DYK I typed about 4 different titles - all stupid. The one I landed on isn't all that great... but whatever!!


dyk and I had such a BAD day with the kids...and I do mean bad, terrible, horrible, made me want to cry, have an anxiety attack driving down the highway bad....


dyk that I decided even though we're 20 minutes from the New York New Year - it would make me happy to start this?

dyk I wish I had something to do today - other than the same as yesterday - balance checkbook, pay bills, clean some more.... just the little things I didn't get done yesterday like mopping the kitchen, I already need to sweep the house again - so dusty.

dyk we have been totally lazy this morning

dyk the little kids and I have been sitting on the bed with doggie, all morning (except to take her out to pee)

dyk we woke alex up and off he went to work...steph got up and spokeon the phone and then went back to bed..

dyk finally we are getting mobile..

dyk we need to go and get groceries...so that is a short walk, but we can only bring what we can carry...so just a few things...

dyk then we have some cleaning and organizing to do.

dyk I want to get the doggie out for a good walk. It's very cold, so she wears one of emma's vests.(black with fur at the collar!). She is a very fashionable dog, apparently..(she's nervous around traffic, so we will take her on a doggie path nearby)

dyk I need to dig out an exercise video..yeah..it's vhs, if you can imagine..and do that, as I haven't been getting enough exercise in lately at all

dyk and then I am making a roast, or turkey or ham for supper.....

dyk so it's a very easy/lazy day here...

dyk, today is a lazy day for me too

dyk, I'm either going to cook today or tomorrow, but I'm thinking tomorrow since I want to make a run to Trader Joe's (I'm out of banana's) and may decide on something else

dyk, other than that, I'm going to be searching amazon for some used books - I got $80 in rebates yesterday (VISA gift cards) and I want to start restocking my book collection

dyk, one of my goals this year is to read more - I've really let my job get in the way of reading and that doesn't sit well with me


















Past Races:
-Boston Run to Remember Half Marathon, 5/29/11 (2:35:11, no training!)
-Corporate Run, 3.5 miles 6/2/11 (36:38, 4 days after running the half!)
-BAA 10k, 6/26/11 (1:04:52, wanted to be under an hour...)
-Tavern to Tavern

dyk I wish I could take down the tree and decorations today but I'll have to wait for tomorrow?

dyk Abigail got a new workbook at Walmart - an $8 one


dyk she's in between the Kindergarten Basics and the First grade Basics


dyk so we had to move over to the more expensive one - she's done all the $4 ones, lol


dyk this one is more focused on reading readiness so she's writing letters


dyk we're on page 1: A


dyk and she traced her A with her finger, then traced the one on the page... then promptly drew hers... upside down
