You know how you feel after running a good race? A long one, where you pushed yourself?

I don't know if it was my whopping two mile run in 18 minutes Tuesday or if it was pushing that 80 pound bale of hay up the Mt. Everest of my property, but my thighs are whipped.

I'm taking off from exercising today.

Too tired.

Speaking of being tired, TJ napped yesterday from 1-3 (at daycare), then fell asleep on the drive home from daycare and napped ...

After a bad sleeping night, I got up early to feed the animals. Realized that we were out of hay, so I rolled the wheelbarrow down to get some hay. We found a new supplier, who is supplying much better hay, but oh my god, he bales them in these things that are about four feet long and weigh close to 80 pounds. I nearly gave myself a hernia lifting that thing into the wheelbarrow, much less pushing it up to where I can feed the horses. I was sweating like a racehorse by the time I got it where ...

I'm pathetic, really and truly pathetic with some things. My house was a disaster on Christmas morning. No new presents under the tree from Santa (they were still in the middle of the living room floor with the wrapping paper). Christmas cards were strewn about on the table. It looked like a pig sty. TJ's 3 1/2 and this is the last year...the absolute last year (mark my words) that I will be unprepared for Christmas. Two years ago my lesson learned was to put up the tree before December 22nd. ...

I thought Christmas was a week away.

I'm woefully unprepared.

Went shopping at lunch yesterday, went out early today and shopped and had a holiday pot luck luncheon today. Did a little bit of on-line shopping and I'm (thankfully) just about done. I'll need to overnight ship a couple of gifts...my own fault for waiting so late.

I am so stuffed from the holiday party I really should go and walk on the treadmill but I just can't get myself up out of this ...

I made it to the gym all five days this week. Hallelujah. (Or however that word is spelled). It was rough at first. We've been battling some pretty nasty sleep issues. I'm plum worn out. But I stuck with it. It doesnt' really bother me (too much) that I can't run fast. It doesn't really bother me (too much) that I can't run too long. I'm doing it. And that keeps me going. No matter what the American Heart Association says (at least 18 minutes of cardio a day), the plain and simple fact ...
