Oh, goodness…what to write, what to write, what to write? Things have totally gotten away from me lately. I’m taking on new and exciting responsibilities at work (not including any pay increases yet, unfortunately, but who knows for the future??), trying to get in shape by going to the gym 3 days a week at 5:15 am (I’ve done it 3 times already, and I’m pretty sure I’ll stick with it for the foreseeable future! The time isn’t so bad considering it takes me 2 minutes to get there and I would have been getting up at 5:50 anyway. Plus, I’m being joined by a friend!), Steve has started working several evenings a week and all day on the weekends (it definitely cuts into family time, but a job’s a job) working with troubled children and children with developmental disabilities, I’m hard at work (and well behind schedule) with the production of the 2010 DSANV calendar (can someone please lend me some free time?), Samantha is busy, busy, busy (loves summer school, loves playing with her “soccaball”, little daddy’s girl that she is, and is practicing new words and word combinations every day), and I’m about to hit a not-so-pretty birthday on Friday. I haven’t even thought about putting my Buddy Walk team page together yet. I haven’t been down to the lake in months, although Samantha and I will fix that this weekend. It hasn’t been warm enough to use Sammi’s kiddie pool, to go to our local pool, or to even play in the sprinkler, which is kind of sad to me, considering mid-Atlantic summers are usually pretty brutal. I don’t remember the last time I picked up a book, and know that the one I started 6 months ago is still sitting on my nightstand, waiting for me. Along with the other 15 books in the queue.
I’m not complaining. I think I don’t mind not having any down time other than the time that I’m asleep in bed, because I think that’s all part of being a busy parent to an amazing little kid. I truly can’t imagine how people do it with more than one child. Sounds like a circus juggling act to me. I juggle enough, thank you very much, as evidenced by me cleaning toilets and scrubbing the bathtub this morning in my pajamas, 10 minutes before I had to roll out the door. All in a day’s work…

You have been busy!
You don't think it's been warm enough for the kiddie pool? I've been feeling like it's too hot to even be outside LOL Kayla and Lucas have been in the kiddie pool quite a bit the last few weeks (well except last week when we were in FL) and already Kayla's been in the local pool 2x since we've been back :)
I hear you on "where did time go". I find myself thinking of things I want to post on my blog and then not having the time to sit down and do it.
Good luck on getting in shape, I'm right there with you. Well, not at 5am though. *smiles*

Busy busy. Great that you're finding and making time for yourself in the morning. We're 2 minutes from our racquet club, but it would help if I met a friend there to work out with, too. Love the pic.
Life has been busy for you. It is also sounds like it has been very good. I hope you had a wonderful birthday!
