Sunday
Various thoughts starting w/ the weekend.
Loved the weather today, but church was way too hot! I taught today and by the end of my lesson my sweat was blessing ALL parts of my body! Not limited to the pitts!
This evening I met Shirley and we took a little walk. Q,E and O came and rode scooters/bike. It was good to get out and to help support her. She needs more buddies! I'm glad to be there for her.
I made yum stir-fry tonight. I haven't been cooking as much and we haven't been eating as a family lately. Since M and I are on different schedules we don't eat together. I have been feeding the kids at the kitchen table so I don't even sit w/ them. Miss being together around the table, must get back to that even if we aren't all here. It was nice.
Ate fabulous watermelon today and yesterday. Love when I pick good melon!
Yesterday watched C kids, they play so well together. Worked on my lesson, the actual putting together all of my studies.
I took my bike out for my inaugural ride. Matt got it for me for Mother's Day! SUCH A GREAT GIFT!!! I've been wanting one for so long! It is a road bike. Prior to taking it out I had to go get my tube replaced, but it was smooth sailing after that. I rode 25 miles, something like that. It was wonderful! I could really get into cycling. It all felt new, very different from a mountain bike, and really, I've not ridden a bike for a long time! Surprised I remembered how!
I have yet another injury that is over a week old now and I've been super anxious about working out. Cycling feels easier than running, but it's something! My R lower leg has been having issues in the front. It is still swollen. I went to an ortho to get an xray this past week. Nothing broken. Surely it's a small fracture! Muscle on the front of my leg... wouldn't be swollen. It's NOT a shin splint. People keep nodding when I tell them I hurt my leg... awe, shin splints? What? I don't get those! BUT, I do know what they feel like and this isn't it! It hurts to walk, it feels like it's in my bone. I hate being prisoner to some ailment. SO, this bike has come just in time! I may not give up on the marathon after all, IF I can get back to running soon.
We went to G's baseball game Saturday morning. He did great! It's been fun to go as a family to support him.
Headed out to watch Cort compete her solo. She did SO well! She is strong. So glad to be there, I've missed her other two comps.
O is drawing a ton right now, loves drawing people. It holds his attention and it is so fun to see his creativity.
E has started drawing letters. He can't do very many, but that is all him, I've not encouraged him at all. We need to get back to potty training. We started then, I needed to back off, he's not so excited yet! I'd love to have him done prior to our UT trip, we'll see!
I took E to the store w/ me on Friday and he kept climbing on the shopping cart, then saying, thanks for the ride mom!
Several times this weekend I have found myself tearing up. I love this age, I love these two right now, I don't want them to grow up, I don't want this to be over! It's going too fast. I adore my children, they are the most precious thing to me.
