5K anyone......

I ran another 5K last Saturday. My friend Sally was having one for her school and since she came and ran the 5K for my boys school I decided I had better participate in her schools too! Now keep in mind I was planning a big Enrichment night for earlier that week and it took up all my time and I was super stressed about it for a couple of weeks and I had not worked out at all......nada.....
I ran the 5k, pushed Louie in the stroller and thought I might die....I take that back I was hoping I would die....ok so maybe just hoping I would pass out so I wouldn't have to run anymore. I ended up running it in 34 minutes. Pretty good for not working out for 3 weeks! When I was in my prime triathlon training I was doing a 33 minute 5K so I was pretty proud of myself.....until Sunday morning.....EVERYTHING in my body hurt, head, ribs, chest, legs, arms, nose, hair, EVERYTHING!! I willed myself to church but every time I moved it just hurt and we had stayed up late trying to catch up on Heros so I was also super tired. I ended up bailing on Relief Society and going home to bed.
It's pretty scary how quickly you can get out of shape....pretty lame....I am feeling better today thank you. I decided I'd better start training again, there is one more triathlon in November......
Noah and Isaac celebrated their birthdays this month! Noah is 9, and Isaac is 6!
Happy Birthday boys!

Nana came to celebrate their birthdays with us!

Nostalgic....

I am in charge of an Enrichment Night and we are looking back through the decades starting with the forties. I got my yearbooks out and have been listening to 90's music! It is all coming back to me now.....
Those were the days huh, when we were young and thin! :) I would not go back for a million dollars but I wouldn't mind having my butt, thighs and tummy back!
I will update you after tomorrow and let you know how the night went!

Sundays....

Remember how I told you in an earlier venting session how much I love Sundays?
Here are some glimpses of my day:
I sat out in the foyer during Sacrament Meeting with Louie, Noah and Isaac....why all three you ask?
Beats me....
Our home teachers come over after church. Luke is running all over the living room. Isaac is laying on the couch putting his feet in my face. The home teachers are trying to read a story from the Friend...Luke is talking loudly, and every attempt to quiet him only leads to more noise and him running around like a crazy man. Isaac is still putting his feet in my face to I move him off the sofa, Noah comes to sit by me. Isaac comes over and wants to sit by me too. All this while the Home Teacher is trying to read a story. Then Noah kicks Isaac, who then starts to cry and hits Noah. Then they all some how end up on the floor and Isaac kicks Noah in the face and now they are both crying while Luke is running around like a crazy person......Our Home Teachers head directly for the front door wondering why they were assigned the Millers out of all the people in the ward.....
We then head to the kitchen for dinner. Here is how dinner plays out.....
Mom: Eat your dinner Luke.
Luke: No, it's gross....
He proceeds to throw his sandwich and ends up in time out. He then tears apart his room, resulting in more time out. By the time he gets out of time out we are done eating and we are having dessert. All of us except Isaac, who is still staring at his sandwich, he thinks it is gross too.
I am eating some ice cream and Luke sees the ice cream and wants some.
Mom: You need to eat your dinner before you have some ice cream.
Luke (crying): No! It's gross....
Mom: You can't have any ice cream until you eat your dinner.
Luke (screaming): I want ice cream.
He proceeds to beat the crap out of his sandwich on his plate.
Isaac is sitting at the table staring at his sandwich. He decides to eat a little.
Isaac (screaming): I keep coughing when I eat my sandwich.....cough cough
Luke (screaming): I want ice cream....
Mom laughing while looking at Jason......what else can we do.....
Isaac (crying): I keep coughing, I can't eat my dinner.
Mom and Dad now in the living room waiting for the boys to finish to watch Funniest Home Videos.
Isaac wondering in holding his sandwich (screaming): Look at my sandwich I can't eat it....
Mom looking....not seeing anything....
Luke (screaming): I want ice cream......
We finally get everyone fed and Isaac and Luke get their ice cream in the living room so we can watch our show.
Isaac (screaming): I got something on my shirt
Dad: It doesn't matter just sit down and eat your ice cream
Isaac (screaming): It's dirty, what if it gets on something...
Dad (now yelling): It doesn't matter....just deal with it
At the same time Luke comes over to me.
Luke: I no like my ice cream
Me: Laughing....
Luke (screaming): I no like my ice cream
Me: laughing harder....
Noah: Why are you laughing?
Me: laughing harder....
This is not a joke. This is a perfect example of my life. Lucky for everyone I am feeling fantastic lately so I can just laugh and roll with the punches! Thank heavens it is almost bedtime.....
