Yay!

Proud of my baby girl and her bff!  They both made their school's 7th grade softball team!  Here they are celebrating (and being silly) at DQ after their last day of tryouts this afternoon! :)

Busy day today.

My kids were off school for President's day, though my oldest had a 4 hour practice instead.  After dropping her off, my other 2 kiddos and I went to the gym, grabbed lunch, and ran a couple errands.  I walked Bella then took Molly to the vet because she somehow got a scratch on her belly that she kept licking and it got infected.  Then it was back to pick up my oldest and go to the grocery store.  I got home and made dinner, ate, cleaned up the kitchen, did some laundry, got a shower, and just finished up reading with my son who couldn't stop coughing the entire time. :(

Now I am sitting here thinking about how the sore throat I woke up with seems to have gotten worse throughout the day.  Uggh, I really hope this junk doesn't get worse and passes by quickly because I have to work the next 3 days!

That time again!

I just realized today that I'm only about 3 months away from the Race for the Cure.  I guess that means I need to start adding running back into my workouts.  I kind of got away from it and haven't done much running since probably last fall sometime.  So, I hit the treadmill today at the gym.  I walked about .25 mi then decided to attempt to jog .50 mi at 5 mph.  Well, I got to .50 and decided I'd keep going and try for .75 mi.  In the end, I ended up making it an entire mile before I gave up.  I probably could have pushed myself to go longer, but ehh, maybe next time. ;)  At the end of my workout, I also managed to run a couple of laps around the mini track.  Hoping to do well come race time.

On a side note, 6:1 protein bars = yuck!  I had the cookies and cream one for lunch today after my workout.  Not good.  :(

Another Teenager!

Yep, my baby girl is 13 today!  That means two teenagers (girl teenagers, eek!) in one house. The daily fighting over their shared bathroom has already begun.  Sigh. :-/

Today, she and I are going to go spend some time at the mall shopping, then later it will be dinner at the restaurant of her choice (which, I think, will be The Cheesecake Factory), then Sky Zone for her birthday party!  Should be a busy, but fun, day with my girly! :)
