You guessed it, I am still one busy gal. Really, does life ever slow down? School starts in THREE WEEKS! Just in the next couple days I am going to my sister’s musical about 2 hours away, planning, making cakes, and having a small birthday party for the twins, and going to my other sister’s to paint (an hour and a half away.) That will bring me to Wednesday night and I will once again be working I am sure. I did give notice that once school starts, I am only working on an emergency basis only. If they can’t honor that, I will have to quit as the money just doesn’t justify all it takes to make it there.
I did manage to squeeze in a run today (before work, after market/store/mom’s house.) It was week 4, run 1 of Couch to 5K and it was not my best run. This week they drop a good bit of the walking and it really makes it harder. Hah! I feel like such a dork saying it, but I’m not embarrassed as I really am pleased with my progress. The podcast is by far not my favorite, he really slows the music down to where I can not keep stride with it. My MP3 was acting up to, so I’ll give it another run before digging out the stopwatch for the third if need be.
Speaking of the market, I felt like I got a good haul today for around $10: beets, green beans, broccoli, zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes, lettuces, green peppers, and green onions. The best part was that I rode my bike up with Liz. I FINALLY have a basket on the front to put produce in. We had to rig a bag of produce to Liz’s handlebars as my basket wouldn’t hold our bounty. I like getting out with just one of the girls, it’s a rare thing to have that one on one time. Need to work on doing that some more with each one.
The twins turn three on Monday. Wow, no longer babies, or even toddlers. I’m sad in so many ways, but happy in as many more. I miss the snuggly days, but not the sleepless nights. Yes, in the last month or two we finally are getting sleep most nights. It’s been a long time coming. Potty training…meh. they get it, but don’t want to. We are out of diapers, though, so this week they have no choice and I’ll just have to really keep on top of them about it. No diapers…goodness, let’s just hope they still take naps for another school year!
I swear – it never gets easier and it never slows down. Every day there’s more and more to do. Birthdays are always exciting and bittersweet. Best wishes for your little ones.
What is up with school starting so early this year? I am not happy about it at all. You sound so busy it’s making me dizzy just reading about it. Hang in there!
