And so it begins...in Carharts

Well, I learned some things. I took Adia in the jogging stroller on Saturday to Moses Cone Park (gravel carriage trails) and bundled her up and was able to run for 2 hours while she slept. It was pretty nice - no guilt about leaving the kids with Ash, plenty of space for water and food. That might be a lifesaver. Yesterday, the training officially started. 30 weeks and counting. Now we have to keep track of blood sugars, exercise, and food - Dr. Chuck at ASU is beginning the study. On monday, I woke up early and rode for 45 minutes on the trainer - BS was 190 in the morning. I ate a couple of eggs and toast after that and went to school. I was 107 at lunch and ate rice and tempe. I was low by the end of school and had a pop tart. Met Ash in town for a 4 mile run and realized I forgot my shorts. No worries, though - I had my Carharts on (I always have my carharts on) and off I went - half way through I was 51. I ate pasta last night and figured I'd go high, but woke up this morning at 95. Oh, and my alarm was set for 4:30 and I didn't wake up until 6. Not to happy about that. I really need to ride before I leave in the mornings. Day 2 is starting with a fizzle.

Christmas Holidays

Here's how the Christmas break began... We had exam week which is not exactly the most fun week of them all, but I had finished my exams the week before so it wasn't too bad. The weather reports were saying that we were going to get a nice snow and it would start that last day - Friday. Well, Friday looked fine - we had a half day because only one exam had to be given. As the kids left, there was a nice rain falling. I thought this kind of stunk because I rode my bike to school - I was ready for cold, but I didn't relish a wet ride home. I did however, haul out the mountain bike because I hoped there would be a dusting of snow for my trail ride home. This will become a bit prophetic later. Well, we teachers move to the cafeteria for our Christmas luncheon - it was nice - great food. While there we notice that in the rain are a few snowflakes.... Well, lunch ends and I check my box and take the outside path to my class. There is an inch of slush on the parking lot. Hmmm. I t

Cat is wiggling out of the bag

Dave, me, Reid before we froze our butts off.  The beard helped.  Its gone now.  Zoe is happy about that. Esme already sticking her tongue out at the camera? Trio of goobers Trio of cuties Jon - after the dino egg pinata - kind of stormtrooperish - this is an old pic from Zoe's birthday - we just found these on a camera.  We realized that we never did anything with them because it was just after these were taken that the blood clot was diagnosed.  That was 3 months ago. Dino egg pinata - Zoe's 5th birthday.  What craftsmanship on the egg! Zoe's birthday, obviously Nice cake Zoe!  What kind of an artist could do that? MawMaw, Zoe, Ash, Adia Ashley's masterpiece - the sock horse.  It is really amazing what Ash can do with almost nothing. I just like this, no real reason.  It makes me smile. OK, I started this a week ago - and now I had to go back and redo it because it is now all old news.  And I'm in a rush, so it won't be too detailed.... but last weekend, the 3
