A wrestling Mom’s tale

It’s the day before Thanksgiving and all through the house,

Not a creature was pushing to be a tiny mouse.

Wrestling weigh ins causing a long food time gap,

The dilemma to enjoy dinner or just take a nap.

One child trying to gain, another working to lose,

Then me in the middle of the food dilemma blues.

I remember the reason we stopped visiting family on this day,

It’s too difficult to say no to the stuffing, taters and buffet.

A long line of wrestlers we do come from,

This is a picture of my son’s pumpkin he carved. It glows pretty cool doesn’t it?

Halloween is quiet at my house. I’ve had two trick-or-treaters and it’s 8:40pm. I don’t think the hordes are going to arrive any time soon. I’m glad we didn’t buy too much candy and really not any of my favorites. I snagged a bag of tootsie roll pops but those things can be stored for years as long as it’s a dry environment. Yes, I know this for fact

Well after being offline most of the week, today has been about trying to catch up. I did a bunch of must do stuff earlier in the day, but this evening is about fun posting. Hence, I’m on here.

It’s October and that means horror and scary movies. My favorite! I’m watching the Caller with my furry kids tonight and it’s pretty darn good. I was expecting a B thriller and it’s got a good plot. Kind of like the Butterfly Effect but with contact between the time periods that things are happening. I really like the Butterfly Effect, I’m going to see if that’s on netflix tonight. I have serious doubts as I rarely find anything on netflix when I’m specifically looking. lol

Tons of things are changing. I’m going to get a little redesign this summer as this theme is not as friendly as so many others I’ve used.

I’ll be going through posts and setting some of the really personal posts to private. Not something most of you will notice I’m sure.

The biggest thing that will change is it’s use. It will be used again. I’ve sold off or deleted many sites and blogs in the last few months. I’ve been focusing more and it’s been so productive. I’ve learned a lot over the years. The last 4 years have been a constant roller coaster as family dynamics and jobs changed our lives immensely. But I’ve had tremendous clarity in the last 6 months and it shows in the growth of my businesses.

Some days it’s easier to get blog posts up, other times it’s really turning into work. I’m thinking it could have to do with the weather as well. It’s April in Seattle, therefore we can see rain and grey all day every day. Bleh  Have a feeling it’s seasonal.

Plus I need to downsize many things.  Revamp the focus or even figure out what the recent focus of some sites is.  Without focus on a site or two I’m really wasting my time.

How fun is this?! I downloaded the wordpress app a few months ago but haven’t really used it. It’s very convenient, I just wasn’t set up to use all my battery power at wrestling tournaments and other days I just haven’t needed it.

But it’s spring and all that will be changing. Daughters in track and football starts in a couple weeks for the boy. I’m blogging from the car line waiting to pick him up for appt. The busier the family gets, the more I get discouraged about time wasted waiting.

Why yes “proudness” is a word. lol  Did you understand what it meant?  Then it’s a word.

I made it 5 out of 7 days so far on my workouts.  I still have Sunday, but honestly it’s not looking like I’ll have time to workout Sunday.  Have some plans with my in-laws that I’m looking forward to.  Considering I only needed to workout 3 days this week, I’m already at a great number

By my own high standards?  Not even close.  My workouts were what they were set to be.  Get there and get it done.  I never went there to kick it this week, just getting there was a miracle.

I may not be updating much, but I have come to the conclusion with what I am doing with this site.  Did you guess from the title?

This blog is my personal blog.  It’s all me and it’s my place to share things that don’t belong on my biz sites and things I keep to myself too much.  Things that I wish I had others to talk to about who are in the same boat.  Which means that there is someone else out there that may give a damn about hearing how I’ve coped with things.  Or there may no one that cares and either way I don’t give a fuck.

It has become official that I needed my time away from training.  I was not taking care of myself and I was letting everyone else’s issues bog down with my own.  This started about 2 years ago and it just got worse and worse.  Life stepped in and I haven’t had any training clients in almost a year.  I was glad then and I’m glad now that I have had time to work on myself.  I’m not perfect by any means and it’s taken me a really long time to work through things and move forward.  At least I feel like I’m moving forward.

Now I know better than to count on this, but I did remember to come back and post my random Sunday!  It’s easy to get 5 things I didn’t talk about this week since I didn’t post.  That leads me to the first randomness.

1.  We took our first trip in the new trailer with just the four of us.  Ran off to Long Beach, Wa and had an awesome time.  There was absolutely no fighting or argueing.  WOW

2.  I got no work done last week.  We went to the range, I hung out with hubby, we shopped and I also…….
