In a slump

[pegkerr]

It's been very difficult the past few days, and I'd be hard pressed to say why. Winter slump/doldrums. The house and my office are messy, swamped with papers, which always makes me wild with irritation. It's been extremely difficult to get the girls to do their homework, practice their violins, pick up their rooms, etc. Cooperation is at an all-time ebb. I whacked away at piddley stuff today, balancing my checkbook, but feel overwhelmed with all the life-maintenance stuff I need to do. Have been weaseling out of doing my workouts lately; went out and bought new aerobics shoes today and am renewing my determination to get up and do workouts, at 5:15 a.m., God help me. Tomorrow for sure, I promise.

Sometimes life is both so uninteresting that there seems hardly any point at writing journal entries and so loathsome that one can hardly bear the dreary details. Ugh.

In a funk,
Peg

Awww. I'm sorry, but don't worry, all you need is one ray of sunshine to spread and light up everything else. I know, corny, but one good thing basically colors everything else. Watch a good movie or read a good book, always a good pick me up (Chicago is lovely btw). I'm impressed that even in the doldrums you manage to to find the will to work out. Even on my good days, that kinda will power is scarce:D And I'm sure your kids will surprise you, they always do.
Cheer up^_^ When all else fails, look to your Aragorn action figure:D

Thanks

Your last line, in particular, about my Aragorn action figure made me laugh.

Actually, it's quite funny: I've noticed that when I'm working out on my aerobic step in my office, and I do one of the more energetic turns, Aragorn starts shimmying because the bookcase shakes a bit. It cracks me up every time.

ha ha! Who says Kings can't get down?^_^ Now I'm laughing; I have this mental image of an ickle Aragorn shaking and shimmying. Who knew he had a secret clubbing life?:D So that's what the side door is for...
Glad you laughed though^_^
