I'm up ... really I am

Last night I had one of those nights where you just look and stare at the numbers on the clock ... every darn hour.

YAWN ...

I am not looking forward to the start of school tomorrow.  This mommy needs to get to sleep earlier and get some routine so she doesn't crash and burn.

Honey, I totally know what you're talking about. Is it back to school already?.....

I had a coughing fit around 1:30 - used the inhaler (which I'm trying to lay off of) which kept me up until well after 3 a.m.! I just woke up at noon (thank God for a teenager who could occupy Molly) - and we're heading to evening Mass tonight. Whaddyagoingtodo?.....

My sweet adorable husband has been snoring lately so my sleep is off.
I think the worrying about not sleeping even prevents me from sleeping more.
Vicious little sleep cycle.
Happy New Year.

I love your blog! I found it on Catholic Mother's Online. I just wanted to drop by and say hello. I hope you and your family have a wonderful new year!
I can relate! We are so off schedule around here. At lease we had to get up kind of early today for church, so that will help. It's hard to get back on schedule.

Good luck this week!

I'm not looking forward to back to school time. Especially because that means I start back up at the gym at 5 am. yuck!
I'm with you. School started today and I was not a happy momma gettin' up at 0630. Ugh... My problem is I'm a night person. I like being up late when everyone else is snoozing. But I pay for it when the alarm goes off.

Back to school here also. We made a lot of goals so I hope this new year is a good one!

Feeling every bit of 46 ... ugh!

When I was 45, I was feeling fabulous.   I was fit, energetic, and I thought I could easily pass for 40;) Age was just a number and I certainly didn't think I felt or looked my true age. Then February 11th came and I turned 46.   I have sciatica on my left side, my left knee is stiff, and I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot.   I've resorted to stretching all the time and popping the occasional anti-inflammatory.   There are dark circles under my eyes that I've had to start putting concealer on.   My hair is growing out from last years 45 year old short hair, but it's just in an awkward stage.  I can't decide if I want to cut it again or let it grow out.   I even thought of styling my hair differently by doing a different hair part.   That was a terrible idea because I was SHOCKED to see how much gray is now growing in the center of my scalp.  I also think my metabolism is slowing down because my mid section seems a little thicker ... ...

"The Loveliness of The Seashore"

What is the "Seashore" like? "Where the sky meets the sea ... The seashore is a place where the sea and the sky are the same smoky gray until ... the morning sun breaks through. The hot noonday sun feels warm as a big soft cat covering you. And it seems there is nothing in the world except the sound of the wind and the rising and falling of waves." Over at Dawn 's there are so many wonderful books suggested on her blog. Earlier this month I couldn't help but to peek at some of them ... thanks Dawn! *The above quote came from The Seashore Book . The ocean moves in and then moves out. This place where water, sky and earth meet is never the same. The tide comes in, the tide goes out, each wave that returns pushes against the incoming swell as it is pulled back into the endless depths and swallowed into the vastness of an unknown deep. Such is each day of our "daily" lives. I grew up enjoying the sights, sound, and the surf of the NY/Jersey "shor...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...
