So why am I not yelling for the ball? 

I used to love to play dodge ball and tether ball when I was in elementary school. I also remember loving the monkey bars and any kind of obstacle course.  Somewhere in junior high though something changed.

Cut Loose

I felt so fuchi (gross) this morning. It’s always like the last 5-10 minutes before finally exiting the house where every once in a while I just feel so overwhelmed by it all and I get the most negative thoughts swirling around in my head.

I miss my Speedo 

One of my favorite things right now is happening every Monday and Wednesday.  Every week on those days our oldest daughter lights up when she sees me grab her swimsuit and the first thing she says is “don’t forget my goggles mama!”  She started classes at our local YMCA last summer and then had a… Continue reading I miss my Speedo

Triathlon 2017

It was a regular morning at work when I decided to steal a little break time and check my personal email account. As is the norm there was a barrage of junk email and I began my ritual of just click, click, clicking away on the little box to the left, choosing emails I would… Continue reading Triathlon 2017
