This and That!

I meant to write a blog yesterday...but started and then got side-tracked. OH man, have you ever had those days where you are just full of anxiety. I don't know if it that we started off the morning in a rush and I yelled at the kids and E came to school crying...gosh I hate those mornings. Then I sit here thinking, I have ruined the day! But the plus side is, I'm at the school and I can go check on them! :-) Have I mentioned lately that I love working at the school and being where my kids are. Anywho, so I was feeling really anxious yesterday but couldn't quite put my finger on it. T had his first Jr. High Football game yesterday, was I anxious and nervous for him? OK, mothers is this normal?
So on that, T did have his first football game yesterday and he did SO good. He only played defense and he was a hittin' machine! He is NOT the biggest guy on the team but I think all those years of wrestling really are paying off, he is one of the best tacklers. I'm so proud of him!

NOW that we are back in school and back into sports...it seems like there is never enough time in the evenings to get everything done. E had soccer the other night and then a primary activity. Plus she still had homework to get done! ARGH. Today (Friday) she has spelling test, a map test on the continents and the oceans...holy crap and she is only in 3rd grade. I guess it is safe to say we are back into the FULL swing of things.

Other things that fill my anxiety level:
~running this weekend in a 5 miler....yikes!
~talk in Church on Sunday!

Thank goodness Dave and T will be gone tonight, so I can work on my talk! I think E and I will decorate the house with our fall decorations too. I love to put up new stuff for the new seasons. Plus I'm loving the FALL /summer like weather. It has been 80 degrees all week. I LOVE it!

I will post pics later on of Ts 1st jr. high football game.
I hope you all have a great weekend and enjoy this weather!

I'm hoping to run well, in around 50 minutes and for nothing but rest on Sunday...naps and football!

Have the ....time of your life!

Good luck on your run, Cand. We should do a race together sometime...if I ever get my butt back in shape!

You are awesome! I envy those who can run like that. I have no coordination at all.
