Ugly Beautiful Truths

One of my favorite daily blogs, posted yesterday and today about "Beautiful Ugly Truths". Beautiful ugly truths are those things we don't like to admit about ourselves whether it be about our laziness, habits, or shortcomings. She has inspired me to write down a few (and there are many, many more) of my ugly beautiful truths so here goes...

1. I rarely, if ever, wash fruit before eating it. Except for grapes. For some reason, I always wash grapes. I cannot explain it.

2. For the first time in my life, I am having trouble getting back in an exercise routine. I have always been motivated to workout, to be fit and to feel good about myself. Lately, the only motivation I have is to make myself another grilled cheese and it is far too easy to just blame it on the baby and his schedule and winter. I have blamed it to death on those things.

3. I worry a lot about how I will integrate work back into my life in the fall, even though I am only going back into the office part time. Work=stress (that I bring on to myself) for me and the last thing I want to do is to bring that stress home with me on work days. What worries me even more is stressing throughout the days that I am home with Colin and not truly enjoying him and the privileged of being home (even if it isn't every single day).

Feels good to write these things down. Somehow it almost validates them.
