I have been in a bit of a funk lately. Post-Christmas let down.  I love Christmas and the excitement that builds up to it and then in one quick moment (kinda like the first time) it is over and you are left with only the memory.  My Christmas was awesome and I certainly wish it could last longer.  I know our bank account is happy it doesn’t last longer.  It isn’t the gifts part I wish lasted, it is the holiday cheer that infects everyone.  It is the time off and the getting together with friends and family.  It is too bad that regular life gets in the way.  Oh well, until next year. 

Another contributing factor to my funk has been my laziness.  I have been busy running errands, etc., but I hadn’t seen the inside of the gym for nearly 14 days and that always makes me feel crappy.  Put on top of that all the crap I have eaten and the fact that I stopped journaling my food has made me feel–well like shit and fat.  I did get back on the horse and go spinning today and I am back on track with my food consumption.  Oh how unfair it is that we just can’t eat everything we see and not blow up like an overfilled balloon. 

Hubby has also been a little funky lately and he has a powerful aura about him.  If he is down in the dumps the whole house is buried in his depression and gloom.  He is feeling better–I am not sure but I think it is safe to say that the 72 degrees yesterday and round of golf might have contributed to his overall feeling of happiness. 

So, things are slowly getting back on track and Minnow is growing and growing and just does not stop.  He runs everywh…pardon me for this interuption, but my little Minnow just spilled a little water and then ran off and came back with a kleenex.  Wiped it up. Said “all gone” and handed me the wet kleenex.  Where did this kid come from? 

Anyway.  Minnow is all action all the time.  I have been trying to de-TVfy him.  So far, so good.  Yesterday he watched no TV at home–only a little bit at grandpa and grandma’s house.  The day before, we watched 2 episodes of Spongebob before bed.  Today so far, he has watched none.  It is going to be 73 here again today so hopefully he and I will get out and enjoy the day and he can be TV free again. 

There has been no adoption news yet.  Our director posted on our email group yesterday that there are about a dozen new babies who will be available for referral soon.  So, we could hear as early as next week sometime.  Even if it isn’t our time yet, I know we are certainly closer. 

Thanks for hanging in there.
