Sleepless but we saw Santa!

Well. The kids were up from 12-4. Ugh teething! It never ends.

That being said it took my mom 2 1/2 hours to make a 45 minute drive. All so she could come to the kids christmas concert. They did amazing!! These two were dancing, clapping, singing, and signing. I am so proud of them. And yes. Blankie did make a stage appearance.

We went to see the mall Santa and I figured Sara would freak out. I was wrong. It took a bit for her to warm up but she did. What suprised me was danyal refused to leave Santa!! So cute oh to believe in Santa.
Ok maybe I still do a little.

Would you like that now or later?

I know kids have a year where they are always sick. This looks to be our year. There has been about a healthy 3 days since November started. After their fevers we have now moved on to coughs that keep me up all night. Danyal won't fall asleep with it and Sara is up all night coughing. I know it's a cold as it is only really bad when they lay down.

And now Dino's was just up again with a fever. This could be a long year.

This meant that I missed a workout yesterday due to a sick girl. I hope I don't have to cancel to much. Ugh.

Snow day

At least it was fresh snow. All they wanted to do was eat it.

Early wake up call

I am not sure if it is growing pains or teeth (plus a stuffy nose) but Danyal has been getting up at 3 am for the last week. I have to say though nights like tonight just melt my heart. We were rocking and he feel asleep and I just couldn't put him down. He is very much a toddler as he never falls asleep if I rock him. About 5 minutes later he snored and woke himself up, thank you Mr. Sniffly cold.

Flashback

This picture took me back to the late 80's early 90's! Oh the hairspray!

Take 3?

Ok so I have tried to post two other times and both disappeared and didn't save.

I talked to people in my school program and it appears the last class I have to take is taught by a new professor. Not good! I guess they finished in October and still don't have grades for anything. Profs have 10 days to get grades in. I can already tell this may be a frustrating class.

On the workout side I did a 4 mile run Sunday which was rough having to stop and cough every few minutes. I have been battling this lingering throat and sinus stuff for 2 months. Yesterday was a Steele day and it felt lovely.

As for races I have a virtual 10k in Jan. a virtual half marathon in Feb and a 7 k in March. Soon it will be time to sign up for the color run again!

On the fun side the kids will have their first ever school Christmas concert next week! I cannot wait.

Done & 13 in 2013 Challenge

Well it's official.  I presented my Thesis last night and it went great! I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out.

It was a big day, I finally got the basement cleaned, got rid of the junk that has piled up since the sale of our last house and now I feel I can relax a little.

I have decided to do the 13 in 2013.  The goal is to run 13 races in 2013. I am going for varying distances as I am trying to increase my race distances. Last year I managed 8-5K's and 1-10K in my first year of running.  I would love to try and get one or two half marathons, three to five 10K's, and the rest 5K's for fun.  It should be interesting.  Thank you Marathon Mom.
