Setting goals for long term achievements.

This is not my strong point. I am the care taker of three small children. I put out fires a lot of my day.Things that are planned are a lot of times don't happen because of one reason or another. But I really like being in physical shape and I like the energy and the amount of work I get accomplished when I am in shape.
The past two weeks I have been sick. Just sick and sleepy with this cold congestion crap. Everytime I spend time recovering I always get the itch to exercise. So the goal now is to cut my mile time down. I will start very slowly. And work my way to whittle down my time. Outside in the cold is my first obstacle I must overcome. Then there is the motive to listen to new music. And then there is my dislike of running I have to get over.

I plan on running. Becoming a runner. A good runner. I used to be a runner. Now I am a walk runner. I love to walk. Maybe I will be a walker..... I also like bikes..... Man I have ADD.

The Halloween Post

Ok it is a bit behind but last weekend was a total blast. We went to the church's Trunk or Treat, Went to an awesome Halloween party, road the last run on the Spookie Train in Old Sac. Then wrapped it all up with some trick or treating in the old neighborhood. Man I want to do it all over again.
Can't wait to see what this holiday season brings! Hope less candy!

Foreign Service Anyone?

Ok the Band passed the exam. What exam you ask the Foreign Service Officer Exam. Well the initial exam. He now has go through the narrative and then oral interview. We are so excited this is his dream job. Seriously I am scared to the point of nervous giddy laughter. We'll see what happens.

YEAH BAND!!

Never thought I would type this....

This afternoon I was looking out the back windshield to check if it was safe to make a lane change on the freeway. I couldn't believe what I saw. A frog. (yeah It was hard for me to beleive my eyes too) was trying to scale the back window! I was freaking out and then asked the kids if the frog was on the inside or outside. They started shrieking and I knew it was on the inside. The sound of excitement mixed with terror ensued. I knew I needed to clean the van but really? Seriously? A fully grown frog??? WHAT the WHAT?

We got home and we unloaded EV-E-RY thing which included four jackets of Thing 1 that I had been looking for :)

Could not, still cannot Believe a frog was in my VAN!

Woot woot for do it your self hair!

Ok there are things that I must confess. I don't know which I love more the long flowing hair or the beautiful short sassy hair. I like the sassy for now.

Damage report... A++ Ode to thing 2

Some times the list works to work it out.

-The fish last night jumped on Thing 1's bed and fell on the foot of the bed. Split his eyebrow right open. No stitches just glued shut.
- Thing 2 just cut her hair. Let's just say it is Business in the front and party in the back. I have to deal with it after school tomorrow.
-We all woke up with soar throats..... Yeah
Rough day. I think we will be good but I didn't take a chance kept everyone home. I am really excited to see the sun tomorrow it was not so good not being in our regular routine:( I am kicking everyone into gear tomorrow.

We are going to have a do over.
