Relationships

Saturdays are my most intense workout day of the entire week.  This week I just wasn't feeling it but I went anyway because I have a lot going on right now and need this.  I have always said that my heavy exercise regimen is my favorite anti-depressant and that has never been more true than today.

It has been a week of changes at work, at first I was very unhappy but chose to look at my work situation with a positive attitude and I realized that I have been wanting this all along I just didn't realize it.  I am switching departments and will be working with some amazing ladies again.  I am very excited about being able to do the kind of work that I enjoy the most....helping people...It took a couple days to get here but I think it is going to be a great change. 

It has been a week of challenges, challenges with my relationships....We have had an extended house guest that is putting everyone on edge a little as it is not the most ideal situation, stress....so much stress...I think we are all feeling it.  My children need a reset button as well.  Adrianna got in trouble in school and they have been fighting constantly.  And my relationship with Jd, well it's being challenged more than usual...

I decided this morning when getting ready to go workout that after, I would spend some quality time with my kiddos.  I miss them during the day.  I took them back to the gym with me to play raquetball, we had a great time, within a few minutes we were all 3 smiling and feeling a little more relaxed.  It wasn't at all about the game it was just about being together and getting our bodies moving.

My relationships are very important to me, all of them.  Sometimes you just have to take a few minutes to connect with the people in your universe whether it is your romantic relationships or your children, friends, or co-workers.  It is not always easy to spend time with those you love but doing so can keep you connected, it makes you strong and it makes you generally happier.

My favorite time at the end of day is snuggling with my monsters in my king size bed watching a movie and just listening to them...you can learn a lot from an 11 year old and 7 year old.  This is balance.  I love the balance and my daughter told me that she thinks I'm "foxy" I laughed so hard at her use of that word that we both almost fell off the bed.  You have to love they way they see the world......Lots of laughter and snuggles.  I can't imagine a better end to a pretty good day....
