Bujustments

“A merry year is born like the bright berry from the naked thorn” – Harley Coleridge. I have no idea what that means, but I had to find a chipper saying to write on my chalkboard for the new year and this one kind of snuck out on me. It was time to erase since I still had the list of things my family was grateful for for Thanksgiving.
A merry year to you my friends. Like Oprah says, it’s another year to try and get it right. What are you trying to get right this year? Well let me tell you about me.
I’m getting into the yoga thing. Yep. It’s good for me. Ron makes fun of me, but he’s just jealous. He walks around the house saying “Breathe in the life… breathe out the death”. Oh whatever I’ve never even said that. He’s a nut.
And I’m going to have a baby in May. Wow. Now that’s a life change for ya. I’ve been married six and a half years and we ran out of excuses. Two years ago I showed Ron my wall calendar and pointed to September 1st of 2005. I said, “See this honey? See this date? That’s when we’re getting pregnant, whether you like it or not.” He smiled a kind of boyish smile and said, “OK”.
So my conception date was Sept. 1st, 2005. Ron was late for work that day. That’s all I have to say about that.
My midwife has this little wheel thing she uses to tell me when I’m due, but it’s all a little confusing to me, I mean isn’t 40 weeks more than nine months? Anyways, I was never good at math so I’m just taking her word for it.
It’s gone well so far, except for the fact that I was so sick in my second month that I begged my husband to take me out back with his .42. And I have a touch of sciatica. You know, butt pain. Hurts when I sit, hurts when I stand up, but when I’m walking it’s all good. Now I have to go to my chiropractor to get a bujustment.
Anyways, so I hope you have a fabulous beginning of the new year and that you weren’t too hard on yourself with resolutions. I have resoluted to being a little gentler, a little kinder with myself. To change my sheets once a week, be honest with my friends and try and keep in touch with my family a little better. And to learn all about yoga. Breathe in the life… breathe out the death… just kidding.
