still here..

for those who thought i might have jumped off the nearest cliff (or bridge, since i'm in kansas and there are no cliffs to be found, only hills), i have not.  and i'm slowly but surely coming out of my slump, thanks in large part to bryan's schedule.  also, those beatle guys knew a thing or two when they wrote the words, 'let it be.'  i might get a tattoo of that if i ever decided i needed another.  maybe a japanese symbol representing that phrase-- KIDDING.  but not about the words, they are powerful.

we're getting back into our normal routine, the one where the boys are at "school" twice a week and i get a bit of a break.  we've had a few snow days, and if we have more so-help-me, i may just check out.  no i won't.

it also helps a ton when i get phone calls and e-mails from my people, wanting to know if they can help or offer an ear to listen... just someone acknowledging it is huge. thank you peeps.

in other news: running is on my list for new years resolutions.  i started "training" for a 5k.  it's in quotes because i don't plan on running a 5k, i just needed rules to follow.  i'm up to 2.25 miles and i haven't died yet.  i think it's going well.
