You, Mr. 4Am phone caller, know who you are... unfortunately, after the phone rang at such an unGodly hour, I couldn't fall immediately back asleep and when the alarm went off two hours later I must have turned it off, turned over and slept some more. The next thing I knew I was nearly late for my 9am meeting. I was pretty bummed that I didn't make practice. I would have liked that assisted dropback adjustment again. I could feel it in the front of my body this morning. Rad.

Tonight was The Son's Celebration of Writing at school. It was pretty amazing. He read a story that he wrote. He read it clearly, with accuracy, with emotion.. people laughed at the humor. It's so amazing to see your kids sparkling and growing and prospering. We watched a video of their year and one of the things I noted was just how much hands on learning they do. Kids scattered across the floor doing math problems in teams... not the institutionalized, sitting in a desk for 6 hours picture I had of public school. It's a great stereotype crusher.

The Daughter is infatuated with The Son's best friend. She's five. I'm scared.

I have now committed myself to doing a day at Legoland with The Son and his best friend followed by a day at the new American Girl's store with The Daughter and L. That should be interesting... a lesson in patience at the very least.

I am wearing the cutest shirt today from Hard Tail. I am very glad that the Hard Tail store is all the way in Santa Monica.

I think the majority of Ashtangi.NET is finally working again. I had a bunch of email problems earlier on but I think the domain name change has finally gone all the way through. Could this have been anymore of a nightmare? On the plus side, I really dig DotNetNuke. It's very cool.

The Husband and I haven't gone out on date night in forever. Our respective families have apparently gotten tired of being the designated babysitters. We've now asked The Nanny to come one night this weekend... it will cost a fortune just to have The Nanny let alone do anything together. I'm not sure I'm ready for a $6 per hour high school kid though.

Tim is gone all week. Bummer.

I was gonna do a self-practice tomorrow because I still don't feel like being in the energy at the studio but I really need the heat so I suppose I will go regardless. I hope I can find a corner and just keep all my own energy on my own mat.

I realized today that my annual conference is in like 2 months. I believe I'm speaking in two sessions this year... that's a lot of prep work and I haven't even decided what the content will be. I'm totally lagging... Orlando --- any ashtanga?

Inhale... exhale... inhale... keep moving... keep churning through life... keep belief in what you believe... keep with the emptiness... let go of things that don't feel like they serve you... just let go... let go and relax... and exhale.
