Hey, you. Yep, you-reading this post. The one who forgot to put on mascara today. The one who scored yesterday a success because you remembered to brush your kid's teeth. To you, who started isolation at the beginning of October and who hasn't left the house since. You know who you are-you choose your yoga pants each day by "the black ones" or "the faded black ones". And you, who may not have kids yet but you nonetheless, find yourself in the "Ground Hog Day" rut. To you, who saved your big ... View the Post
When You Lose Your Sticky
I'm a list maker. I have a calendar that synchs with my phone, my IPAD, my computer, my husband's calendar and most importantly, my head. I'm usually pretty good at mentally keeping post it note reminders stuck in my brain, recalling them at the right moment and completing the task. Current state of having an 18 month old notwithstanding, my normal nature is to be organized. Unless you look in my car. Or my closet. But sometimes friends, it just ain't enough. You feeling me? This week the ... View the Post
Planet Reality
So, it was a big weekend for Team Hucks. On Friday, we had the unbelievable opportunity to speak to a crowd of 20,000 Ronald McDonald supporters. It was quite an experience, and maybe one of the coolest things we've done, ever. We told Tucker's story and gave much deserved praise for the Ronald McDonald House that served our family for 5 months. We love that house so much and were honored to be able to speak about the perfectness of it's mission. It was surreal and wonderful. Tucker got a ... View the Post
Downton Abbey Made Me Lose My Parking Ticket
It was totally Downton’s fault. In my last post I mentioned that I watch Downton Abbey when I’m on the treadmill (no commercials= happy). I am finishing up Season 3 and had just a few episodes left. So I decided that I had just enough time to get an early workout in before Darrin left for work and before I had to take T to the neurologist. So, I hopped on my frien-emy, the treadmill. But it was that episode. If you're a Downton watcher, you know the one. The one about an early delivery, ... View the Post
13.1. No Joke.
"For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it." Hebrews 12:11 I don’t like running. My body’s not made for it. I think my body is literally surprised (sometimes downright offended) when I pull on the lycra-climate-cooled-micro-fiber-aerodynamic running gear. No matter how cute it looked on the mannequin. And so my body was pretty confident that I was joking when 3 years ago, as I ... View the Post
Banana Runts and Rookie Stunts
I'm coming up on a few days of work travel and my first time away from Tucker since he was born (sniff) so I took a day off this week to have some one on one time with our thinks-he's-a-big-shot-now 1 year old. I had the list ready for all that I would accomplish during his nap. A little work. A run on the treadmill (the 1/2 marathon training could be described as dismal). And if he took an extra long nap I would be able to (gasp) read my US Weekly. Maybe even last week's. Double gasp. Here's ... View the Post
