Hurricane

So september for a kindergarten teacher looks well....insane. Ive been super busy and I am glad to say that this hurricane of a life is beginning to slow down. Once school and swim practice for the little ones started, I began to feel like the water was beginning to rise; and rising quickly it sure was. After about two weeks of the hectic and restless lifestyle I finally broke down. Literally, I was giving up on my own happiness, I was a different person toward Dom, and I was becoming so overwhelmed it made me forgetful at work and even while driving..yea totally weird. After one morning of total hysteria, I finally saw it...I was doing too much for others and not enough for me. With all of this frustration and madness i talked it out with Jackie and Dom to find a solution. One thing was clear and that was a quote from Einstein that Dom kept saying in the back of my mind: "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results". It couldn't have been more clear..I needed  to make a change. I decided to resign from coaching and focus on work, grad school and most importantly Dom and my family. I still have one more night at the pool but I could not be happier with that choice.

As for the great things in life...my family. Everyone is healthy and we will be seeing a lot more of each other becaus of birthdays, weddings, and my favorite holidays. It has been so great hearing about KayKay enjoying PSU and I can't wait until next weekend to chat with her about it! LaLa is also finishing up at bloom, which is so fantastic. I'm soooo excited to see what her next steps will be! Momma and Dad just celebrated 34 years of marriage and I cannot be more grateful for all they have done and sacrificed for my sisters and me. Jackie and jake are great with a brand new bed and super big t.v...awesome. Finally, Dom and I are so great. It's amazing to feel and see our relationship grow stronger in these tough times. He has been my stay at home wifey, knight in shining armor, and my stability. Keeping me calm, making me breakfast, lunch and dinner (yep he does) and just helping me to laugh and relax at home. I couldn't ask for a better guy. He has been my savior in all of this.

As for me, I feel good. Really good. I haven't felt more like ME for the longest time and I truly feel like I'm back. Back to my old, happy, helpful and super positive self. Yayay maybe I will even start running again...hmmm I hope I didn't speak too soon...love you all and thanks for reading. MWUAH**
