So, this is my blog. I've never really done this, and obviously, it's my first entry. I feel like I am way behind the times as I don't know what people normally "blog" about. As I type this, I am not even sure what privacy there is to it, that is, if I post pictures, can anyone in the world see them? If so, that means no pics....
I have been away from work for 7 full working days now, a total of 11 alltogether, although I did pop in on Tuesday night. It has been a welcome relief, but I feel like I am going to have to get there really early on Monday to catch up. I have to complete my grant paperwork so the county can get reimbursed. I generally love my job and the cases I am prosecuting, although some of the people can sure drag me down sometimes. I guess that's life and one just needs to move past it.
There are only 20 days until the half marathon. I feel like I am so completely not ready. I tried to run 12 miles today. I don't know if it was fatigue or the wind, but I could not run it all and I only managed a 10 minute per mile pace. That is really bad for me. I was hoping to run 13.1 miles faster than what I ran 12 today. Work schedule is going to make it tought to adequately train this month, but I'll do the best I can.
The kids are growing like weeds and we sure had fun this week being on vacation together. I am concerned for Laura though. She apparently is not keeping up with her class. I know she can do better. I think she just gets easily frustrated and disappointed when she doesn't know the answer right away. Jill still seems to be functioning at near genius level and Mitchell, well, he's a chip of the ol' block as they say. Sometimes I think he is the smartest of the 3 youngest. Katie is back from New York. Sounded like she had a good time and I am happy for her.
