Sorry Im so absent. I tend to have issues at the start of each school year finding balance. Actually, this year I am light years ahead of the last few years, but I still don’t have much time for blogging.

I’ve been running this week. It’s been a hard week but I’m up to 3 miles and even ran more then 3 miles today. But it was hard. I really didn’t think I was going to make it this morning but amazingly, the last mile didn’t suck as much as the first two. Which is a good lesson in both life and running:

Just because it sucks now doesn’t mean it’s going to continue to suck in the same way.

I made these cute little cards to give to the teachers to welcome them back. They were warm and welcoming and the message was about how valued they are and how grateful we are. We included a $2 bill to buy them a cup of coffee. Anyway… some teacher thought they were so cute she asked me to make cards for her program today. And I don’t like them. I don’t like the guidelines she gave me to build the cards. And blech. So that was a few hours.

I went to Costco. Did a big Costco run. I wanted to buy the Microfiber bed topper with the foam matteress topper thing. Does anyone have one of those? I didn’t have room in my cart was the only reason I didn’t buy it. I think Im going to ask my huband for that for my birthday. If anyone has one… I’d love to hear about it.

Today was a half day.

My children are incredibly over tired. Noah is having really a hard time with “impulse control”. And he gets physical when he can’t control himself. Dinara is fighting some sniffles. And Emma has been crying all day over the smallest things. She even said to me “I know Im over tired”. Me too honey, me too.

Made a delish pot roast in the crock pot for dinner. I’m trying to eat more red meat but I’m not sure it’s really doing anything.

Tomorrow is my doctor appointment. Hopefully, I’ll have some answers by this time next week.

I must go fold laundry. Then Im going to lounge in front of the TV.
