Down, but not out

Oy.  What a week.  Let's just say that right now I'm loving the thought of today being Saturday! 

Thankfully this week also had its fair share of good stuff:

• Baby Girl has adapted very well to our new 'working mom' schedule: She adores her new sitter and I can often hear them laughing and giggling in the room next door while I work.  Part of me (a BIG part!) wishes that it could be me laughing and spending time with her; while another part of me is also extremely thankful that she's happy and that the transition went smoothly.  Wow - motherhood is certainly not for sissies!
• I discovered the most amazing place to run this week: It has dirt roads, beautiful views and is only a stone throw away from where we live.  The only down side, though, is that it's a bit secluded and that I don't feel safe going there alone...  Until now Will has graciously volunteered as my (poor) sidekick - tagging along in the freezing cold for my running pleasure.  I'll have to find a more permanent solution though - maybe pepper spray and a prodder will do the trick?

•  I re-discovered the head-clearing powers of a chilly winters run at the end of a long working day.  Gotto love it.

Hope you all have an amazingly awesome weekend.  Live.  Every.  Moment!
