rough night on the home front

got out for 5 laps around the block last night. the block i speak of is almost exactly 1 mile in length so it was a good little workout. the ankle is definitely sore but not terrible. if there is time, i might be hitting the treadmill tonight.

sometimes i feel bad about leaving the house to run after being away at work all day. but this 30 - 60 minutes is much needed. it's like a reminder of who i am while we are in the haze of this new life we have embarked upon. i know that after a while this will all seem the norm, but right now i still feel like we have adopted someone else's life. people say that we should be enjoying every minute of this newborn's life. but i think the reason that most people with kids say that is because the first two months suck more than they don't and their clouded memory of the infant time is from the self induced amnesia that is the only way one can perservere without a major emotional melt down.

it is not that bad. he is a great little baby and i am happy for every minute with him. but this tiny human can and does occasionally bring two strong successful adults to their knees.

happy tuesday.
