Where have you been?

Where have I been?! Well August 31 was my first day of graduate school for this semester. Guess what? I decided to take two classes. Saturday I am taking the new and improved School Leadership Licensure Assessment, aka a $450 test to determine whether or not you are a good enough test-taker to become a school administrator.

Last Sunday I did go on another walk, for three miles with the dog and the weighted vest. I was hoping that after running three miles a day for the distance of the race with the vest that I could breeze through the 5K sans vest. Yeah, nice thought.

Now I am more crunched for time than ever, have gained TWO MORE POUNDS since the beginning of school. WRONG DIRECTION, MORON! and I am going to buckle down and get prepared for this race. I can't imagine how good I am going to feel about myself when I finish it. Even if it takes me forever, I know I can finish it.

Had the worst time at Walmart tonight. Whole family - going after food - bought way too much food - husband wants kids to eat bread and drink milk - I want kids to be thinner and healthier for health and habit reasons, not image reasons - they would ask for stuff and we would say "no" together - they started whispering and asking us individually for stuff (with big brown eyes) - tried to not freak out because it took so long and we saw so many people we know but did not really want to talk to - get home and remember that I never even combed my hair after I took a shower. Nice.

Look for running update TOMORROW night (Tuesday) since I haven't done much since last Tuesday when I walked for about an hour with my friend during football practice. Back to the grind tomorrow with a couple of extra items to grind. Football, soccer, flag football, admin. test, working a football game, etc.

God bless ~
