If you're looking for something different to do physically, why not try the Color Me Rad Run! I just signed up. While I won't be running as much as I'm walking...this looks like a blast!

Some friends are doing it and I thought I'd join in. Haven't run much in the last year. I've switched over to walking. That persistant injury in my right leg just wouldn't give in even after physical therapy. I miss running but walking can be just as satisfying and will probably sustain me through the rest of my life without tearing my body down.

E received his Tiger Cub Badge this February, we were all so proud!
R surprised us with two baby ducklings just before Easter
We've been fishing and....
...and fishing...
...and fishing some more!
Full Grown Quackers: Maude and Lucy
Recent Reads: Anne of Green Gables and Princess: Life Behind the Veil. The second book is a must read and has really opened my eyes to the lack of women's rights in other parts of the world. Matter of fact, my heart is broken for the majority of the women in Saudi Arabia. Read the book.
C just found a baby blue jay in the yard, it had fallen from its nest. May have happened last night with our violent winds. We may be taking it in...so I gotta run!

It's me, did you miss me?
I haven't blogged in an eternity. I think FB hijacked my need to spill. Mostly, I just spy on FB. I just go around and check on friends and peruse the pictures. It's not as appealing to me as it once was.
Well, it's the end of February and I'm right in the middle of my Winter Funk that I have realized now I get EVERY year. This winter has been odd and it certainly would have helped if we'd been able to afford a ski trip but nonetheless, I'm trudging along.
This week actually according to the forecast is going to bode as if Spring were here already. What a tease! I'm so done with it already.
I just read through some of my old blog. The one I hide away because honestly I had too much to say and didn't filter myself enough. I really let it go on there. This blog has been more discreet. But then, I'm not dealing with my own personal 9-11 anymore. Well, mostly.
Right now I'm in the middle of switching gears in my life. I'm technically in grad school to become a school counselor. I didn't start this semester because I had an opportunity to learn how to do an assessment. Still working through that but the further I get into it, the more I know, it's back to the front lines for kiddos for me. It's just my heart's calling. I can't sit on the side lines. Sometimes, I even think about going back into Child Welfare although there's no feasible way to do that. I'm a Mom first. I have to have a kid friendly schedule.
Currently, I am seeking employment within a school. Hoping to get my foot in the door. I have already been offered a job but it didn't fit and I have an interview tomorrow. That one feels right but we'll see.
I've not got anything witty or crass to say. I know I need to be better about blogging but for what reason I am not entirely sure. I'm off FB for Lent. Honestly, I don't know about FB. I don't know if I'll be back at least for some time.
Right now, I feel a bit alone and isolated as I wrestle things out. Winter does this to me. All that brown and dead. I don't have anything brilliant to share, I'm just marking time as to where I am right now.
Possibly later, the words will come to me and I'll be a bit more witty.
All for now.
