Still rockin it, despite I am having some discomfort in the knees. I've about decided that just like with emotional, mental or spiritual pain, sometimes we gotta push through physical pain, too. So I am! Monday night I walked 1.25 miles in 20. Would have went further but it was cooler than I anticipated and my mp3 died! Tuesday night, I did zumba (after doing PT that morning) and then walked 2 miles in 25! Wednesday morning I did PT but decided to take the evening off so we could grill out...only I couldnt get the grill lit but that's another story. Thursday rolled around and my knee was KILLING me as is the pain in my left abdomen. I'm feeling better now so I will jump back in later today. As for my spirit, I am looking forward to Joel Osteen coming to Birmingham but I know I need to do more that just watching him. I do pray daily but I confess they are fleeting...I'm also looking for some positive affirmation tapes to meditate on. But overall, I feel good about myself and our future. I just get bogged down in the daily grind of work, kids, appointments, etc. Mind--I am in such a reading funk! I need to find that one really good book that's gonna suck me back in because I miss it. I learn so much from reading and I do read my Cosmo and the paper but I need to feel the weight of a book in my hand (just like sometimes I need to feel the weight of a man on me, despite the fact I have a pretty well-stocked "goody" drawer! haha) I'm also contemplating a career change. Yes, I still love children and teaching and I've been groomed to be a director my whole life. But I dont like the way the "industry" is going. Too many childcare "experts" that really dont know their ass from a hole in the ground that want to dictate the character of kids by tell the caregivers what we can and cannot do. I see total devastation of our youth ahead if someone doesnt stand up and say something soon. Sadly, there are too many parents that do the same stuff. My physical therapist has gotten me really interested in that but I know know that I will always be physically able to do some of the things that she does. Plus, I saw her yesterday have to work on this man with the most disgusting feet I've ever seen...I can NOT touch someone else's jacked up feet! I could do nursing if I did labor and delivery or pediatric. I dont have much patience with old folks though even though they are precious! So I digress. All I know for now is that I need more money coming into this house and I dont have time for a second job! Aaarrrrggghhh!!! lol
