I have been feeling extremely tired lately. In part I am sure that is has to do with the fact that Miles and I have been staying up WAY too late, but there has been another component that I haven't been able to put my finger on. I just have been in a funk for the last couple of weeks. Yes, stress over the usual, money, time, cars etc. but it seems more than that. 

I used to work out regularly, having Miles mom and grandmother watch Halleigh while I worked out served two purposes, #1 gave them scheduled time every week when they got to see her and #2 a shove in the right direction to get me to the gym. I stopped having them watch Halleigh, because we started swimming lessons and she had to join the Y in order to participate. So I decided to just take her with me instead and that way it was using my time more effectively. But the result mostly was that I stopped working out. UGH! I hate how predictable I am!

But I have renewed my effort to force myself to the gym under the mental auspices of taking Halleigh swimming for practice... So I take her, work out and then pick her up and we go and swim for a little while. It was fun and I have felt so much better because of it. Where I was tired and draggy all day, I am already starting to feel more energy and just feeling more positive all the way around. Hopefully this will be GOOD BYE funk.

In an update, since our first swimming lesson, Halleigh has become much happier in the water. Today she almost blew bubbles. It was an amazing leap for her. She splashed and floated happily... maybe she is my child after all. ha ha ha Hopefully she will wow everyone at this week's lesson by how comfortable she is in the water now.
