Here it comes the end of the summer blahs, or some other blahs in full force. I can feel a headache coming on. One of those I get that last for days no matter what I take or do.
I sit and I think about the upcoming school year, new students, dealing with staff, internship and the most classes I have taken in a semester.
I sit and think about will my oldest start off the year well. Will he get a teacher who tries to understand him, help him grow as a learner. I hope he doesn't struggle too much or worse, not like school or continue to get picked on by a particular group of kids. My hubby reminds I worry about these same things every year and each year is better then the last so I try to focus on that.
I sit and look at all the health and exercise magazines I subscribe to and all the things in the them that I WANTED to do DIDN'T do this summer. My secret goal was to look 1/4 as good as the trainer on the biggest loser (yeah I know I was probably dreaming). The exercising I did pretty well, healthier eating was my downfall (Summer treats and lunches out with the boys are a terrible temptation). My plan to do yoga, stretching and pilates at home was a big bust. Everything fits better then a year ago and I get lots of compliments, but my lofty goals make me feel like a big pear anyway.
I am being a big whiner so I will sign off for a bath and glass of wine and think of the GOOD things I did do this summer like connecting with friends and enjoying time and activities with my kids that many working moms and families I know don't get to. That bath has got to help:)

ah, cher. i hope that bath did help, and it's ok to feel like that sometimes. but you have to know how blessed you are, i can see it all around you. you look wonderful and seem so happy, you have a beautiful home and great kids, a husband who obviously loves you to pieces, friends who really care about you and a great career that you're very very good at. the only thing i see getting in your way is that cumbersome chair taking up room on your patio...why don't i just take that off your hands?
Didn't get a bath or my wine, hubby drank the last glass:( Thanks for your words, hmmmm maybe it is the chair weighing me down:)
wow. Cher, i think you look fabulous. really toned and GOOD.
take it from someone almost a decade older. enjoy how you look NOW. later in life, you'll look back and say "wow, maybe i DID look okay!"
:)
Bobbi-thank you for the compliment and it is funny you mentioned looking back. I think that came up during some of our girl conversations that we should have appreciated more what we had 10 and 20 years ago. Honestly I think all women look great and it would be boring if we came in all the same shape and size and the inside is so much more what counts!
I definitely didn't do half of what I said I would do this summer either. It flew by. And when it ends, I feel like you do. I sort of mourn summer. it's my favorite season, and I worked during most of it! At least I got to go on some trips and see people I care about. So, I guess, here's to fall and all it's new and frsh possibilites!
