Rescue Me

Making the transition from Social Worker, to Wife, to Mom, to ?

Name:
Location: Rescue, United States

I have been married to my husband for 6 years. I am currently a Stay at Home Mom, which I love. I have my Masters Degree in Social Work, and may consider returning to work when our son starts school full time. Right now, he is my job.

I did it!

I went, I survived the class, and it was kind of fun. I'm exhausted, and I suck at the routines, but I should catch on eventually. The class had a real mix of people. Older and younger, skinny and fat. I probably fell somewhere in the middle. It wasn't a huge class, and there are no mirrors! Hurray! I hate watching myself, I'm so uncoordinated.
Now, I just have to make myself go every week!

I've hit the wall

I've finally come to the place where I can't stand how I look anymore. I still have about 10 lbs of post baby weight that I need to lose, and I feel like a slug.
I've decided to take Jazzercise classes, and today is the day I start.

I'll probably hate them at first. I haven't done it since college and I wasn't good at it then, so it will probably be really hard this time around. But, I have to do something. I refuse to join a health club, too expensive, and they feel like a 'singles bar'. This will be cheaper, and hopefully I'll actually start meeting people in the area.

I hate starting new things. My innate shyness is always a problem. I have to 'fake' my way through the initial process until I'm comfortable with it. I sure hope this goes well.

Let the Holiday season begin

Since when did Christmas start right after Halloween? Barely, at that. Most stores had their Christmas decorations up with the Halloween stuff. Now, its all about Christmas. The music, the decorations. Sigh. It seems to get earlier ever year.
I can actually remember when the Christams decorations didn't go up until after Thanksgiving. I guess that just shows how old I am. :)
