5 Minutes

Friday night I stretched my legs by taking Jack for a walk. I knew I had to head to bed early. I am officially old. I was in bed by 9 so that I could be up early. 8 miles was waiting on me and while I was looking forward to it I was not dreading it either.

The weather was so incredible on Saturday morning. Humid, yes. I was sweating early on and by the time my run finished I was completely disgusting. It's OK the run was done. I hurried home to shower and get dressed. Girl Clean had her first Angelina ballerina class at 9:30.

She loved the class and after taking classes this summer she was ready to get back in her dance shoes. I love knowing that she enjoys class so much. We left from class and picked up our new computer. Mr. Clean and I both have really old lap tops. He just bought a new one that is supposed to be ours. However I really want to see if mine can be fixed so that it doesn't move slower then molasses in January.

He had to get his hair cut so I took Girl Clean to the nail place next door. $4 for her nails plus $1 tip. I figured that $5 was a small price to pay to keep her occupied while the hair cut was going on. She picked green sparkly polish, the girl is so stylish!!

After a trip to pick up groceries we headed home. I had nursery Saturday night at church. It was my first time in a new nursery, I've always volunteered in the nursery at the church I grew up in. The church we go to now has an actual structure and way that things are done. I really enjoyed my time in the baby toddler room. We had 3 girls and they were all so incredibly cute!!!

Sunday morning I took Jack for a walk. Then at 1 we met my MIL, SIL and nieces at the fair. Oh my goodness, Girl Clean rode everything she was big enough to ride. She's tall for a 3 year old so she was riding stuff that I can't ride. I don't do anything that spins or goes upside down. I did do a roller coaster that went around forward and around backward and that one about did me in. The sad thing is I used to be able to ride anything it was not until adulthood that I started getting carsick and was unable to do rides.

Girl Clean had a blast!!! She went upside down, she rode the 0 gravity ride, seriously anything she was big enough for she did!

I had cleared it with Amy to have her back at 7 on Sunday. We left the fair after several hours and headed home to feed Girl Clean dinner. Fortunately Girl Clean did not have any sunburn. Her Dad and I can't say the same, we are both red as lobsters!

Overall it was a really nice weekend. I really enjoyed the fair and riding the rides I was able to ride. I got my run done. This Saturday will be my 10K and then I'll try to fit in a 9 mile run the following weekend and I should be ready for my 10/13 15K.

Jack Banner really can't understand why he's not running these longer runs with me. I have tried explaining that his little legs are not made for more then 5 miles but he would argue (if he could) that he is still going strong after 5 miles, unlike me...

Happy Monday!!!
