Personal:

I was a single mom.  Two times over.  We all survived, despite the fact that I make atrocious decisions.  Then, I met a man I didn't deserve.  And he loves me so much.  And I love him. We lived in sin and bought a house for two years then hired a judge and officially got married(to our great delight and also the delight of our mothers), then a month later he was diagnosed with cancer.  Well we survived all that and he's 100% fine now.  But, we're really out of shape and really busy with kids and jobs and running just isn't my priority and there's so many other layers to all of it, but I'm running anyway.  This is my failure blog now.  Just to log that one run a week if I snag it.  
Somehow that matters and I want that run recorded.

7:45 AP.  Felt pretty tight in the hips after yesterday's treadmill speedwork but loosened up after a while and ran a few faster ones at the end.   My poor baby stuck a metal key in an electrical outlet to unlock it.  It didn't go well.  It was quite a shock, and she had a black star in her palm, bu the burn doc said she would heal up fine.  Scared me.  It shorted the lights out and melted the key into the outlet--David had to yank it out.

VERY SCARY!! So glad she is okay. I forgot about my paranoid ( I guess not so) days of putting those plastic protectors in the sockets. I would have freaked out greatly.

Ah ! But I'm sure she has learned her lesson. Luckily nothing to regret....

Vanessa has had a bad run of luck the last few days! Our little was was just trying to play with a socket the other day...fortunately she didn't have anything metal at the time.

Oh my!! That's scary! It's easy to forget that once they are past the toddler stage, they still do irrational things out of curiosity!

I have a hard time remembering that Eli (he's almost exactly Vanessa's age) still needs a lot of supervision. The other day he cut his finger sticking it into an upstairs fan (that he had plugged in himself, which freaks me out) while I was downstairs. I just sometimes forget that he's still just a giant toddler...

That burn looked terrible. How is she feeling now?
