One of yesterday’s pics Last night, I rode my 250th ride at Cyclebar with my favorite cycle instructor. I purposely ride with her three times a week. Some would say I’m a glutton for punishment, because even “recovery” rides are intense and make you work until you want to blackout. But, I choose her classesContinue reading “Another Milestone”

The Sun is Shining…
Last night was a bedtime struggle. When I finally was able to go to sleep it was well after midnight. As I’ve said, I’m exhausted. This morning all my alarms were turned off so I could sleep as long as I needed. I woke in a start. I was dreaming about being in class atContinue reading “The Sun is Shining…”
Day 10
Our newest boy has been with us for 10 days… it seems like a lot longer. The kid has so much trouble sleeping. We finally discovered that it’s best to have him in the complete dark with a night light and to set expectations… but it’s only in the last 2 nights that even thatContinue reading “Day 10”
Stay In the Uncomfortable
The morning my husband left for Texas to be with his family was going to be a great day with the kids. I had plans set up and help lined up for when I needed it. Shortly after waking up, I got a call from the caseworker, saying that the birth mom was granted aContinue reading “Stay In the Uncomfortable”
Choose Joy
The kids’ case worker did a home visit yesterday. They got good news. So, yesterday morning… I did a spinning class with my favorite instructor/friend. As I was hydrating… we chatted as per usual. I made a statement that “I was ready to go back to work. Also, is it sad that I’m hoping toContinue reading “Choose Joy”

It came to a head shortly after my grandfather passed away in 2002, 6 months after September 11th. I came home from 2 weeksContinue reading “Archive: My Miracle”
Missed Visits
Both birth mom and Dad canceled visits this morning… I think I’m more devastated for the kids than they are. Good thing I always believe in backup plans. We are off for a bike ride. this should be fun. So, the bike ride went bust quickly. Instead, we went to the library and the kidsContinue reading “Missed Visits”
Prepping Content
I’ve been handwriting content for the other segments of this site for days now. Tonight, while my family was watching the fireworks, I stayed inside and starting to comb through files for my kickboxing section. And then, I saw a pic from when I was new to kickboxing with 3 of my people from cyclebar.Continue reading “Prepping Content”
200th Ride Mile Stone!
Background: I was scheduled to have my 200th ride right after my birthday at the beginning of May. Instead, I had to take a long break from exercise sitting at 198 rides. Not complaining because in the process I became a mom again, got my health in order and build a better foundation to pushContinue reading “200th Ride Mile Stone!”
Back on the Mat
Today was the first time in over a month that I’ve been on the training mat hitting up on Bobby the Bag with one of my favorite humans ever. She kicks my butt and I hate her for it, but I can’t help but love her after class is over. My body remembers how toContinue reading “Back on the Mat”
