The End of An Era

I try to never be negative in life and especially on this blog, but this morning sucked! It was a morning that had my eyes welling up with tears and I could in real time feel the hands of time ripping the youth and soul out of my body. For the last like five years I have had the honor, privilege and good luck to be able to take both of my children to school to drop them off every morning. But now since my daughter is starting high school and all the high schools in this county start at like 725AM (who made that decision?)I will not be able to drop both of them off at the same time next year. 

 My daughter is in eighth grade and could care less about hanging out with me, so dropping them off has been almost the time we all three got to spend together. But every morning we had our little routine and we got to talk as a family and it has been really nice. It's an experience I'll never get to have again because I'm pretty sure I'm not going to have any more children. It's not just not getting to do this everyday that is making me feel sad but it's also the fact that my children are getting older and by science that means I'm getting older. After today I'll have a daughter that is starting high school. What? Did I read that right? How is this possible? Where did the time go? I had my sunglasses on so my kids could not see but I literally had a tear in my eye when I realized this was happening this morning. It sucked. Sorry to be negative but I have to write content and this was on my mind today. 

The Artwork-What is always on its way but never arrives?” Answer: Tomorrow. That's right, today's artwork is the Riddler. You know-from Batman. This guy definitely reminds me of the 1960’s Adam West campy television series version of The Riddler. But he looks cool. I love his staff that he holds because of the way the top of it forms a question mark. Then if you notice all over his green suit there are question marks everywhere. But I think what makes this one look more sinister than anything is the lack of any type of color in his eyes. You can tell he is up to no good. This was a fun one to draw.

What does a liar do when he dies? Answer: He lies still

Day 40 of the elliptical-Day 23 (out of 60) of 60 minutes straight on the elliptical. I did all 52 minutes on setting 5 yesterday, then I did eight minutes on setting six.  It was not easy. I'm going to try to do a few more minutes on six today and then do the entire hour on six in a few days.  Then I'll slowly move up to where I can do an entire hour on setting 9, which is the hardest setting.
