A day in the life...

Woke up, peed. J wakes up & takes the d.o.g. outside. I get up & enjoy the fact that it's already 7:36 & the twins slept at their dad's house so I don't have to wake them or dress them. They walk in the house 4 minutes later & I give them each a donut. (bad mom, I know, but J bought them as a surprise) They eat, potty, we re-do their hair & I look up & it's almost 8. I run downstairs, step in dog poop with my bare foot (thanks Sybil) & call out for help. J runs downstairs to help me get some of it off of the bottom of my foot so that I can walk upstairs to clean the rest in the bathtub. Just as I finish up I see it's after 8 & we gotta go! The girls & I run to the bus stop & the bus is pulling up to the stop. They get on the bus & I contemplate blowing off my morning at the school. I get home & make some toast in the oven which burns while I'm out back coaxing Sybil to come back inside after her great escape to the neighbor's yard. I toss that toast out & start over as I open my laptop & email Mrs. Teacher & tell her I'm feeling "under the weather".

I sit down, eat my toast, drink my OJ & enjoy my peace & quiet. Now, I think I'm going to nap.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Busy bee stops to blog.

Seriously. Where does the time go?

Sybil is doing well. She's our new Aussie puppy & we're so glad we've added her to our crazy family. She runs with me every morning & sleeps in my bed at night. She has fleas & worms... both of which we are trying to remedy.

The kids are great. Thing 2 won an award at school & she will have a huge cheering section on Thursday as J, ex, me & my cousin visiting from Texas will be attending her assembly. I'm so proud of her. Thing 1 has a horrible attitude problem lately & some days I want to slap her, but I have refrained. Lavagirl is has been a bit emotional, but she is doing great in school & I'm very proud of her achievements this year so far! The boy is turning 12 in a few weeks & we're having a boy/girl party at the house. Lord, help me!

I am still busy at the school these days. Last week I went on a field trip with the Boy to Hemlock Overlook Park. I climbed 60 feet up in the air, walked a wire & then ziplined to my death. I mean, what I thought was going to be my death... I really didn't die, obviously. I hate heights, but dammit I was the cool mom on that trip! Snort.

I ran my first 5K on Saturday. Not only did I finish in 31:45, but I ran the entire thing & it was mostly uphill. Ouch. GO ME! GO ME! GO ME!

I've been working out still. I run with Sybil in the mornings & then hit the gym, so it's now double work outs. I have lost 5-6 lbs & am at a weight I've not been since high school. Hells yeah!

And aside from just now finding time to update my iPod & blog, I am going to have a busy few days with my cousin visiting, kids school & getting shit done around this house. Oh & partying with my cousin.

Until next time.
