Small Feets

June 15, 2010

Yesterday I did something that a month ago I never imagined was possible.  Hell, yesterday, 20 minutes before I did it I didn't think it was possible. I ran, solidly, for 20 minutes.  I didn't stop.  I didn't even try to stop.  I didn't slow down.  In fact, at one point, I sped up. For [...]

If I Was A Single Parent I Would Be An Alcoholic

June 10, 2010

Ohmyg-d you guys.  This week.  Words can not even describe this week.  My husband is out of town.  Allegedly for work.  In Vegas.  Or so he says.  I'm not buying it.  He called me to tell me his room at the "resort and casino" is "enormous."  And I did not tell him to shut up.  [...]

I go to my rheumatologist bi-monthly for a lupus/RA general health check.  And I've been doing really well.  I haven't had [...]

The Family That Exercises Together

June 2, 2010

I took Michael to a kids' exercise class at my gym today.  Of all the things I want to teach him, a healthy relationship to food and exercise is one of them.  I didn't learn that until, well, I'm still working on it. Michael struggles with physical activity.  He is naturally thin, like his Dad.  [...]
