What I am really cooking!

The title of my blog says that I am a cook'n mommy, and due to the fact that I have a "bun in the oven" I have not updated this blog in ages!

Whew!

I can't believe it has been over a month since I have blogged! I have been sharing my computer with a teenage girl and three avatar-addicted boys. Go figure! In the meantime, I have reached 1.6 miles, had visits from both my parents and my sister, and torn out a wall in my son's room. Since my kids are all sick and my head feels waterlogged from my own cold, I can't hear inspiration speaking to me at the moment!


Dinner tonite: Ziti with homemade Italian sauce and sweet Italian sausage. Bread is optional :)

Loquacious

First, today's run. I got going early enough to drop off the dog after our 1 mile run/walk/sniff and take a half mile run solo. Enough for now...my shins are starting to hurt today. I guess that is a clue to cool it here. I can't wait for camping this weekend and running on non-concrete surfaces!

Second, my adorable Micah climbed onto my lap this morning and snuggled up to me. I love his little warm body in the morning and his sleepy-eyed "I love you"s can't be beat! He turned his precious face to mine and in his most serious tone (which all 3-year olds have) said, "Mom, if you just break my neck and take it off, off, and off, there might be batteries in there. And then you can play your own game of Lego Star Wars." I am still trying to find the connection in his little brain. Amazing that this is the same boy who told a friend last night "That didn't bother me at all." when he got his head hit with a laser gun. Hmm...maybe that gun did do some damage after all!

Surprise!

Now, before anyone who reads this blog thinks I am pregnant....I AM NOT! But I have been surprised so many times the last three days that it is notable.

First, I was surprised Saturday night when I went with my teenager to a Skillet concert. Decypher Down and Disciple were opening. I have to be honest, I couldn't tell a Disciple song from...um...anything until we bought the album. On first impression, I found myself thinking "Aerosmith met God!" But then I went to the concert. I loved it!!! Sure, they did all sorts of moves I don't even think I could do, but you just couldn't sit still. And when Skillet came on (I recognize more of their songs) I was really ready to go. I think I am hooked. Bring on the next concert...

The second surprise came today. We are having a new room built in our basement for said teenager. She has been putting up with a space a little larget than a closet for the last 6 months. I got called down to talk to the contractor in the middle of Glenn's reading lesson. When I came upstairs, fully expecting to have to chase down students for more school, I found Steven on the couch finishing the lesson with Glenn. It was such a proud moment. He anticipated a need and fulfilled it! Altruism, here we come! Ok, maybe that is taking it too far. But someday...

For dinner tonite: Chicken Parm, Alfredo sauce with pasta, spinach salad with strawberries and toasted nuts.

Superchick

Thank God for teenagers! If Lindsay were not living with us, I would have no good music to run to!!

Running

I started running with Lindsay a few weeks ago. Not sure what I was thinking, but so far my feet have not fallen off, and I am not so sore I can't get out of a chair anymore.

The first time we timed my mile, it took me 10:34. The next time we timed 1.6 miles and it took me 13:42.

Halfway There!

We just had our 110th day of school! According to Kentucky Law, we need to have 175 of them. It looks like we will finish our work before we complete the requisite number of days. I guess I can slow down a little.
