Oh my aching bod..

This is week 2 of my attempt at running. As of now I am up to 1 mile running and 1 mile walking. Slowly but surely it is getting better. I have noticed that I have lost about 3lbs and that I have been so out of shape! My legs and butt are so so sore. Anyway, I got up this morning at 5:30 before work and ran and am amazed at how great I feel. Just thought I'd share what is going on in my life!!

Super Duper Cute!!!

Oops!

A few months ago at Maclaine's kindergarten check-up, her doc suggested that she might need glasses b/c she had some trouble looking at their eye chart. I thought the whole time...You aren't an eye doc and your chart is stupid and she has no trouble seeing. Well, I decided to get baseline eye check ups for the whole fam and ended up needing them myself. Yesterday was Maclaine's appt and boy do I now feel like the worst mom ever. It turns out that she is very farsighted and has bad eyes. Her prescription is so strong that he wouldn't give her glasses that she really needs yet b/c it would probably make her sick. So, now she has 2 cute pairs of glasses and I am having trouble looking at her and not feeling guilty. I tried to look through them and they are so strong that I couldn't see anything. Bless her heart. Who knew that parenthood could make you feel like the worst person ever. I asked her why she didn't tell me that she was having trouble seeing and she replied "Mom you are always at work" (double whammy.)

overwhelming

Well, today is Len's last day of summer and I think he is not very happy about that. I cannot believe it is over. We did have one of our best summers yet...I think. Between travel baseball for Mason, basketball camp for both, fishing, lake trips,and the beach we have been very busy. I am excited and overwhelmed about having both of the kiddos in school full time this year. I got my 07-08 planner yesterday and have been filling it out only to find that it is completely stressing me out! That is not good. On the other hand, how nice it should be to have my days that I am off work FREE!!! I have dreams that I will go to the gym daily, TRY to take up running (not holding my breath on that one) and keep up with the laundry and house work. In Len's eyes I will have no excuses. I have news for him...there are certain things mommies must do to keep sanity in the home. For example...manis/pedis, catching up on 6 years of missed tv, bubble baths, naps...you get the picture! Well, I must quit dreaming and get back to work.

Thankful Thursday...

Okay, today I have alot to be thankful for but right now I happen to be very hungry. I have worked all day and came home to an empty fridge and messy kitchen. I an thankful for good food! I know that sounds stupid, but right now I would give anything to have a great home-cooked meal that I didn't have to cook! He he. I have so many great memories of my family sitting down together for dinner. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen much in my family.
