Stuffing.....and I'm not talkin' turkey either.

Yeah. I know what you're thinking right now. Katy's given up her blog in favor of another social networking site. I can see your dissapointement as the realisation hits. You really looked forward to my posts and the thought of never reading antoher is nearly to much to bear. Weeeell, I must say....don't give up on me yet!

I have live more life in the past three week than I I normally do in two regular months. Here's just a itsy-bitsy, condensed update.

At the end of last year I signed Ben and I up for parenting classes. The next week-end the Twins had their 8th b-day. The next week-end Ben was diagnosed with vertigo in the E.R. and did NOTHING to help him (we later found out vertigo is a SYMPTOM not a diagnosis....brilliant). I stated the 2nd week of school while Ben was home and the ENT wouldn't see him. That day I took my first college Algebra exam and cried more than I had in a VERY long time. We were very scared. Ben recovered from the Chicken pox that lodged in his inner ear for a week (it caused the vertigo. It was so severe that he couldn't walk on his own. I literally had to do nearly everything for him). The Wed. of that week I had to call and let the counselor for the parenting class that we'd be there next week (even though I wasn't sure we would be). Ben celebrated his birthday. His parents came up even though he was hopped up on Valium (the conversations were funny!). He went to work that Monday and began catching up on the first two week of college courses. All through this I had the every day tasks to accomplish. Laundry, dishes, kids to school, my school and studying. It was a trying time and yet I was overwhelmed by the fact that we have it good 90%. It is times like this that make me thankful for the good times.

NOW....running. Or is it RUNNING....now? Heh. Either way I've got the 411 for ya. I'm probably gonna give you more than you really want but that's just me. I go above and beyond....*smile*

Three weeks ago I ran 6, 11 min. miles. It sucked (and we're not even allowed to use that word in our family....shhh....don't tell Ben or the kids for that matter). I am in no way exaggerating either. Hills and raining with road grit in my teeth. Uggg.

A week ago Tue. I ran 4. Then this Tue. I ran 3.5. Today Ben and I started our new marathon training program and ran 3 miles. Next Saturday we're supposed to run 5. Then 6. Then 7.....after that....death. :0) I'm kidding.
Right now I'm 5'7'' and 154 pounds. By the completion of the 'thon I hope to be 140 and 5'10''.....you've never heard of 'thon participants growing taller?.....heh. I haven't yet taken my measurements but I will soon and post those too. This is going to be the beginning of my up.front.and.personal.ness.

Now for the good stuff....my wine! I hope you enjoy the remaining week-end and see you when I'm three inches taller. That is unless I'll see you previous to October. That's when all the magic happens.
