Cathy ~ You're such a busy lady!! I'm sure you're an awesome teacher. My good friend that I run with, Erin, is a HS math teacher. She is an early bird so she gets her workouts in early (which is why we run at 4:45AM!). I really admire teachers. My Grandma taught 2nd grade for many years, and my brother is a 5th grade teacher. My Mom has a teaching degree but she never did anything but substitute teach since she was a SAHM. I guess I'm the oddball w/ no teaching degree!! }(
Wendy & Marcia ~ Sorry about the losses of your Dads. I'm sure that is a hard time.
Wendy ~ Glad no DOMS! I felt the same way, I felt the burn while doing it for sure!! Yes, I make fudge but it's the easiest recipe ever! (microwave fudge, but it's soooo good) Have fun w/ PUB!
Marcia ~ It's harder for me to get things done if I don't get them done early also. At least cardio-wise. I can fit in weights later, but I just don't enjoy doing cardio in the afternoon & having to take another shower!! ;-)
SunnyD ~ I guess your kids must be feeling better since you're heading back to work? Have a good day!
Laurie ~ How scary for your dd!! I'm glad that she's ok!! BTW, I got your card y'day- thank you!!! You're so sweet! And I love your last name! ;-)
Laura ~ Any pics of the new hair? I don't think I've seen a pic of you, have you posted any? Have fun teaching your class!
Carole ~ Those kettle chips look pretty yummy!! I used to eat half a bag of chips & dip at one sitting. I just totally gave chips up, I don't eat any at all. I probably haven't had a chip in 2 yrs. At first I couldn't control myself, and now I just don't want them. I do enjoy soy crisps when I get that chip craving, yummy! And I just wanted to say that I read your post about you saying I'm a great Mommy & it made me get all teary!! You're too sweet! I'm so not a perfect Mom but I'm thankful every day that I can be a SAHM & be with my kids through everything (even the sickies!).
Linda ~ Too cute about your grand dd!! I'm sure they were so cute dancing around! BTW, did I mention that I got your card also?? Thank you! So which TJ's do you recommend??
Shelly ~ Love the kitty pic!! Too funny about the need to deblobify! I'm sure you don't have to worry about that, I've seen your pics!!
Susan ~ Sorry about the back. Yes, injuries are frustrating. I don't know if I'm the perfect role model, but I'm trying to ease back into it. I've dealt w/ 2 bad injuries now (bad tendonitis in my foot in Jan, and now the IT band) that have taken me well over 6 weeks to heal. Plus a little bit of achilles & PF. Let me tell ya that I'll never take for granted running a pain-free run again!! I'm sure it will be a busy week getting ready for your trip! Taking a break isn't always a bad thing. My friend Melissa (that I run with) just had an epidural shot in her back for her back pain on Tues. She's been dealing w/ it since the marathon.
LD ~ Hope you're feeling better today!
Elaine ~ How are you doing today? So have you signed up for another marathon yet?? }( My friend Erin is already planning her next, I told her that I'm sticking to the HM's!! Too funny about your gall bladder attack story, although I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time!! I laugh when I tell the story about Kiersten now at least!
Judy ~ Hope your Precor gets delivered quick!! Enjoy the time having your kids home!
Christine ~ Hope you're having fun w/out us!
Barb ~ I got your picture, you have a lovely family!! Post an update when you can!
OK, I know I'm forgetting people but I'm out of time! DD's are up & I'm sure they'll want to eat breakfast soon, at least I hope so. Poor things haven't eaten much since they've been sick. Kiersten's skinny enough, she doesn't need to lose any weight!! (I think even her underwear are loose on her now!
)
