You had to know that a cross-country trek, plus the start of a new school year, plus visits from both sets of grandparents, a baptism, a half marathon, a new dog, and serious issues in one child's classroom might push me over the edge. Good thing there isn't anything major on the horizon, cause daily life is more than I can take some days.
As I told my mom this past week, it wasn't that I had anything big going on, in addition to the regular dishes/laundry/toys/etc. the next day's agenda just included:
speech therapy,
a baby-sitter for the little kids while I volunteered at the school,
a playdate for the little kids which included my presence,
visiting teaching a friend at my house after school (since her house is on the market) which included three extra little kids,
and watching another friend's little girl for a couple of hours while he coached an older son's football practice.
To make life easier on myself after such a day I ordered pizza.
Max let the dog out the door while I signed for the pizza.
He ran about a half mile away, across a busy street. On the way back across the busy street a car hit the dog. The driver tried to stop and didn't run over Sampson, but he did knock the dog to the ground.
Dumb dog got up and KEPT RUNNING!
So did I. (Of course I'd been chasing him all along.) Finally he stopped and I carried him home. All 22 pounds.
So no, there's nothing big going on around here, but I wish there were...
like a cruise.

You know, I don't know if I've ever commented on your blog before but I have been reading for a long time! I think I clicked a link to your blog when I was pregnant with my now 2 year old daughter from a pregnancy board. Who knows!
Anyway, I just wanted to say that you're an inspiration to me. I think that you're a great Mommy, wife and role model in general. You have really inspired me to take my running to the next level. Unfortunately, I was hit by a car while training for my first 1/2 marathon on 9/17. I was running the St. Jude marathon in Memphis, TN in December and it was going to be the first time my husband and I went away without our kids! The Lord obviously had other plans for me as it will be a miracle if I'm walking by December! I am determined to be there next year :)
Sorry to hear about the pup but it sounds like he's okay! Wish I met the same fate, haha! I hope life slows down a bit for you in the near future. You are one busy mama - but I'm sure you'd have it no other way. God bless!
Kristinnnnnnn.....you are running yourself ragged!!!! What's up??? But I did have to laugh about you chasing Perry cuz that's exactly what we had to do....fortunately he stayed in the circle!!! And who's having problems at school??
