So fast

This year has gone so very fast, it is unreal. You think it goes fast with your first, but OMG it goes faster with your second. The weekend before his b-day I have the cap10k, as I have mentioned. I am trying to keep my training at an even and planned pace - with my knee I cannot just do what I feel like. I know I can complete it, I just want to do it with style :-)

I am 9 pounds away from my goal for L's b-day. I must stay focused. The cold has taken me a little of course, but as long as I get my long walks in and hopefully three more, I will be grand.

L has been rocking and rolling with the walking. He has been taking steps for awhile. But this week he has truly used it for movement more than crawling. My little boy is already getting big.

I need to be working, but I don't want to. Bug was out for two days with strep - fun - so I worked from home. That is 10 times harder. But I was productive. Now that I am back to the office I just want to get outta here.

I have been studying though at night, and that makes me happy. I am trying to regain control of my life one aspect at at time :-)

Now the weekend is here, yay. Our plans are to complete a to do list of everything we want done for L's b-day, including a guest list. With bug we did it big. This time I think we won't do it as big, but I do want to celebrate it with a party.

Valentine's day is Monday. I need to get the kids some candy and such. Sweetie and I are not exchanging gifts, though I do expect some chocolate covered strawberries to share. I just cannot believe that it has been 14 years since Sweetie proposed. It seems like yesterday yet lifetimes ago. We were such different people then. But he took the opportunity to stand in front of 200 strangers and ask me to marry him. And I said yes. Actually he never said "will you marry me", he said "will you be my senses for the rest of my life" :-)

damn it is cold

Waking to no power and 18 degrees is not the most fun. Well, it was fun. We weren't stressed and L had the best time crawling in the dark while Bug took charge of the flashlight. But it was cold.

Tonight is going to be fun as we get to go to a coffee shop that is displaying a friend's photography. It is going to be awesome. If only I survive the cold, lol.

This past weekend Sweetie ran his official 2nd half marathon. He is doing so awesome. His marathon is this month and I cannot wait to cheer him on.

I am doing good with my WW, down 36.8 now, only 44.4 remains. This week I started doing Jillian Michael's 30 day Shred. Two days in and I feel good, sore but good.

I am back on the studying bandwagon and hope to test in June.

OK that is all I have for little updates. Stay warm, peeps.
