february blues

February 8, 2010

i missed the january blues.

january came and went with a ‘happy new year,’ the chaos of starting a new semester, my birthday, kiana’s dance solo for 2010 was choreographed, a costume design is in the works, snow, snow, more snow, and ten thousand other things…really.
one of the ten thousand was our anniversary trip which filled my cup to the brim with sunshine, so i will definitely endure the rest of winter.
we returned home, and i am hours and hours behind in homework.

in the rhodes home –

dusty has returned to “friday lunches with big papi!” this is a big benefit of papi’s offices being two blocks away from our kids school.

dusty either takes the kids their favorite fast food or checks them out of school for 30 minutes and runs them somewhere to eat.

this is definitely the highlight of their lunch-week!

i’m not a big fan of running.

long distances.

but of course, i love to run if playing soccer.

that’s totally different.

i’ve had my days of running races, went through a little phase back after i gave birth to myla and kj. but those days have come and gone.

there are just NOT enough hours in a day.

anyone else feeling like this lately?!?

i think i am going to pull an all-nighter, sometimes as a momma, it just hast to be done, to get it all done. know what i mean?

this week:
i finished the sixth season of “sex & the city” oh yeah boy. i started season one back in january. i watch 1, 2, or 3 episodes during my daily work-outs. it’s perfect because each episode is only 20-28 minutes. so, sometimes two episodes pulls me right through 45 minutes of hard-core cardio. i love it. i love carrie. charlotte. miranda. and samantha.

for the love…

of sugar. I have not been eating well.

how about you???

I am starting again, TODAY.

seriously.

lets see, back here, I was good for two weeks solid. really good.

then easter came.

then KJ’s birthday came.

then mother’s day came.

these one-day events all turned into DAYS and DAYS of eating SUGAR! because you know, this is an addiction we are talking about. when I indulge just a little, the fact is, i then indulge a LOT.

{sigh}

today, I start again….

no sugar, for this girl.
