Fast Running Mommy

Had an interesting weekend. Mostly a lot of fun. I took all six to a baptism because Sasha had a race to go to. My friends at the baptism treated me and my family like royalty and helped in every little way they could. Good idea to make friends with some of the most nurturing and selfless creatures on the earth...they make sweet friends.

Sasha got major points when he tried his darndest to get home early so he could try and make it to a family function later that day. Turns out that our car (the natural gas van that we can't bring gas to...) ran out of gas and we had to get a tow....fun stuff..I let Sasha deal with that one.

I had to go up to Salt Lake myself right after the baptism and got treated like royalty by my family up there. While I nursed the baby my mom and my older sister served the dinner they had prepared to all of my kiddos. Wow!! What a break for me. All in all it was a good day.

Felt tired today but it was worth the fun run with Luz. She is such an interesting person to talk to...now onto Russian Days with my friend. We get together once a week and have an immersion day of Russian for the kids. It's crazy but lots of fun. 

ya dumayoo schto ya napishoo norusski. Did anyone understand that besides Sasha?

Tired again today. I'm thinking back on my pregnancy and wondering when my thryoid went out. I remember trying to run one day and feeling so exhausted...and after that it was down hill. I think maybe it was around last March and that all this time I've been out and haven't really noticed. I'm hanging in there and things are really going pretty good since I feel like my relationship with Sasha is doing well...that really helps everything go better. We are going on a date on Friday and he's trying to cop out and call Costco our date. I told him I would consider that a date if he bought me a new shirt there.

Actually I want to go to a sports event at BYU...gonna get online and see what's going on this weekend. That is something fun I can look forward too. 

My two little boys just walked by with purple and yellow rabbit ears on from the dress up box eating carrots and singing their own made up bunny rabbit song. CUTE!! My 8 year old took 40 minutes to eat one bowl of soup so she is cleaning up the kitchen as punishment. Harsh? I go overboard sometimes....

I'm looking forward to planting my garden this week. My friend found this amazing gardening club that sells 4,000 varieties of tomato seeds and other crazy things like spiral beets (white and maroon...she's going to give me some and I can't wait to harvest those babies. All of these seeds are heirloom seeds, not genetically messed up spiral beets for me. :)

My  left leg was bugging a bit today but felt okay after I warmed up. I didn't get to go buy my seeds yesterday...I waited for an hour for Sasha to come home. He decided to go shopping and came home with lots of interesting things including a box of oranges and four bunches of radishes (guess what we are having in all of our salads?) I've found if I dice them up pretty small my kids will eat them without saying they are bitter or hot. I need to make a recipe entry today because I tried some fun new stuff yesterday...

felt pretty good today..typing one handed so gotta keep it short

don't know the distance..ran for about 15 minutes in between a homeschool conference I went to today. :)
