Tuesday seven

  1. Heat wave! I've been holding out for one last summer hurrah and it finally arrived! We had weather in the upper 70's over the weekend and it's supposed to be 82 today... I had to dig some summer clothes out of the basement... I'd already done the summer/winter wardrobe switch!
  2. Kyler placed fifth in his invitational race last Saturday... His team had 7 runners in the top ten... they're ROCKIN' it this year! Go Tigers!!! There were over 200 runners in the JV race, so I'm pretty stinkin' proud of a fifth place finish.
  3. Sometimes when I go to take pictures off my memory card, I find weird stuff that the kids have done... case in point:
  4. See that hat E. is wearing above? He's been wearing it non-stop for about three years. It's currently missing in action... and I have one devastated ten-year-old. Hope we can find it... makes me sad to lose it too - it's been such a big part of his life for so long, it's like losing an old friend.
  5. Last week was the culmination of every back-to-school, fall start-up event... I was out every single night doing something. This week I finally feel like I've figured out my fall schedule and am settling into a groove... took me awhile, but I think I'm there.
  6. Kyler has a Girl. Friend. He's completely enamored. And it appears that she's likin' on him too. Amazing. And scary. And fun. He's SO cute - totally overthinking the whole thing, asking for lots of guidance and advice and being VERY cautious and thoughtful. He asked her to his homecoming dance yesterday (rose in hand) and she said yes! Enter a new phase of parenting as we walk through his first real 'relationship'... They're 'just friends' for now... but he's got it bad.
  7. I had been sitting five to seven pounds above my goal weight all summer and finally got back down to where I feel best... amazing how much of a difference it makes. Everything fits just right... thankful for the tools to be where I feel my best.

Seven's going to have do be it today... it's time to get the kids out the door and leave for work!

Happy Tuesday, friends!

    Love the new blog look. :) I can feel the crisp in the air.

    My daughter has been "dating" for a while now, and the difference between boys and girls is so evident in this area! Plus, my daughter insists on dating what I will call "fixer uppers" - less than desirable home situations, no manners...and she is exactly the opposite. Drives me crazy! Of course no one will ever be good enough for her.....this whole dating thing is an interesting aspect of parenting. Can't wait to hear more stories. :)

    Yup....we tell people in Diabetes Ed that for every one pound you lose, you take off 4 pounds of pressure from your knees. So imagine if you lose 5 pounds, you've taken 20 pounds of pressure off your knees. :)

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse. You read ...

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

Phlumpyschlumpy.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...
