I'm going grey...

Not that I care that much, but I feel like it is a bit symbolic. Of the crazy way time is passing in a blur, how quickly the kids are growing up, and how the old body is starting to break down. Again, I'm not that freaked out about the latter but it does make me think about getting back into shape (better than ever of course)...and doing so many other things. And importantly, I really want to do a better job of capturing the moments, like with this blog post and all of the other ones I think of doing on a regular basis. The key ones that I would have done over the last year (two years really), are the annual key check-ins on the kids, such as for Micaela's 3rd birthday, Avery's 5th birthday, a "Year in the life of the Herages - 2012 version", when we had to put Trus down in early 2013, and so many other smaller, but no less interesting moments...

One of the biggest challenges I have in doing blog posts is that I always want to include pictures...which seems like effort. Combine that with the fact that I almost exclusively take pics on my phone now, and not the camera, means that it would just be easier to blog from my phone - which I rarely do. But I am going to make more effort again...and actually download the pics from the camera that we do take!

I know this post is basically nonsensical, but I was struck by a few thoughts and wanted to get them down before the moment passed. And as for the grey hair...my hairdresser won't let me colour it (thank goodness, because that seems like a lot of work and money), and she has convinced me that my highlights will camouflage it. Or maybe I will just let it go as grey as it wants to, and then pretend like my mom that I have grey highlights on purpose. Denial is a great thing... :)
