Random Sh!t

1.  My oldest (Sophie) starts 1st grade tomorrow morning.  While the last 2 weeks have seemed to stretch out forever, this weekend has flown by and I am torn between being excited that she will be in school all day and sad that she will be in school all day.

2.  Sam starts with Speech School tomorrow.  He is all ready to get going with his same teacher from last year, Ms. Willow.

3.  Both Sam and Little Dude will be starting Mother's Day Out on Thursday.  I am estatic over this.  Why?  Because for the first time in two years, I will have dedicated time for me- squeeeee!!!!!  Plus, do any of you remember how HARD life can be with a toddler?  I love him to pieces and he makes my heart melt, BUT, OMFG, he is quite the handful right now.

4.  The kids have been getting creative with their Summertime play.

5.  My right hip joint is achey and sore.  Not from running, but from having to lift Little Dude.  He's 28+ lbs of love and solidly-packed.  I think he is built like a linebacker.

6.  Only 11 more days before me and the hubby jet-set to Columbus, Ohio for my friend's wedding, without the kids.  Can you hear me screaming with delight from where you are?  The last time we went anywhere alone was in February 2008 and I was 10 weeks pregnant with Little Dude.....way too long ago!  I am in the wedding and get to wear a pretty candy apple red bridesmaid dress with these pretty shoes. It should be interesting to watch me walk down the aisle in these shoes as well as dance at the reception (Anthony and I totally like to cut it up on the dance floor at weddings!).  My normal foot attire are my good ole running shoes.

7.  I'm registered to attend Fitbloggin' next year.  It's being held in Baltimore in May.  Are you going? 

8.  I'm also officially registered for the San Antonio Rock n Roll 1/2 Marathon in November.  My longest training run so far was this past weekend, 3.5 miles.

9.  In other travel-related news, in the next year, our family will be going to Kansas to visit the Reyes Family, going to Tucson Arizona for my sister's wedding, AND according to my delightful husband, going to Mexico for a family vacation (see below for previous happy moments in Mexico).  We have been busy busy busy and in planning mode over the past week.

10.  Last but not least, I have finally started scrapbooking again.  I am so behind that it's not even funny.  Even though I still have many projects that aren't done yet, I went ahead and started a new album, one that is close to my heart at the current time.  It's all about my running journey.  Here are a few pages that I have done.

How's that for random?!  Do you have any "random" that you would like to share with me?  Please do and if you got nothing, then at least give me a shout out and let me know you are there reading/lurking/wishing you were me- HA!!!
