{Happy} New Year
I started the year off right this morning with a little run/walk. It's been six weeks since Bens (pronounced "Bence") was born so it's time I reclaim my pre-pregnant body. I'm out of excuses to not get my act together and quite honestly, I am SO tired of not fitting into 98.4% of everything I own. I am anxious to kick my bum and melt the baby fat away (ie: exercise coupled with never or rarely eating what sounds good). Ah, 'tis the life of a woman. The cruel weight roller coaster we all must perpetually ride. Nope, I'm not bitter :)
Anyway, while on my run, I came across a pile of vomit. It was a sad reminder of what most people were doing last night: Yay! Let's ring in the new year by hugging a toilet bowl and waking up with a hang-over--or worse, waking up with a hangover AND next to someone you don't know. That sounds like the perfect way to turn a new leaf, set goals, and have a productive, eventful, and satisfying year.
Wow. I. Just. Don't. Get. It.
I woke up this morning next to the man I love, with a nursing babe snuggled up to me, the sound of my two older boys playing happily in their room and thought, "Can it get any better?"
I hope this year continues to be sweet and wish for all of you to savor life, seek your dreams, and drink up every moment with those you love.

well said. i love the way you write.
maybe we need to find a way to work together on this "reclaiming pre-pregnant body" thing??
what do you think?
haha, i love your little jogging rant. I can just see you saying it.
And six weeks and jogging?! I still don't have bladder control at that point. Bravo! Just don't be hard on yourself - I seem to remember a post like 3 minutes after you had Benson and you were positively glowy and ridiculously lovely at your high school reunion.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
That is lovely (not the vomit part) -- I had similar thoughts about my own life when I woke up this morning too :)
Running already--way to go Joanie!!!
This is inspiring! After 15 months, let's see, 120 weeks, I am feeling like I should do the same-ha! Way to go, momma!
