  • 2017-03-29 Yes I Can

    Yesterday I woke up in a funk. I had more than 8 hours sleep which is outside the norm for me and yet I was groggy and did not feel well rested. I was sort of crampy and a lot grumpy and just generally feeling low and dumpy from what felt like 100 days of…

  • 2017-03-28 Where’s the Bright Side?

    I woke up with a slight headache this morning and it’s officially day 1 of my cycle. I don’t have to go into the office today, thank goodness. At the present moment I’m still in bed with my laptop and seriously considering just working from here until I really need to get up for some…

  • 2017-03-28 Jimmi D’s – They Can’t All Be Winners.. 2

    Sometimes, it’s just about a Cheeseburger. 😃 On Saturday (yes, I know that was like 3 days ago now), the kids and I met my Mom and Sister’s and my sister’s husband, Bob, at a restaurant and Bar called Jimi D’s. I really like the place, it’s a mid-tier bar, so not a dive and…

  • 2017-03-26 Sunday Stats + Choices

    It’s been a while since I posted stats. So long, that I forgot what I was keeping track of. I’ve put a pause on tracking my food so I have nothing to report on for that. Feeling a bit setback the past 3 weeks, I’ve put more of a focus on sleep and exercise. My…

  • 2017-03-26 Early Morning Mommy Feels

    I woke up at 6AM today after about 6.5 hours of sleep. I did not hit my goal of 7 hours but that’s OK and I kind of did not expect to given the state of affairs right before we all went to bed (see yesterday’s post). I was angry, Cooper was upset by my…

  • 2017-03-25 All Wound Up

    I watched Dr. Strange with the kids and finished before 10PM. At that time, I just wanted some alone time to clear my head and not listen to the constant bicker of sibling irritation. I went to the gym to get the rest of my steps for the day, which took about a half hour…

  • 2017-03-25 Ironic

    I’m looking out the window this morning and I have Alanis Morissette whispering in my ear “Isn’t it Ironic.. don’t you think?”. We haven’t had any real precipitation for weeks and weeks (and it was an extremely dry winter). Last weekend we put together our new trampoline out in the back yard and it’s pretty much…

  • 2017-03-23 Magical

    Sure I can get more done during the day on only 5 or 6 hours of sleep, but at what cost? The longer the day gets, the harder it is to concentrate or do things. The harder it is to do something, the longer it can take. The more you string those nights together in…
