So Much Life to Live

Okay. I haven't posted in a while. Why? Too many items on the list to bore you with the details. Suffice it to say there are 24 hours in a day and I'm awake and moving for the majority of them. I ran the Zappos Las Vegas Rock 'n' Roll Half-Marathon in December with my son. That was a memory-maker I wouldn't have missed for anything. Then the holidays were upon us and in January I began training to run a marathon in Prague if I can get rid of a nasty case of IT band syndrome. Injuries suck. I will hold tight to my dream of running 26 miles in May, even if walking the dog is a challenge right now.

Work is always demanding with its deliverables and the kids seem to have a million activities that require assistance, mostly as chauffeur. Today, I'll psych myself up to darken the doorstep of the grocery store. I'll pray that Tide is on sale as the laundry pile is as big as a mountain. I'll probably be checking email in aisle 13 and receiving texts from my daughter asking how long am I going to be away? Sound familiar. I bet. Last week we built a diorama in the kitchen for an English assignment and remnants from the glue gun are still lurking about.

Life is good. Every day is a new adventure. I send my kids off each morning with a "Love you. Did you get your lunch? Have a great day! Time is flying by. It's been years since I wiped their faces but I still put a bottle of MomSpit in their backpacks.
