Well..it looks like I may have a new running partner. Felicia is in my ward and lives around the corner. She has 3 kids and just had a baby 5 months ago so we have similar situations..I just happen to have 3 more kids. But the older ones don't count right...because they are helpful mostly. :) I've talked her into going out into the frozen tundra of Provo at 6:30 every day for me..we'll see if she lasts. They didn't plow the trail yesterday...stinkers..so we ran on the roads. Got a little bit of uphill in and averaged 12:30 ish pace which was fast on those roads. I am so stinky today because I skipped my shower yesterday...laundry day...no clothes to change into..and I finally felt like I had the energy to get my house back into the order that I like it. Slowly...slowly...slowly I will regain the territory I lost these last few difficult months. We organized the playroom and cleaned every nook and cranny in the kids rooms. Santa Claus can come to our house now. I told the kids he probably wouldn't be interested in bringing new toys to a house with so many toys on the floor...they all pitched in. Mostly I'm worried about what g-ma bought....times 6 is starting to look like a lot of new stuff. ...but I'm excited for them too....hope you have a lovely next two days getting ready. I love Christmas!! |
