***A few parts may be a little explicit; sorry!***
The feel of nice clean sheets, or a "light or hard kiss" (because 'I like kisses mommy'), or baby soft skin rubbing across my face...
The taste of an exquisite meal, cooked with the help of four very small hands, a sweet kiss from someone I love so dearly, or an ice cold beer on a hot day...
The sound of K-love (I really love this station!), especially my new favorite 'Lead Me' by Sanctus Real, my children's laughter- it's like angels ringing in my ears, and the words 'I love you' from a 2 1/2, 4 1/2 and 30 year old...
The smell of fresh cut grass, a nice clean baby, or a fresh cup of coffee (since I don't drink caffeine and my brother tells me drinking decaf is like sex without an orgasm; I often just savor the smell)...
On another note, you know what is NOT a simple pleasure? A gym. You may ask what? But yes, I repeat, a gym- like the kind of room full of cardio machines where people are sweating grotesquely; a room full of weights that is meant to only make things burn and ache, and often really hurt if not done right; especially a room full of people who are trying to impress other people by what they can do. This, to me, is like hell on earth. Most recently, I know- be proud of me, I joined the Kernersville YMCA. A place where family is brought together and supported in an environment aimed at healthy living. A place that is FULL of these kinds of rooms...basketball courts, racquetball courts, walking tracks, numerous pools, aerobic classes including aerobic dance classes, even kiddy work out and play rooms (most of the rooms I am too clumsy to even be aloud to set foot in). PUKE!! It's HELL! It's actually hot in there, especially when you are working your butt off...and you are sticky, and yucky. BUT ALAS~ this place, while it may be good for my body and my ever growing waist size (yes, I have gained almost 15lbs and 2 pants sizes since I moved here); it is better for my mind. It is important that I get up, get motivated, get out of this emotional funk I am in and do something good to release endorphins that will make me happy. THEN, it may not be hell anymore. My sister says she's sorry for me that I see it this way...me too. I'll let you know how I feel in about 6 weeks....
Until then, at least I am following through with my commitment to work out!
Life as we know it...
About Me
- Sarah
- After being a 'single mom' for almost 10 months while my husband pursued his career to better our lives- I find myself entering a new phase of my life to make our hopes and dreams possible...to find the companionship and love of my husband again in an environment where we see each other every day not once a week...and to renew the incredible father daughter relationship that exists in my household.
