Crazy Joy

New Location, Same Old Life

That's how I feel, but it isn't really true. Since I last posted to this blog, I discovered why I was feeling so tired and run down. I was pregnant with Finn who is now 18th months old and the cutest little guy. That story is over on Blogger at Moving to a Zone Defense. 

But, since I moved the blog (yesterday), it is the same old life: crazy busy, crazy complicated, crazy overwhelming, and when I'm looking, crazy joy. Today is one of those days when I'm having a hard time seeing the joy or even wanting to. Instead, I feel overwhelmed, desperately trying to keep melting jello in my hands. So much to keep track of, even with excellent calendar apps. So much to be aware of. So much to be on top of. And, then so many people (mostly children) demanding my time and attention when I really just want to be by myself, buried in a book.

Sigh. I hate to complain and whine. It makes for terrible reading later. But, that's where I am. Sigh again.

It's this or laundry

Hurray another way to kill time: write in my blog. I just started BFL again last week, and I am pooped. Unfortunately, I'm caught up on most of my work and the only thing left for me to do is clean house, including laundry. I just don't have the energy to do any of it. So, instead, I've decided to write, but now I think I'm too tired to even type any more.

Dang! I cannot wait until I have the energy that I know is coming from exercise and eating right. Ah, if only I could go to bed.

What living in the country will get you ...

While driving to the gym and no more than a mile from our home, I drove past a coyote out for a trot on the road in the opposite direction. This is why our cats are indoor cats.
