A Day In the Life

-
Here is a few pictures from a typical day.  I failed to keep up on them after lunch...

Here is a photo of the teen in his natural habitat.  I drive him the scant 1.68 miles to school every day now that the weather is cooler.  Aren't I nice?  And yes, this is the only way I could get him in the shot.


The view when I drive out of the school parking lot is pretty neat.  This is our Nebraska State Capitol building.  The sun is coming up behind me and is shining on this beautiful, historic building.  Pretty neat.


I wake up pretty hungry every morning, and I'm always thankful that these taco wagons are not open yet. 
 In the short stretch of 27th Street, I pass two of them PLUS a D'Leon's Authentic Mexican Cuisine...which actually IS open 24 hours.

So, I just come home and eat something that looks more like this:


It's better for me - but I sure would rather have a big. badass. burrito.

I won't go into detail about what this picture is about - but let's say that our 3 year old son isn't ready to stand up and use the rest room yet.


Our little buddy, Kyler, is about 10 months old and we all enjoy him to pieces!  We take care of him a few days a week while his Mommy and Daddy go to work.  We've had him since day one - it's amazing to get to know his little personality.  I pray that I will be able to continue with my daycare.  It's been a little nerve wracking lately, as I haven't yet found replacements for 2 of the children that have left.  It will be fine - it always is!


While or little friend takes his morning nap, we read books and work on school.  Our Kindergartner is doing quite well with math, but I can't get her to write her letters on a regular basis.  I've been pointing out the words in the books in hopes that writing will make more sense to her.  All in time...

They sure look sweet, don't they?
And finally after school is all done, we get to have a little TV time.  Doesn't everyone strip down to their underwear and sit in the stuffed animal bin to enjoy their favorite show?


Fortunately, I was able to swim last night - though I had wanted to run as well.  David and I had everything planned out and then remembered that The Teen had a dental appointment at 4:00.  In fact, my poor husband realized this fact at 3:30 when he was about a half mile in to his run!!  No worries, he did get some solid time on the bike trainer before I left for the pool.

Just another day in paradise.

What does your life look like?  I would love to see a picture journal of your day!

    This is awesome! Love the pic of our state capitol. Of course, I love the others, too, of my grandkidlets.

Lincoln Marathon Race Report

Another beautiful Spring day in Nebraska, another year running the Lincoln National Guard Marathon and Half Marathon! David and I rode our bikes to the start of the race, as we do each year.  Since they recently moved the start line, to accommodate more runners, we need to change where we rack our bikes! The weather on the Saturday before the race was terrible!  Our 11yo daughter, Alahnnah, ran the KFRX Mayor's Run and it was miserable.  It was about 35 degrees with 20mph winds and rain.  We had discouraged the girls from participating - but when a kid tells you "Mom, we signed up for it, we need to do it" - you have to do it. Miss A giving me "the look" Thankfully, Sunday was a little better.  The temps were hovering around 40 and there was no rain.  The wind had died down a bit, but it was still chilly!  I dressed in a t-shirt and a jacket when last year I ran in a tank top! When we got to the race, we lined up waaaay in the back near the 5:15 pace

Woohoo for Week Two + *sad face*

Week Two of training for the Legend 70 went great! Since Week One  was a little weak-sauce, I aimed for perfection for week two.  I stuck to my eating, relaxing and training plans to a "T". Monday - Took a 2.5 mile walk on the treadmill while watching The Walking Dead, stretch and foam rolled.  I did 30 minutes of yoga after work and let myself have some time to relax and decompress. Tuesday - Jumped out of bed for a 45 minute run and a 20 minute strength routine.  Still was struggling a little bit with tight chestedness from last week, but we got through it. Tuesday PM - went to the pool for a 45 minute swim.  My friend who just had bariatric surgery went with me and did her pool laps, too.  I am really proud of her! Wednesday - woke up a bit tired from heavy training the day before, but put my best effort into a 45 minute bike and 15 minute run.  If you do them one right after the other it's called a "brick." Thursday - A tired 45 minute bike r

Maximum Pressure - Achieved

I'm so upset that my arms are numb.  I had a panic attack in the dairy aisle of the grocery store.  Really not sure I've been this stressed out for a while. After a non-stop cry fest from a fussy daycare baby, my tweeny-bopper rushed in the house and up to her room before I could even say hello.  The baby had finally succumbed to napping just before she arrived. She emerged from the staircase sobbing and hysterical.  She had left her gerbil in his ball all day.  He chewed his way out and was loose in her room.  Somewhere. My husband went up with a net as I tried to fix dinner.  David emerged with blood dripping all over the place to report that "Peanut" was back in his cage.  Just then, one of my clients arrived to pick up his child.  Nothing says "Love and Safety" like blood all over the place.  Pretty sure hubs should have had a stitch where that rat bit him. During all of this, our teen was texting form school to say that his trainer wouldn't
