Supermommy in Training

these were rollerblading miles. i went w/ my sister and it was nice to fly and talk. i feel like a pretty experienced rollerblader because i did it for years, but i noticed tonight (as i wobbled and hopped and bladed past the turns going too fast) that even at my most familiar sports, i am awkward. 8) it's just part of me. my mom should have gotten me another ballet teacher when the one i had at age 4 quit to have her baby! hehe i totally could have used the grace. (for what it's worth, she put me in a dozen other kinds of lessons, too. hummm... i wonder why...)

I ran w/ Paige & Lybi around Lybi's neighborhood. There was a nice breeze. As I was musing inwardly about how lucky we were to have the wind, Lybi mentioned how much nicer early mornings are. VERY tempting to think of TWENTY DEGREES cooler runnings... Since having two babies in a row and kicking the second one out into her own room (nicely) finally, I am AT LAST getting some much-needed sleep at night, and feeling semi-conscious at 5:30am. When I was in college, I used to walk in the early mornings and watch the sun rise w/ my best friend (after I knocked on her window to wake her up). It was a fun way to start the day. I could get used to it, again, possibly... Let's see, as far as the running tonight went, the company was fun, but I felt a little sluggish. I think that is mostly because I didn't pay attention to how much I was eating at a plentiful dinner. (Oops) Or it could have had something to do w/ staying up an hour and a half too late last night...>> (

I ran w/ Lybi & Paige for 2 full miles. They were full for me. I was pooped from my huge laundry undertaking earlier that evening (3 hrs, 21 loads, washed, dried, and folded by 1 crazy, procrastinating superMommy in a laundramat8).

I promised Lybi & Paige that our runs would be cooler in 10 days in time for my birthday, as it always is nice at night here by then. ...I'm a little nervous this time, though, that it will cool down in time. We went off the beaten path, around a nearby neighborhood, and kept an eye out for who might belong to the bike by the sidewalk. :O Paige noticed the bike, and Lybi plotted a well-lit path. It was fun, even though I did feel like a big whiner because I talked about how wiped out I was.
