The BIG Announcement

 

Seriously. 

Did you actually think that at my age I'd be announcing a new baby? 

You guys are too funny!!

 

Anywho, she arrives today at ...sometime between 11 - 3.  Delivery companies have the best business practices.  I would have loved being able to say to my boss that I'll be there somewhere between 8 - 11.  Anyway, it's kinda like Christmas around here today.  In the sense that I have this huge exciting new toy coming and just like a kids at Christmas who rips open their presents and then has to rush off to the relatives houses, I will have to wait - about 2 weeks - before I'll ever get to use it. 

 

I want it NOW!

 

That's like the worse torture ever for a runner who doesn't mind running on a mill.  I frankly loooove knowing that I have no excuse when it comes to running each day.  I already love her.  Knowing that when the super secret spy has to travel, I won't have to stress over taking LBM out in the jogger if the weather is too wintry for him.  Our new addition will be such a blessing.

 

She doesn't have a name.  Since she will be discuss at length in the blog I should call her something. 

Any ideas?

 



Doesn't Anyone Sleep Around Here??

Day # 156 ~ p.m. run 6.5 miles

There I was last night enjoying my evening run with Jr. biking sherpa and LBM blindly thinking that life was cruising along in it's nice chaotic insane orderly routined way.  When...

BAMMM!

LBM refuses to stay in bed until nearly 1:30 a.m.  Yes, that's in the middle of the night people!

THEN Army son decides to convey his future plans via text message at 1:30 also.

What?  Were they conspiring?

Didn't I just get done telling the world

(well at least the Face Book world)

how much I love routine?!?

This is to be my-world-is-mostly-rosey place

BUT

today my eyes are so bloodshot that it looks a little bit red.

And for that reason you get a glimpse into the craziness that sometimes happens

when you have a 20 year old, a 9 year old, and a 2 year old.

and a hubbs who sometimes falls in there somewhere inbetween.  He acts like it anyway!

Day # 157 - a.m. run 3.5 miles

After very very very little sleep I got S'ghetti girl (she's now my favorite!) off to school and a sleepy LBM and I went off for some give-mommy-some-strength-Lord run time.

It helped. 

A little.

For all you mommies with little ones who want to pull out your hair.

Think of me and remember that these days....

...these kinds of moments are fleeting.

Although they tire you at this age enjoy every moment and complain about none of them.

And when they start to drive you crazy go for a run...

it always helps

a little.
