Blah, blah, blah....

Nope, have not updated my blog since August. Who has time?!

It's not like my kids are not cute, or they don't do amusing things, or funny things never happen in our house....I just never seem to find the time to get on here and notate it.

I did get my kids a cell phone today...I know, what am I thinking????? Not for Travis, lol, just for the older 2. There have been times when I said to myself "I wish he had a cell phone..." but since the kids are with me most of the time, it just didn't make much sense. But we needed to up our minutes (thanks DSLs) and adding a line was only a few bucks so why not?! I like going to the Verizon store anyway and looking at all of the toys.

We are in the midst of cross country for Trey and soccer for Travis. Ryan is only swimming and that is because I make him, so that is one less athlete in the family for now. I am trying to take up running again (yeah, like I ever really started!). I started the Couch to 5k program this summer http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml but dropped off after summer camp was over, since the day care hours at the gym become limited once school starts. All of my day care hours are booked by swim lessons and water aerobics. I may just have to start squeezing in some more gym time for my own fun, uh, I mean my own run, or I could run at the YMCA. I think their day care hours are longer. I have been working there almost 2 months now but it's only one day a week so I am not completely familiar with their schedule.

Seriously, I'd like to run a 5k some day...but I there are no TVs on the open road, lol!!! I did 1.5 miles yesterday, in about 18 minutes, running and walking (60/120s my dh calls it). It wasn't too bad but then I taught water aerobics that evening and since I was subbing felt compelled to give a REALLY good class...and I was paying for it this morning! Ow, Ow, Ow!!!

So, now I am off to read other blogs. My friends have WAY cuter kids than I and they have MUCH more fun than we do! ROFL!!!
