I've actually remembered to come back to this blog! Obviously have far too much time on my hands!
This past month has been emotionally draining, whilst the "diet" and fitness regime went well within the first couple of weeks, it's proving harder in the last couple.
I've joined a local running club, which has brought me back to track running, which i have always liked compared to road running. Felt really proud and like me again after so long, until some shin splints came along to ruin my motivation! It's getting better, and wasn't so hard this week. But i was peed off with the world for a couple of days!
I'm trying to go to the gym everyday and i know that's a step in the right direction, but with 2 jobs, kids and and housework to maintain, it's not easy!
Hubby has been amazing throughout all of this, i've been an emotional wreck and he's helping me through and encouraging me all the way! My immediate family have also been great, which makes it all worth while, especially when i can have a cry on mummys shoulder every now and again!
So i'm a year into a 2nd job that i've been doing. Its really hard but its very nice to work with these people. It's a handy helpers role, in which i go to a disabled person's house and help them with whatever they can't do. Their shopping, cleaning, sorting out paperwork, whatever. I can't call it a job really. But these people are so strong, they have faced things and come through the other side that you or i wouldn't know how to. One of them is nearly 100 years old. She's lost her son, her sister and her beloved, she's had falls every week, and had mini strokes.There's others that i go to in which they suffer from Post Traumatic Stress disorder, which is very hard to be around some weeks. But overall it's a job that feels like i'm helping someone. Even just a little bit.
Somehow, people is my career choice. It always has been. Just not sure on where that needs to be yet.
Boys are growing up too. They are getting along a little better, and my eldest is showing to be a very considerate young man.
I've managed to catch up with some friends this month, which was one of my missions! We are all so busy that it's hard to see each other. But we all seem to have one of those relationships as if we saw each other yesterday. I love that, and although i miss them i know they're not far away!
Time to lure the boys away from the death star battles and bring them back to reality!
Until next time!
