what excites me?

Today a very exciting thing happened in our house! The most exciting thing this whole year!
Big Boy POOPED in the POTTY!!! YES he did and we did the poopy in the potty dance and he got a new car (that he has already lost!!!). We are so proud!

knee

Well after 4 days of rest I set out to hit the pavement again tonight. I ran as far as the end of the house next to us and had to turn around and walk home. My knee was hurting pretty badly. It is not the worst pain I’ve ever felt, but [...]

Cuteness …

Is it okay for me to think my boys are the CUTEST boys ever. I am so in love with them and they continue to crack me up. Today we got out of the house to go to Target and visit Laura at the mall and they both wore hats (well in the [...]

scary.

Scared is how I’m feeling right now. Scared for my boys and what their future may hold. I just watched Oprah from yesterday and it scared me to death. She had a man on there that was kidnapped in 1974 at the age of 13, and held captive for 18 months. She [...]

Random things.

Here are a few random things I would like to talk about today:
1. Ash Wed was yesterday and I didn’t even know it until half way through the day. I found a blogger who wrote about Lent. Here it is: Lacey and Ginger. Also check out this site on Wilkipedia about [...]

5 miles!

I don’t remember the last time I ran 5 miles. Probably over 10 years ago in high school cross country! Oh my gosh today my body ran for 51 minutes and 21 seconds without stopping. Boy am I proud! After 3 miles I had to pass by our house and [...]

Lent and Ash Wed

I have noticed lately that most of my thoughts that don’t involve kids, meals, diapers, bath time, or bed time occur to me during my workouts. This is the first time I’ve worked out this much since high school. It is hard and most days I dread it, but there is something about [...]

at the end.

Today as I was running at the gym I noticed an elderly couple coming into the Y. The man had a head full of gray hair and looked tired, as if his days are long. His wife was being pushed by him in her wheelchair. As they entered the Y, a smile [...]

Don’t feel like it

This is a day I DO NOT feel like running. Hubby is home! Kids are being so good! Hubby and I are sitting at the kitchen table, talking and catching up, drinking coffee and checking emails. Pure bliss!
But I will eventually go run ……

Little boy is sick

No church for us today. I LOVE our new church and hate to miss (isn’t that a cool feeling!), but today the little one is under the weather. He started with fever last night and today still has fever. He is now napping and I haven’t heard a peep out of him. [...]
