It's my thrid day of being 30, and I'm handling things pretty well. Actually, in the whole scheme of things, this was, by far, one of the best birthdays I can remember. Cards, messages, love, hugs, songs, good food, homemade bundt cake w/ icing made by my sweet daughter, dinner from Outback w/ the fam, an AWESOME surprise classroom decoration done by one of my students, his parents, and sister... the list goes on and on. Thus far, life has been tremendous!
There is a challenge on some of the blogs I read called bfitbday. I have accepted the challenge and my plans for the week include:
3,000 yds of swimming
30 miles of biking
10 miles of running (I'll end up w/ a few more than that.)
I've knocked out 6.5 miles of the bike and nothing else. I have until next Monday to finish up and I'm confident I'll get it all in except the swimming. I just can't find the motivation to get in the pool. BUT, you only get to claim the prize if you do the time, right? So, I'll suck it up and jump in w/ both feet (and a little whining on the side!). :)
This Saturday is my first 6 miler at Tim's Ford... I'm excited about doing it and getting the race schwag too! IT's not a VERA, but still, it's a HUGE accomplishment for me! That's almost half way to the 13.1 mile mark!!! Yeah, baby!
My son has begun to turn towards the dark side... this week he's 1. bitten his Gabba and litterally taken a chunk of her arm 2. gotten in trouble at school for pitching a fit over a toy 3. been put in TIME OUT at school for FIGHTING OVER A CHAIR! Good Lord, have mercy! I can hear it now... "You know how those teacher's kids are!" He's just 19 months old, we've got a l-o-n-g way to go. Bless his little mischevious heart.
This just in... BOTH of my children are SLEEPING IN THEIR OWN BEDS!!! Thank you sweet little naked baby Jesus! Miracle of miracles! We've been rearranging furniture and ended up converting Jack's crib to a toddler bed. When Hadlee saw "what the cool kids were doing" (she's SUCH a sucker for that now, I'm willing to milk it for all it's worth!) she decided she wanted her "little cherry bed" (toddler bed that was beside our bed and acted as cute decor b/c she only slept in it while playing house) beside Jack's. Low and behold, they have fallen asleep w/ very few tears, lots of books (I Love You, Stinky Face being the Hale family fave) and a few swats on the behind. BUT it's all good, my peeps. I've gotten to wake up next to my husband for TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW! YEE HAW!
K, it's time for me to head to bed... I have an observation tomorrow and need to be all perky and happy. Rah.
G'night all.

Glad your birthday was so awesome! and also awesome....both kids in their own beds?? i'd have to see it to believe it :) so, jack's biting raises it's ugly head again, huh....hope that phase is short lived! good luck with all your fitness goals this week!
Sorry I missed the birthday. I have been a bit out of touch. Hope it was great!!
Sounds like you had a fabulous birthday - & don't worry 30 is not all that bad.
Congrats on the bed situation. I know exactly what you mean. When I moved Liza to her toddler, Alyssa was much easier to convince to stay in her twin. We're also not above bribery - they each have a big fancy piggy bank & they get to feed the piggy (complete with piggy sounds & a thank you kiss from her) every time they sleep in their beds all night. It is so nice to share your bed only with your husband.
Good luck on the 6 miler this weekend! By the way, we MUST max out our points to have a chance - purple is in third right now with blue & pink in front of us. Also, no weigh-in next week b/c Asheia is out of town - so we have to try to get those points some other way.
Mae, I left a special surprise on my page for you!
