I’m back!!!


Well, it has been another large gap in blogging of nonsense.  My life has been very full indeed!  I am happy to announce that I am essentially free for the summer!!  I have a couple of minor things to do for work – taking a special girl shopping and moving my office.  One will be fun and one will likely suck.  Ah, well, isn’t that life?!  The good and the bad.  So… I will catch you up with a few things and then I will re – enter the pondering zone!
So confirmation preceded a gajillion activities and culminated with 8th grade promotion.  Woohoo!   In other news, there are a few thoughts in between…
1.  Physical therapy is amazing!  I am actually done with twice a week visits and I am feeling stronger.  My knee is feeling better, my heel is still sore but it is improving.  I have Achilles tendonitis… but it is improving.  I have been cut loose from appointments with orders to continue with exercises and follow up with my doctor.  Back on the road!
2.  A couple of weeks ago, Jenn and I decided to motivate ourselves to get it going on again by running a 5K on the trails.  Yay!!  We had a nice time catching up and we both finished without falling down or breaking down!

3.  I have been feeling a need to re-increase my fitness… several months of eating junk and not really exercising hasn’t been amazing.  I am glad I can get back to moving… and icing and stretching. 
4.  The last few weeeeks of school have been insane!  Marek and I have both been full of things to do.  One of which was the High School Pops Concert!  Marek played the bass with the Jazz Band – AWESOME – and he was the microphone man for the rest of the show.  It was a good show.

5.  There were a wide variety of other activities … but I really don’t remember what they were specifically!  I am focused on wrapping up the school year and moving on into summer! 
6.  Oh, yeah!  Things I am looking forward to… mother daughter retreat coming up soon!!  We are going to stay in a cabin at Tuttle Creek Lake for a couple of nights and chilllax together. 
7.  Still excited about the National Youth Gathering coming up in only a few weeks!!  We are doing some group work before we leave in a month!  It will be amazing!
8.  8th grade Promotion was excellent!  I can’t believe that Marek is a freshman in High School!  There will be some additional pondering this summer as I work through this!  He had a good year; enjoying his teachers, sports and music. Oh, and his peers!  Plenty of time with his friends, too!

Meanwhile, I am tired out and ready for bed!  I am looking forward to another fun filled and fabulous day tomorrow!  I will get some significant time in the garden tomorrow!!  Sleep tight and I will ponder something other than basic reporting tomorrow!
