Today was my first day on the court.  It has been over a year, so I was so excited to get on the court that only putting on my tennis clothes was enough to get me in a good mood.   Yes, tennis is like riding a bike, once you've played it well, its there for the rest or your life.  It's so much mental, I know its all about attitude. If I'm thinking how lucky I am to be on the court once again, then I enjoy every second of it and life is good! If I start thinking that I need to play good, then the fun is gone.  So I've decided to enjoy every ball I get to hit. 

I step on the court, my knees are remembering that they can hurt too.  My inner thighs all of a sudden start jumping.  I now realize how much I get to use these muscles.  And the truth is after five months of giving birth for the second time, that's still the weakest part in my body. A big change from once having them very strong to feeling them shake after a light work out.  I've been to the gym now consistently, and I know that every time I work on my inner thighs I cry. I do some extra stretching, but not even that is enough against the "BIG BIRTH" It's getting better but I'm still far from being in the shape I once was.

Anyway I'm very enthusiastic about exercising, but I know I need to start little by little, but it's hard to see a ball and not run full speed after it.  
The good news is that at least it worked out perfect with Annika, she's still not eating from the bottle and her worst time is between 5pm to 7pm.  So I know it's a bit tough when my only available time to play is from 6pm to 7pm.  But Hakan is great, he knows it will be challenging (to say the least) to be with both Daniel and Annika at this time. And that most likely he will have to endure about 1hour of Annika crying.  And believe me when I tell you this, "THAT IS NO PICNIC".  But he's willing to do it for the sake of his wife playing an hour of tennis twice a week. This is when I really think he is the greatest!  
Like in any relationship sometimes I would like to kill him and I know that no one is perfect and that loving means accepting with the good and the bad.  But I must say that when it comes to supporting me so that I can have some time for myself, HE IS AMONG THE BEST I'VE EVER SEEN.
