Hi. Remember me?!

Can it be more than three years since I last posted on this blog?  Yes. Yes, it has. Life got in the way, I suppose- went back to work half-time (more on that later!) and our kids are getting bigger and busier.  I'll admit that I often compose blog posts in my head while in the car or in the shower, but have obviously not had the time/energy/impetus to post them. That is going to change!  I have come to the realization I need to change how I do business.

Almost two years ago I turned 40 and my body has started to slowly betray me, making a mockery of me and  the last 25 years of hard-core, no-unscheduled-days-off workouts and general looking-after-of-myself. As corny as it sounds, my reality has shifted and I am trying to take a closer look at the things that make me 'me'...and my gut tells me to WRITE! 

I'm not going to get all philosophical (or at least, not all the time). There's no time for that:


Today is Saturday, September 15  (Happy Birthday, Prince Harry).

8am ringette in Beaconsfield
10am Ballet Development class in Pointe Claire
11am Hockey in Kirkland
2pm Hockey in Ste. Anne's
2:45pm Contemporary Dance class in Pointe Claire
3pm  10 9-year-old girls descend on my home for Carly's birthday party.

7pm  Movie with friends! 

Tomorrow:

8am ringette in Dorval
8am hockey in Kirkland
8:30am Nutcracker auditions in Pointe Claire (I am volunteering, so we'll be there til 3pm or so)
12pm Hockey in Kirkland
1pm  Birthday party (go-karting in St. Zotique)

In between all this glorious nonsense I have about 3 hours of correcting to do and meal prep for the week to tackle. There are chicken breasts in the oven and veggies steaming as I type! (Oh, did I mention I am participating in a 30-days sugar free challenge?  It sucks, but it was necessary and I am glad to have had the kick in the butt of the 'challenge' part of it).


I promise not to write my to-do lists on here too often. This weekend is ridiculous, though, and I had to share my misery.

SO:  a promise to blog regularly has been made. I don't break promises, so here goes!
