4 Miles, 7 Inches, 2 Tests

Did not run on Saturday, but did go out and jog 4 miles on Sunday. It was actually alternating jogging and walking and that's the longest I've ever done. I went two miles down the road, so I had to come two miles back. lol It's a hillier route than I am used to also. The weather was about 41 and sunny when I left, though it was overcast by the time I returned.

I'm feeling it today! My legs are SORE! No workout today (Monday is usually a rest day.) but I will do Tae-bo Tuesday, unless I actually go sledding myself, which I doubt. I'm more of a stand-and-watch kind of mom.

Did my nails bright PINK the other day - 2 coats with a clear top coat and it lasted 3 days without a chip. They need to be redone, and I am debating whether or not to put in the effort. I like how they look when they are painted, but I don't like constantly thinking about my fingernails.

My grey needs to be touched up and I need a haircut. Maybe I can get myself all pulled together before the weekend!

We have a lot of snow. Seven inches maybe? Bob left for work this morning and had to backtrack since someone hit a pole and there was no way through. He ended up getting there late and thus working an hour late. But they asked him to come in tomorrow for 5 extra hours!

Reading a Chris Bohjalian book, but not feeling like I want to keep reading.

Took two "tests" in my training today. One I did well on, the other not so much. Hopefully I can clarify some of the concepts during the live web meetings we will have this week.

Thoughts for Thursday - not so therapeutic

Thinking all those late nights have finally caught up with me - headache! And Bob drank more than his share of the coffee today, so I've made another half a pot all for ME!

Gave James a hair cut because he was starting to resemble a Q-tip.

Was thinking of going to the children's museum because it's Dollar Day. However, the girls room is not clean, aforementioned headache precludes me wanting to drive an hour, plus only James is done with his lessons for the week.

Need to run to the grocery store, though, because our last roll of TP is on the roller! While I am there, need to get some stuff for co-op lunch and to make Valentine treats.

Speaking of Valentine treats, have you tried the nasty new candy hearts from Necco? Blech! Only the green ones are worth eating. The rest tasted like perfume. Ew.

Renewed all my library movies so I don't have to return them, especially the ones that have not been watched.

Skype is pretty cool - do you have it?

Vote for a Family Photo and Why is David's Hair Sticking Up?

We had a friend take a family snapshot of us at church today - we were all presentable and we need a photo for the homeschool group yearbook. So here are the three shots. However, I can't pick the one I like best. I've added a poll to my page. (Look to the right!)

Will you help me out by voting for your favorite?

(And thanks, Mark, for taking the photos!)

Oh, by the way, I took David to get his hair cut Saturday afternoon. I didn't want to attempt it myself, although I usually do all the kids' haircuts. I figured once the stylist cut it, I could maintain it for a while though. He chose the style from a book at the salon and it met Bob's criteria which were 1 - cut around the ears, and 2 - short in back. David lobbied hard for dying it black, which I vetoed. I was surprised he chose this style so easily and he has been happy with it so far. No hat jammed on the head! lol He is using hair spiking glue to get it to stand up. I think he used a bit much today, but he'll get the hang of it.
