It almost never happens here, but it is in the 80s and 90s and it is warm- for us. I don't mind, as long as I can hang out in the shade while the kids play in the water table, I'm happy. It doesn't bother my sleep either, I wish I could say the same for the rest of my little family. Now our run this morning was a little too warm for me, which is scary because I know St. George will probably be warmer. We ran 12 miles and I was pretty much hating life the whole time. We ran 16 last week and I felt GREAT!!! Of course this is also the week that two of Mike's buddies joined us on the run and I felt like the gasping, whimpy wife trailing oh, so slightly behind (and occasionally not quite so slightly). It serves me right, I did not train like I should have this past week. I became complacent. Busy too, but I was being lazy and only fit in a couple of short runs, rationalizing that this was our light week. If you aren't paddling upstream your floating down the river- or something like that.
Ellyn has had a hard time sleeping lately, we think it is because she has been weaned completely from her seizure medication and it acted as a sedative (we are very, very grateful by the way) so she has been waking up at about 3:45 am almost nightly and then stays awake for hours. It has made for some rough nights and some napping on my part when Sawyer naps. Hopefully we'll work through that situation soon and have a reasonable solution. My point is, I don't have as much down time. Blogging might be sporadic as marathon training intensifies and sleep alludes.
Life is good though. The girls are having fun with friends, almost constantly. Sadie has made fast friends with little Camille down the street and her parents and I have a carpool deal worked out since the bus stop is a little far (if it wasn't such a tight morning schedule getting Jane then Ellyn then Sadie out the door we would walk). Jane has become very good friends with a girl in our ward and also a few girls at school. It feels so great not to have to worry about friends for my kids.
Kenn and Barb came down last weekend and we had a great time- as usual. We ate way too much- as usual, and we were spoiled rotten- as usual. They are coming back down again in October, a very good plan in my opinion.
Well... it's time to leave and pick up Jane from the Stake Youth Activity at the beach and then head over to the stake center for a baptism. I'm sooooo tired. I think we'll be heading to bed at about 8:05. That's my plan anyway. Alright, blog out.
