On Memorial Day I schlepoed out a hot humid and slow 10K. I'd say it was "fun", but it really was more of the got, humid, and slow variety! I am, however, thankful for a body that can run, and I did very much enjoy the hour and 9 minutes of running time to be alone in my own head.
Our house is a September whirlwind of activity right now. Lady and grandpa arrive tomorrow. With the help of a few friends, I finished painting her house on Wednesday night. I'm headed over there today to clean it because vacant houses plus super disgusting tenants (dogs, smokers) really left the home in a state of filth. It's looking pretty good now though, other than some deep cleaning---which will be done today.
Our own kitchen is also almost finished! I grouted and painted this week and am trying to get light fixtures up today or tomorrow.
There is a youth temple trip tomorrow, but there are also soccer pics and a game and my parents arriving, and our final home inspection with DHS is coming up on Tuesday, so we are going to divide and conquer. Aaron will spend the day in OKC and the kids and I will stay here and knock out the rest of the to do's.
I woke up with a headache and infected sinuses. It's par for the course for this time of year. Once big kids were off to school I crawled back into bed, but I hear little Sloane awake and beckoning me now and even though I think I might rather close my eyes and drift off to a hundred hours of uninterrupted sleep, I know I'm the leading lady in this crazy gproduction and have a role to play. The show must go on!
As I think about all the plates we're jiggling right now, I can count a few we've dropped (again and again and again) but all the ones that truly matter are still spinning. Running isn't my main focus, but I'm fortunate to be able to pick it up once or, if I'm lucky, twice a week. It's a good act and a good life, and today will be a good one!
Happy Friday morning! Do something good.
