Can't Wait for the Holiday's ---

TO BE DONE!!!

Lets face it, it's been a long year for all of us but me in particular, challenging may be the best description. From the beginning of the year till now I've struggled with figuring out a plan. In hindsight I think I put to much stress on myself thus making everything I did either ''just under the wire'' or behind.
Something else I figured out was if I'm discombobulated at home, I'm that way every where else. So with the living room getting painted and a kitchen remodel going on it sent me in quite a tailspin. PLUS the fact that the MR started the back splash project (thank goodness he didn't finish) and we come really close to having the FiRsT  argument ever. Ya'see he's not a plan ahead and get it done person, he starts where the middle is and wings it. That's ok for some things but not for something that I'm going to be looking at for the next 20+ years. Info background==the back splash is silver panels that have a pattern on them, I was going to make a template with copy paper and lay them out to start the project. The MR starts near the beginning and it went downhill from there....I'll finish this story later.
Thanksgiving has come and gone with it being held at the Mr & I's house for the first time. Though our house is smaller (a Lot) it was still ok. Two of my girls and their families were not able to come so it wasn't as crowded cramped. Christmas was a little different only one daughter and her family wasn't able to come due to my poor little grandson had the flu--his entire Christmas break from school. It was fun for everyone and these silly kids of mine again didn't follow the instructions.....MOM (aka me) didn't want them spending $$ on us! Did they listen..that would be a No!! Silly Brats, All of Them, LOL!!


What's a Mom to Do, Still Love them more than Life,

Catch-up post #2

My baby girl before the race

     Heart & Sole 5K in a neighboring town of Lexington. After bathroom breaks and waiting for the race to start like all runners do we were all milling around and everyone talks to everyone else, They are like one Huge Happy Family! Whether they know you or not they talk and support each other. My young'un is no different. 

     Next thing I know we are in a conversation with this man (Hi Louis) that seems to have a little bit of nervous energy. He's talking with another man about times, speed, how cold it is (it's February by the way) and how all he want to do is just finish. And then it begins, he and Bobbie are discussing running and training, getting advice and whatever else. Then we are exchanging email and face book info. Whew!  



Bobbie and Louis Cornelius before the race he's so funny.

And she's off!

Man'o'Man it was cold!!
And where am I?
Oh yeah I'm out there as well!
Ear muffs, scarf, gloves, 2 layers on the bottom, 3 layers on top and Camera Ready!!



Missed Louis at the start but here he is coming through strong!!

I'm cold just looking at her!

 

     So there it is race #2 and as always it was a lot of fun!! Louis also friended 'MOI' as well on face book and takes the time to comment on some of the photos that I happen to post.

     One of my other 'runner kids' changed job locations near where Louis lives I don't know that they have actually had time to connect but I'm sure their paths will cross, they're runners after all, one Huge Happy Family!!

Whats that you say?? Where have I been???

Long time No Blog!! I have been absent for some time now with no real good excuse! Its been awhile since my last blog (July something?) so I will recap as much as possible with bullets--

• July was filled with 4 weekends of my runner girls 5K races (check out all the recaps "bobbie087.blogspot.com), started the walk program at work though I really had not planned on it a group of women begged me to do it with them..well hell OK ladies..so now I'm a "Donnelley Diva" yea baby!!!!
• August "5K" races = 2, my Uncle Clyde past away which has had me completely devastated...So much family drama (the B#*@&%S) during this time, a feeder class which had me working (2wks) of 12 hr shifts
• September "5K' races = 4 one I walked in with the G'daughters Kaylan sprain her ankle at 1.5 mile, another feeder class again 2wks of 12 hrs, the "Donnelley Divas" came in second place of 28 teams that participated, the anniversary of my mothers death, still not sure if I have come to terms with it all...
• And Now It's OCTOBER!! OMG ! This is only the middle of the month so I will post more later - I gotta tell you 'bout the half marathon the girls ran in Louisville!!

Till then remember,,

I'm the MOM
