All-City

Today was the last track meet of the season - the All City Meet, where all the junior high schools in the city send their top two competitors in each event to compete.

Kyler qualified in all three of his events.

His results were great... he got 6th place out of 15 kids in the 1600 meter, running his personal best time of 5:37.

In the 800, he got 5th out of 16 runners.

His high jump results weren't as great - he was REALLY worn out after his 1600 meter run - the sun was really hot and he ran so hard that he felt kind of sick afterwards - so while he jumped the same height as he has in other weeks, he didn't have much get-up-and-go for his jumps...

Of course, he's most excited about getting donuts at their end-of-the-season party Friday morning.

But I'm excited to have seen him have such a succcessful season. It does a Mommy's heart good.

So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well. I didn't tear up - or need tissue for any fluids defiantly leaking from my facial orifices... until I made the a...
