Friday Fun

So, me and the boys tried out a new library today. It was so great. they have a HUGE kid's section that is like a little kid's library inside the big library. they have a seperate room in that even, for story time too. the kids loved it there. they did pretty good in story time and E sang and danced alot. so funny bc it looked like he was gansta dancing to the songs. kept waiting for him to bust out a crossed arm stance to end the song but he didn't:)) they even did a craft at the end. a little over M's head bc he's sposed to be in the next class down. course both my kids couldn't be in the same class! but i will continue to go, prob'ly just on Fridays for E. maybe i'll leave him in there and go out in the library w/ M if they are okay w/ that.
  School is going remarkably well. trying to keep it fun and entertaining w/ alot of sitting, then standing, etc. up and down. he is writing so beautifully, it just amazes me every day. he's a perfectionist like me i can tell;) so i hafta be careful not to be too hard on him. M hasn't wanted to participate much so i'm not pushing him really. if he wants to come and join in, i let him, and we do flashcards etc. he likes to be a part, but his attn span is lacking for the most part. he's good thru Bible and flag salute and maybe some books, but sitting down doing his papers, he is like 2 swipes w/ the crayon and "I done"....so off he goes. he'll be 3 on the 22nd, so i'm not gonna push him. esp since next year he will start more full time. even then i won't push him. he's so smart for his age already. and he has the pledge of allegiance memorized already! LOL.
 E just learned Rom. 3:23 and i've been introducing him to the plan of salvation. he prayed to ask Jesus in his heart yesterday but i still don't know if he really knew what he was doing, but it just touched my heart so much. he has a tender heart towards God and His word and asks so many questions. can't wait til Awana starts next wed so he can really learn more. amazing how fast he is memorizing too!!!! that is so encouraging.
 well, gotta go CLEAN this funky house. been very cluttered and disheveled since the b'day party Sunday:/ gotta get it spruced bc Tristan's coming to babysit so we can go on a date. we might go to SKY again, bc we've been missing the food. maybe a movie? not sure. Tristan's younger so we'll hafta see what we feel. had a massive fight the night before last, so did alot of talking last night. i think sometimes that just has to happen so you can get to the bottom of everything:/ i would prefer if we could just talk like that all the time instead of it getting to that. really bummed me out. but i thought about a ton and saw alot of areas i was wrong in, so time to change. always stuff to work on. feels overwhelming at times.
  marathon training is going pretty good. been really taxing on my bod to get used to adding more mileage and it's JUST begun--lol. i try to not look a month out bc i would spazz. just trying to take it day at a time and deal w/ it in that moment. most my training, other than my long runs on Sunday, have been on the tready, so that gets very mentally hard. i hafta fight the urge to just jump off and quit like the last 1.5 miles!!! SO BORING> i look at magazines and listen to music, but i really wish i had a tv or something. maybe we can do that?? we have that tiny one in the garage. i think. or maybe i let someone borrow it? i forget. but yeah, it's boring and i'm so tired all the time now. been trying to eat better. been eating like garbage lately w/ the party and homemade cakes etc. they are finally outta the house (thanks to my belly) so will hopefully be purging that wreck outta my system soon w/ better eating and water. yee haw.

well, later tater. need to clean and figure out dinner for the kids.
