - or maybe better phrased - what this country is becoming! Suffice it to say, there will be much to think about before November and I don't feel like there is anyone I would like to see in the White House. No offense to the blue party, but I'm not sure we could recover should you win the prize this time around and I fear that is exactly what is going to happen.

- utterly uninspired! Well, as far as writing goes. I've been racking my brain to come up with something to write about, some interesting anecdote in our lives to share, and it hasn't come (not that anything I have written previously was interesting...but you know what I mean). I realize this has more to do with me, than with the life I lead and those that surround me. I'm not seeing the beauty and the magnificence. Am I asleep? WAKE UP!

hmmm....this post is a bit negative and depressing! Anyone up for a long walk or maybe a bit of yoga? I think I need it pretty bad! Ok - I'm done now. This short bleak period has officially ended!

I am right there with you. Except I got my first greys on my mission (21) and now I feel like I could pass for an 80 year old woman. I think it's time for spring to come don't you! It's time for all the colds to stop and all the fun to start. Let's pray for Spring and to sleep.

Do you Californians really notice a difference between winter and spring? I think the cure all would be to come here to Idaho, and see what a real winter is like. You may want to stay, but then again, you may be very grateful to get back home!

I'm serious you know Becca! Come!

i'd love to take you up on the long walk so we can commiserate together. doesn't life just suck? ok, just kidding, but sometimes i do feel like leaving it all behind for a day and running naked on the beach or something. oh the joys of motherhood!

Amen!
The greys have been at my house much longer but I love my colorist so I'm O.K. with it!

I'm ready for the real spring not this tease we are getting right now!

It's hard to recover after you have sick kids. You get so out of routine it's hard to get back. We are just getting back in the swing of things around here as well. If you could only see my pile of clean clothes (hey, at least they are clean now right..)

I walk would be great for me too then we could color our hair together!

You'll be feeling yourself soon enough, we all have lows.
