RR - 9K with Amy.  -14C temps in mid March is ridiculous.

KR - didn't eat any bday cake, but ate the 4 oreos that were the wheels of his fire truck cake.  finally crashed from the high around 9:30 and fell asleep while I was reading him a book.

FR - veggie omelets, potatoes.

Morning.

RR:  4 or 5 after work.  Has to be quick.  Had a really good 10.5 miler this weekend.  Explored new streets that i have never been on.  Found a beautiful house for sale.  Looked it up when I got home and the price tag matches the beauty!

BR:  Well, the doctor said that he thought H had two different bouts of the stomach flu.  I didn't believe him....until yesterday when

TR:  J puked all over the place at Target.  Sigh.  He's been puking ever since.  DH spent the night with him in his room so I could sleep and take care of H when needed.  Poor guy.  DH told me that J asked if Mama could hold him when she got home from work.

NRR:  Had a decent weekend before the puking started.  Saturday was low key.  We were supposed to have friends over but they backed out because they weren't feeling the best.  Sunday we went to church, had Panera for lunch, and hit Old Navy.  I got a new outfit.  Best part was silly sales guy forgot to ring up the pants.  Score!  Can't wait to wear it.

FR:  Lasagna was really good this weekend.

BBL.  Bell rang.

zorbs - B's birthday cake looked awesome.  Ugh on the cold temps.

ernie - nice work on the mileage!  -23??? that's completely ridiculous.

mer - aww poor boys and the flu!  That's so nice that DH slept with him.  Hope everyone feels better soon.

RR: Rest day. Super windy- its whistling around my house in a particular way that it sounds like R crying on the other side of the house so I couldn't sleep. I haven't ran a race since August and have been only running about 10 mpw. I lift 2x a week and I feel like I'm having a hard time fitting it all in.

TR: Was a sweetie this weekend.

FR: No idea, and I forgot to thaw meat. I really need to work on eating something vegetarian occasionally and should probably watch my calories.

NRR: Still feeling sad about the conversation with DH on Thursday and him not wanting more kids. During the pub crawl  on Saturday I made a comment about how we should go on a cool vacation for our 30th bdays next year and he was very dismissive. If I can't have more babies, I want to take vacations dammit. I think we are going to have to revisit our conversation.

E_rain - wowsers, speedy half!!  Great job!

spike - I have Rubbermaid closet hangers on the one side where our clothes hang, and then bought Ikea cabinets for the other - they have a less deep option that you wouldn't fit hanging clothes, but that you can get drawers and shelving for, I don't have room for hanging on both sides, but the cabinets leave a ton of space for drawers and folded sweaters, etc.  My hutch had all our nice glassware plus bibs, and kids face wiping clothes, a bunch of craft stuff, etc.  Mostly it's a mess because I'm hoping to also put a desk into the dining room, but can't buy anything until the hutch is in because I don't know how much space I'll have, and my paperwork has been piling up and I haven't really done anything about it because I'm waiting to get the desk to organize it into.  Sorry about not seeing eye to eye w/ DH on kids.  My dh would have been fine with 1 or no kids, but knew how important it was to me - before having any kids he never realized how much he'd love being a dad though, so he's very glad that he went with my wishes.

zorbs - I have to agree.  B's firetruck cake was really cool.  I found a bulldozer made of cupcakes that we are going to try to put together for J's party.  If you saw the area I was running in, it would make sense about the house.  It has everything from 500K to 50k on one 1/2 mile stretch.  I guess from the outside, I didn't expect what I saw on the inside.  It helps that it was on a 2.5 acre wooded lot and less than 1/2 mile from the lake.  Taxes were nuts too.

ernie - I second the screaming about the temps.  I am so over it.  I refuse to run if it is too cold.  I am done trying to be badass and run in those temps.  It. just. sucks.

CAR - How was the work social on Friday?

e_rain - That is a crazy fast half!  Good for you.  Did you place at all?

spike - I have been thinking a lot about your post from Thursday.  It took DH a while to "bond" with J, but our situation is different because he is the primary care taker during the school year.  Anyway, I have seen those two bond SO MUCH since H was born.  Because, naturally, I have H all the time.  Its to the point where it makes me a little sad that he wants DH and not me.  I will say, that it took me a while with H.  There was just something that I didn't feel 100% connected, but that has passed.  Maybe the reason your DH can't see himself bonding with R is because, in a way, he hasn't been forced to.  We as moms really don't have a choice and it just happens.  Your DH works a lot and does a lot outside of the house so when would he really have time?  I hope you don't take what I am saying offensively.  Because I am truly not.  That is a hard place to be in.  I remember going to book club one night after J got kicked out of daycare and one of the girls announcing that she was pg for the second time.  I went home that night and cried because I didn't think I would have that opportunity again.  I think you and him do need to revisit that conversation and tell him how your are feeling after hearing what he said.  Regardless, sending you a big hug.

mer - I like "house hunting" like that when I am running, too. Sometimes I find really nice house and make DH go look at them, even though we aren't really planning on moving. Ugh, sorry about the stomach flu going through your house. Hope everyone is healthy again soon.

CA - Boo on the grumpy kid yesterday. That is not fun for anyone. Sounds like your closet is really coming along! Good luck on getting everything organized. I am terrible at keeping the house organized.

e-rain - Amazing job on your half, speedy mama! Ha ha, yes, I think you just might be able to beat your 10k time if you raced another one now.

spike - Yes, the conversation with DH should definitely be revisited again. And again. As many times as it takes, really. Most of the our community centre stuff is during the daytime too, so don't be too jealous!

rg - Way to go R on the counting! S thinks she can count to 20, but really she counts to 12 and then yells "Twenty!" and claps for herself. That sounds like a pretty big reno project on the room. Weird that it has no insulation now! Is it part of an addition that the previous owners didn't finish or something?

zorbs - I have no idea whether the shorter repeats are weird but I have a lot of them this month and I am happy because I like them so much more than tempo runs! I keep checking the long range forecast and I should really stop, because it just makes me angry. The temperature creeps above zero, and then plummets below. Repeat, over and over. Hopefully it isn't -20 for ATB.
