It has taken me considerably longer to get back into the swing of things, especially being that the kids started school on Tuesday, and I myself as well … which is crazy. It is all a little overwhelming, to be honest. Food and exercise? HA! Actually, last night I intended to workout … then something weird happened. I was walking around the supermarket and I could NOT stop yawning. I went home and put a DVD in for the kids and said I was going to lay down for 15 minutes … that was at 6:45. I woke up TWO HOURS later. I NEVER do that. I never even lay down for 15 minutes - lol - but two hours? I was late getting the kids to bed, then had all my housework and schoolwork to do … so was again up past midnight. Ugh.
Vacation was absolutely wonderful, the best I’ve ever had. One of these years I will get around to putting some pics up. I don’t know why that last one didn’t work.
Still working on myself, still going to therapy, still being mindful of what I am eating (though I am not doing the best job), still planning on figuring out an exercise schedule to balance with school. Actually, I think if I can come up with three evenings a week I can work out, that will be satisfactory.
Still seeing where things are going with R, which has been very, very nice. :-) It has been hard to accept responsibility for so many of the faults I have had that I didn’t see, a result of my upbringing, but I am working on it and working on how I deal with things and relationships, whether it is with R or not, it is something I needed to do.
What else? Hmmm … got a new Coach business bag at the outlet over Labor Day weekend! $428 down to $269! I needed it. No, I really did! :lol: Wouldn’t be me without a handbag reference. But I use this daily, really.
Okay, I will try and pop in later to catch up. And I WILL get pics up one of these days.
Have to miss group kick tonight for open house, already!

You sound super busy and I doubt I could keep up with you! The long nap was definitely needed!! Hopefully you settle into a good routine that includes enough sleep and exercise. Take care!

You’ll find your pace and a way to fit things in, but in the meantime, don’t be too hard on yourself as you adjust–school is a big commitment–especially the homework, but once you get used to it, you’ll be back to your old, busy self. Glad to hear the vacation was the best ever–you deserve that!
