La-di-da!!

Haven't posted anything in a while, just thought I would put a few thoughts down before I get ready for bed.

Do I ever post anything on here about life not being busy? Well it's not any different this time. I recently competed in my 3rd triathlon! 15 months after Marie was born. Man that's something...I really think there's something about having a child that made the difference in this race. I don't know if Marie was "training" me since she was born, if it's the physical changes your body goes through during pregnancy that allows you to endure more, or if I actually trained better than I've ever trained before (many times I was pushing a stroller on my 3 mile jogs...thanks Marie!!). If you ever feel like you want to try to accomplish something wonderful and a triathlon seems interesting...you won't go wrong with the Danskin triathlons. It's all women and it supports breast cancer. This year was the best one for me because I participated with 2 great women, Christy Lewis and Anne Villari. Oh and being at Disneyworld didn't hurt either. I always get so emotional when I cross the finish line. This year the race fell on Mother's day. There was no way Marie could join me on this trip so it was a little sad when I couldn't run up to her and love on her after the race. But believe me I sure did when I got home.

How do you get things done when you feel like you have so many things to do looming over your head? Not post a blog about it right?!?! I have things like painting my house, painting a cabinet for Marie's room, hanging pictures, ordering pictures that were taken like over 3 months ago (I still haven't ordered pictures from Marie's newborn days...bad mama). It seems like I am in this constant battle of organizing and cleaning. Well ok really there are some times with me sitting on my tushy. I guess it's being overwhelmed with the amount of stuff I want to get done mixed with the amount of things that I want to enjoy. Sometimes nothing gets done. Brad never seems to be overwhelmed. Or so it seems on the outside. Sometimes I think having a regular routine helps keep me organized but then I revolt against routines and then nothing gets done. I used to be just soo organized and had all my ducks in a row. Does having a child really make a person change so much they can't see who they were anymore? Or am I just going crazy...haha. Ok it's not that bad. But how do some women do it? I have a friend who seems to get everything done, or at least that's what she posts on facebook, she even has a job on the side, goes to all sporting events for the family, works her butt off at work and she still seems sane. Thanks for making the rest of us look bad Amber Theinert...ya I said your name.

I have a trip to Seattle planned in less than 2 weeks. I'm pretty excited, never been to that part of the US before. I'm going to a pediatric conference for work but I still get some sight seeing in on a daily basis. Any tips?
