It's been a long time!

So much has happened in the last month and a half that I feel like such a slacker for not posting it all.

The week before school started the girls went karaoke-ing, and let me tell you I just love it.  My friends are awesome.  It's so nice to be able to get some girl time in with the ladies!!  And no matter how late we stay (we usually close Appleby's) I feel better the next day. 

August came and school started up again, and yes that did make for one happy me.  As much as I love my kids, I am always happy to see them have something more to do than just watch TV and play all day long.  I know I could come up with activities, but since I'm still so tired the energy drain just knocks me out for the week.

Then for my sister Charity's birthday/Labor Day we did the traditional Bonneville Chevy Classic Fun Run at Lagoon!!  My dad always says he's not sure he wants to do it this year, but none of us will let him.  We all have our different reasons, but my biggest reason is my brother Bryce.  It's the one party we have all year that he wouldn't miss.  No matter what he had going on, he was there.  I love and miss him very much.

Oh, yeah then came this:  M's broken arm!  I know, right?  He broke the ulna and dislocated the radius a couple inches from the elbow of his right arm.  Yep that's right, my right-handed kindergartener is now having to  learn to write with his left hand first.  My guess is that either he'll come away in six weeks being left-handed, or he'll write backwards with his right hand.  We're waiting on word to see if it's healing properly.  Oi!

Then last weekend I did the Dirty Dash.  It's that glorious 10K run through an obstacle course coated with mud!  It was my first time, and I absolutely loved it!  I can't wait until next year to do it again.  The only downside was that I tweaked my knee, and can't run at the moment.  But every day it's feeling better and I'm hoping by next week I'll be back running every day.

I've learned to take one day at  a time, because you don't know what will be coming at you next.  Now I'll try putting that lesson into practice.
