"Arms Tired, Feet Hurt!"

When I worked in the formal wear shop, this time of year, prom and wedding season, would be trying on me. Lots of long hours spent ripping out seams on tuxedo hems, washing, ironing and starching shirts, hemming pants and putting total outfits together. Most of the time was spent standing on concrete floors, daytime drifting into nighttime and the work just kept on going. At the end of these hard days our boss would sometimes come around and ask how I was doing. My favorite phrase was always "arms tired, feet hurt!" It became a signature line, a private joke between us.

I find myself still saying this phrase on particularly hard days or moments in my life. I said it on Tuesday after walking all over cobblestone streets in Savannah when my husband asked if I was ready to go home..."yep, legs tired and feet hurt!"

Writing this post tonight has kinda of been like that old prom and wedding season for me. I am having a "head aches, brain tired!" evening. There are thoughts in my brain that could possibly make sense and even make a decent posting but for some reason I can't get the thoughts organized and down to my fingertips to share with you. I can only hope that tomorrow will be a better day and I will be able to write my heart once again.

It is Friday, hopefully a fabulous Friday for you and yours. I will be spending the day at a playdate with my girl and her pre-K friends. I am certain there will be lots to report at the end of this day.

Living Happily In the Moment!
