Moving Day

No, not me, sillies! But all children over the age of twenty are GONE!! Move-in date was December 1, and now on December 4, I finally wake up to an empty house! Well, other than Sweet Lou, who had snuck in my bed sometime during the early morning hours, and was keeping me warm and toasty. It was really strange to open the door to MiniMe's room and see it empty. Well... empty exept the bag of garbage, the backpack and books that he doesn't need anyway (having dropped all his classes this semester when Miss Pegasus went into the hospital.) Hubba Nine is happy to get his workroom back. I must admit I will be happy to see those little toy cars leave our bedroom, but I will miss the help when I forget to change the laundry to the dryer and when I won't be home when Sweet Lou gets out of school. And who will explain where my conversations have gone when I make quantum leaps and everyone else is confused? Just so you know, if I run/walk/ride my bike down to my good friends house (.3 miles) and go through the fence into the right of way, and over the levee, I come out right at the street where "the bigs" live 3 doors down! And who am I kidding? I'm sure they'll come over to eat on a regualar basis.

Turkey Day 08

So, here's La Familia the day after Thanksgiving! We forgot to take pictures on actual Thanksgiving ,what with the race we helped put on in the morning to Miss Pegasus' sugar drop in the afternoon! It was an exasperating day, but we had fun in the 'Ville. This was our first time to have Miss Pegasus overnight, and I must admit... noone should do their first glucose test on a four year old at 2 AM!! It took three fingerpricks - poor thing. I hope she thought it was all a bad dream! And, might I add... two adults and two children in one foldout couch-bed... a little crowded! Please, don't think I slept well. Oh well, breakfast at The Texan made up for it, and I slept all the way home in the car!

My three amigos

So here are my kiddos. Why yes, there is quite large gap in their ages. But at least we had instant babysitters when the youngest was a baby!

Well, today was a busy day! After getting Sweet Lou off to school, Hubba Nine and I ran some errands, I dashed off the Red group's newsletter, and rushed off to work. Late, of course, but I opened the store on time. So I busily sold running shoes and sports nutrition, all the while entering race entries onto the computer! But while I was gone... everyone left! Sweet Lou went with her grandmother for the week, and Hubba Nine took off with a buddy to race little toy cars. So what's a girl to do? I worked two hours late, then met Beauty and her boy for dinner. We went to her friends new restaurant, but alas, the Marathon Mamma t-shirt and jeans I was wearing didn't seem appropriate for the jazz combo that was playing ; ) So off we went to Panda Garden. YUM!
I have now opted to pass on the 16 mile run I'm scheduled to do at 4AM tomorrow, and will join some other San Antonio Rock and Rollers for 6 miles at 6AM. I don't even think I'll feel guilty about bailing on my beloved red group either. I'll just tell myself I'm checking up on the red halfers!

Happy birthday to my friend Sassy (shown here with Sweet Lou and I at Halloween one year!!) I wish her all the best.

Inaugural Post!

This is a week for inaugural happenings! I ran the inaugural Rock n Roll San Antonio Marathon this week, and now I'm writing the inaugural post for my new blog! After keeping up with Sassy through her blog (after she just HAD to go and leave us!!) I have decided this is a cool way for friends and family to keep up with our little (growing!) clan! So... here's to another adventure!
