Today I felt like crap.  I don't think I did a very good job fighting this cold.  I felt so crappy the neighbor, took pity on me and gave me her stash of Thera-flu.  I drank some (daytime of course) and that got me through the morning.  Spencer and I went to the Dimond Mall and picked up Kayleigh's ballet shoes. We went to a few other stores too.  Oh and the Natural Pantry to get my favorite laundry soap, Country Save.  It's some crazy hippy crap.  But it's good for jackets and snow gear since it won't mess with the waterproofing stuff.  I needed to pick it up since winter is nearing!

We came home and I let Spencer watch a movie while I mostly sat there and felt like crap.  Then it was time to get Kayleigh from the bus.  Rush and do homework(which we didn't even finish) and then off to ballet!

Kayleigh was so happy that I picked up her ballet shoes.  You can see the pride, pure joy and happiness on her face. 

Look at the pride on her face!

Can you spot Kayleigh?

 So the instructor explained to me how it all works.  And I did some paperwork and viola she was in!  The instructor seems nice.  She was a little awkward talking to me.  But was wonderful with the girls.  I find that a lot.  People who work with kids sometimes are a little weird talking to parents. 

Anyway, while she was in class I hopped on the treadmill and ran 3 miles.  It felt good.  I actually felt like I was working this cold out of me.  It felt so good I didn't want to stop.  But I had to get Kayleigh from dance class.  So I grabbed her out of class.  And asked the teacher how she did.  She said wonderfully!  And she looked so happy!  I think she is going to love it!  Then Spencer saw the little boys doing Tang So Do at the same time as Kayleigh's dance class and he wants to do that.  So I signed him up.  All that took about 15 minutes.  I decided that I was going to hop back on the treadmill and do another mile or so.  So I let the kids play and ran some more.  I ran a whole mile without walking!  That made me really proud of myself.  I'm not really training to be able to run without walking.  I like the walk breaks, it breaks up my run for me.  But I wanted to see if I could do a mile.  And I did it!  I did another mile after that.  For a total of 5 miles tonight!!!  WOO HOO FOR ME!

I am definitely going to run on nights that the kids have class, but their classes start at different times.  So I am going to have to stop for a few minutes to pick them up and drop them off.  Spencer's classes are Tuesdays and Thursdays 530-6 and Kayleigh's is Thursdays 5-545.  Next week I think I am just going to go a half hour early and run while they play because I want to watch him, for the first few times at least!

Spencer seems so excited!  When he was watching those little boys he had such a look of happiness on his face.  I can't wait to see him do it!!!!

So now we are home.  It was a rush to get dinner and bedtime done.  Kayleigh had to finish her homework too! We are starting to get back into our little routine.  But now we have another adjustment to make.  Which is just fine.  We'll figure it out.
