Enjoying the rollercoaster

I’m a big fan of movies so a lot of my references come from there.  This morning I’m thinking of “Parenthood” and the scene near the end where Steve Martin’s grandma is talking about when grandpa took her to the amusement park to ride the rollercoasters.  Long story short it reminds us to enjoy the ride even though sometimes it’s too fast and scary.  That’s how I feel today.

As I mentioned yesterday we got hit with another snowstorm.  All of the older people here are talking about how this is just like the winter of ‘78 (I was 4 then so I don’t remember) but apparently it was a doozy.  But having this snow caused the cancellation of a speaker we were supposed to listen to and allowed us to have inservice at our own schools today starting at 10:00.  This gave me time to workout and to join my hubby on our appt. to tour our 4 year-old’s new daycare.  Yes, it’s causing us to scramble all over the place but who cares, I’m enjoying the ride.

I think the main reason I’m able to have such a good attitude is my son is finally sleeping!!!  I think I got 6 hours Friday night, 8 hours Saturday night and 7 hours last night.  I think I could walk around all day whistling and skipping I’m so energetic.

I did a new Turbo Jam DVD this morning and it was tough.  It’s the one you do with the weighted gloves and it was fun.  It will definitely become one of my favorites.

Hope everyone has a good President’s Day!!  Talk to you tomorrow.

    hi brandie,
    thanks for commenting on my blog! i don’t want to celebrate prematurely, but i think today will make 3 days of not binging. for me, this is a big deal though.

    but yeah, the gratitude posts were my friend’s idea. i’m going to keep them up for as long as possible, but no less than 30 days. it gets hard though!
