I started running in May of 2006 while losing 85 lbs after my youngest was born.  I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband.  My oldest is in college and my baby is in pre-school. (Six kids in 5 schools ;)

I am late for work and have to go.  I will write more tonight ;)

***I had Corrine's kids over night and needed to take them back home, so I figured that I'd go see my dad.  So when I got to my parents home my mom needed to run some errands.  I get to spend some time with my dad :)  I made him lunch and baked him a pie ;)  Actually I put a Marie Calendars Very Berry in the oven.  Anyway, I was an hour late for my run with Kim.  We had a beautiful run.  I had to kick a car for nearly hitting us.  I decided that I should not kick cars anymore if I don't want to break my foot or as David puts it, "get shot."  I am going to have to work on my temper :(    I liked my run today.  I was a tad bit late for work because of my run. 

My dad is doing well.  My mom is doing alright but is a bit fearful.  My grandmother died a few weeks after she came home from the hospital.  I think she will be better in a few weeks when she continues to see how well he is getting everyday.

Glad to hear your Dad is on the mend. You've done some great running in spite of having a stressful week. Keep it up!

You've been busy! I'm glad your dad is recuperating well. Good job in getting a nice run in. Sorry about another rude driver. Stay safe!

Yeah! Sounds like you dad is recovering nicely. Way to keep running through all the busyness and stress! I hope you are holding up as well!

I am holding up ok. I am sure in the next few days I will have a nice cry to let off some steam. On Monday, David asked how I was doing and I said, "OK, but plan on me probably crying a lot on either Wednesday or Thursday." I think I may make it until Sunday at this point. Too much to do to take a mental health day yet ;) I am at the point where I am cutting EVERYTHING out that is non-essential. My cousins wedding my even get cut this afternoon if it wont fit in nicely to the day. She wants all of the kids to come, but there is no way that I am taking my kids by myself to a wedding. Now that they are throwing up, I am not sure that I want to leave them with a sitter either. Aren't you glad you popped by my blog today ;)

Sounds like it is time to lay around the house and rest as much as possible!

I just took a nap with my boys and ate a banana. The day has no choice but to buck up and be great ;) I wish I had another washer and dryer.... hmmmmmm
