RR: coaching session. no idea what we are doing. best not to ask sometimes.

RR2: was surprisingly sore after my tempo run on Saturday. completely underestimated how much effort it required. I thought I would just be able to breeze out a nice 12m LR yesterday. No chance. I just had to rest up.

NRR: trying to avoid xmas. miserable I know. maybe will get some cards for MIL (who has shingles - she gets them a lot with her Lupus) and other ILs. Then, when chores are done, lots of time in the playground!

NRR2: need to grocery shop but the boat with all the food on doesn't get here til this afternoon. They have only one boat that comes per week and they use a slower boat in winter. Great. I have my list ready.

BR: DS points at everything now. and says "TTssss". Has a thing about birds this week. Especially cockerels.

FR: made a yummy turkey and black bean mexican chili with homemade corn-bread topping. DS ate it by the handful DH also had loads of the shepherds pie - apparently that was a hit for our nearly 15mo. Leftovers today. Super easy.

zorbs - Have you had this pain before?  Hope it feels better asap.

bermy - (from Saturday) Yes I did find a bra.  I was guessing I was a 36C, turns out I am a 32/34 D. 

RG - (from Sat) I am still BFing but I am the opposite, I feel like I always need to be wearing a bra.  I like to feel supported!

...........

RR:  Had a really great week of running but not so much the weekend.  I caught something from DH and went for a run Sunday and felt terrible.  I was overheating (yes overheating!) and felt like passing out.  Was aiming for 30 miles for the week but I got about 28.5 miles.  Hoping for 5 today, probably split between the TM and outside.

BR:  Feeling much better after the weekend.  Poor little guy was really snotty all weekend but recovered quickly this time.

NRR:  Almost the entire house is packed!  H and I fly out on Saturday and DH was start driving with the truck after he takes up the the airport.  Luckily we are going out to dinner tonight at some friends bevause our dish situation is pretty limited.

We never got out date night in this weekend but had a really nice night at home on Friday.  DS was sick so he just wanted us both to cuddle him which was nice! 

Hi There!

rr.  SRD today, might do some core work or yoga tonight.  I did 7 yesterday, that brought me to a touch over 20 for the week.  Can't remember the last time that happened.

nrr.  DH went out and chopped down our tree yesterday.  We got a permit from the Forest Service, usually we do BLM.  I think this is the best looking tree we've ever had.  It's very straight and tall!  Hope the dog doesn't destroy it today!

tr.  Took the little fish swimming with me yesterday.  So much fun!  I think M is afraid of the Christmas Tree.  She didn't have any interest in helping us decorate and wanted to go outside the whole time.  She did start to look at the ornaments last night.  Has been such a picky eater lately - those stupid molars are driving all of us crazy!

BBL for shouts, I hope!

zorbs - I hope the knee is better.  

bermy - Why the avoiding xmas?  Glad you are getting some good runs in.  I don't know what I would do if I couldn't just go when I wanted to shop.  

jen - Thats an awesome deal at Kohls!  We have a 30% off so we are going to take advantage of that.  We went the other week and used our Kohls Cash and a % off and got a good deal too!  Glad you had a great time away.  I was thinking about you over the weekend and a  little sad that we can't take your J for the day and do all the fun things we did and give you a day off.  

shelby - Sounds like physically you are ready to go.  How are you doing with it all.  Sorry about the sick little one, but I do love those baby cuddles!

simon - Interesting about the tree.  DH joked about cutting one down near his church, but obviously won't.  We will cut ours from a tree farm today. Those molars are the worst!  I hope they pop through soon!

Patty - Ash grabs us by the hand and yells 'Need you!' Not sure where it came from but it's adorable and annoying all in one.

bermy - I suck at tempos. I can never jeep the correct pace unless I'm on a treadmill.

Jen - I hear you on shopping with kids. I make DH go with us!

Shelby - hope the move goes smoothly!

Mer - yep! Two kids is like half the work sometimes!

simon - why would your dog destroy the tree?

Me:

RR: walk day. Probably 4-5 miles. Had 39 littoral last week.

BR/KR: ash has bad diaper rash. I hate that! Gem seems to be in a good mood. Hope she has a good day at school.

NRR: Finals week for school. Can't wait for Christmas break!

Morning,

RR - 9.3 on Saturday, and hoping for 4ish after C has her morning nap..

BR - so, I was really surprised when C didn't require a night feeding for the first time ever.  She woke around 11:45pm, and DH was still awake.  He comes into the bedroom and tells me not to get up.... we want her to be able to soothe herself back to sleep without us having to rock/hold/pick her up all the time.  I heard DH go in and out of her room a few times, but I fell back asleep before she stopped crying so I don't know how long it took for her to get back to sleep.  She woke up this morning at 6:45 and DH got her back to sleep for another 45 minutes.   I thought, wow she only woke up once, and even though we sort of had to let her CIO, she didn't wake ME up eat.  Well, turns out she woke up around 2:30am, and DH was still up so he went to her instead of waking me.  I'm happy DH went to her instead of me having to do it, and I know C does NOT need a feeding to get through the night, but I still feel discouraged that's she's still constantly waking up and DH was really tired this morning and I'm wondering how he's going to get through the work day.

And even though I didn't have to get up in the middle of the night, I'm still tired from only getting 3 hours of sleep on Saturday night... boo...

NRR - still hating that my house is in a constant state of disaster..

sorry for the fly by... will try to be back later...

Zorbs - hope the knee pain doesn't come back!  I am laughing at B making you play with him.  I know with my kids, sometimes they need to be bossy, otherwise I get too "busy" with my stuff.

Bermy - hope the coaching session goes well.  I can't imagine having to shop that way.  It is kind of sad that when I go grocery shopping, the store is so huge and full of so many things, and I still can't find what I want.  Funny about Christmas.  I feel that things are so busy - we need to fit in all the shopping, decorating, Christmas parties and get togethers it's hard t slow down to enjoy the season.

mjen - $30 for $6, that is pretty good, are you an extreme couponer?  did you get to sleep in during DS's night away?

shelby - yay on being all packed up, at least that is done!  are you feeling better today?  I have been sick and haven't even tried running, good for you  to get out there anyway.  Cuddles are about the only thing good about baby being sick.  How is he today?

mer- enjoy your personal day, I hope you get a lot done.  How many personal days do you get in a year?  MMM, Christmas cookies, I have been eating WAY too much junk lately too...

simon - great job on the mileage.  Fun about cuttin down your own tree.  So, you just go into the woods and hack one down?  We have done Christmas tree farms, but never just a random woods
