Catching Up...

Well, sooooo, Another year has come and gone and I have survived yet another birthday.  It always strikes me as funny how in the weeks leading up to my Bday I am always so excited and anxious, but when the day finally arrives, I instinctively wanna keep it low key.  Like I much prefer the idea of having a big bday but not actually having one.  That's where having a lot of great family and wonderful friends comes in handy.  I had a good day.
Now its on to the dreaded and hectic holiday season.  I really do enjoy Thanksgiving to the fullest. I love the cooking and the gathering and all the fun and family and friends. I don't, however, enjoy tearing the tendons in my groin playing my 2nd day of flag football. that, i could totally do without.  At least I am in my 3rd week of recovery. I'm making progress, but there's still some pain, especially the days i go without taking any meds.  I like to try and see how long I can go before the total discomfort takes over.  Not very smart seeing as how the most discomfort comes when trying to sleep.  oh well such is life. i am healing and that's all that matters.
Once the Thanksgiving festivities are complete, I'm usually in the mood to fast forward through to NYE.  I do not enjoy the Christmas season at all. NOT AT ALL!  And its not exactly for the reason you might think.  My problem is I am a giver. I thrive on giving and Christmas is the time of giving. I just  never ever seem to be able to give everyone what i wanna give them.  It's like this time of year is a guaranteed failure for me because i'm not going to be able to live up to my own expectations.  Its frustrating and I don't like it. so fast forward to NYE and lets hope i'm not spending it in a Baltimore Airport. Eh, even if i do, at least I'll be in the snow ya know.
So that's pretty much the quick update on whats been going on.  Its just scratching the surface of all that's been going on, but its a start.  I will try to be more prompt with my updates.
I am looking forward to this weekend coming up. Lots of exciting and fun plans. But most of all I am thoroughly looking forward to Monday...Yes i said Monday, because Monday night the kids are here and life is never sweeter then when i'm with my babies.  So bring on the weekend and lets get it out the way so I can get to Monday Night! Hell Yeah!
Get Some!
