Semi-Wordless Wednesday: I think he’s ready for the mosh pit

September 30, 2009

At the festival this weekend, Jones and Shoo went in this really cool climbing thing. Jones was all about getting to the highest level. Shoo, on the other hand, was all about the music.

A mom’s gotta do what a mom’s gotta do

September 29, 2009

Despite running 10 miles on Saturday, I still had 2 miles to run for the week on Sunday. I don’t like to run twice on the weekend as I like to spend time with my family and if I do have “me” time, I want to do something besides run (not to mention I had [...]

10K race/10 mile run

September 27, 2009

Today was the first annual Clarendon Day 10K run. This race used to be known as the Battle of the Boulevard and it started in Clarendon, went down the huge hill into Rosslyn, turned, and then came back up the hill. Now, the race goes down the big hill, goes farther down the highway at [...]

Race report and pulling myself together

September 25, 2009

RunningLaur once again hosted a virtual race and, in my usual jump on the bandwagon fashion, I decided to participate. Lately, after I sign up for a race, I have more than a few moments of buyer’s remorse. This race was no different. I’ve had so much going on lately, that I just haven’t felt [...]

Overbooked

September 22, 2009

I am currently sitting at the computer with Jones’ official school calendar, Shoo’s school calendar, the soccer schedule, and about 5,000 pieces of paper with dates on them. I have email open (because there are some dates in there), google calendar open, and my personal (paper) calendar sitting next to me. For the remainder of [...]

I seem to have lost my blogging mojo too

September 18, 2009

Things are pretty crazy here right now. Jones is doing better at school, but we are at the beginning of the process of figuring out what is going on and how to fix it. This means I’ve been meeting with people at his school, as well as with his pediatrician. Shoo started preschool this week, [...]

Artwork

September 15, 2009

Jones participated in a camp at a local art center this summer. The center hosts local artists and frequently exhibits local and new artists. This year they did an exhibit of artwork from the summer classes and Jones decided to enter one of his creations. Since it was one of only two 3-D submissions, his [...]

And we have a winner!

September 12, 2009

I finally got around to organizing all the entrants (now I get why others insist on one entry per comment LOL) and got Jones and Shoo to pick the winner and the backup winner and, well, backups to the backup winner, just in case LOL. And I’m sad to say that Glaven was not even [...]

Rough week

September 11, 2009

Jones is still having a hard time with the start of school and both boys have decided to respond to the stress by not sleeping. I have issues with insomnia on a good night, so being woken up several times a night and not being able to fall back to sleep is leading to one [...]

Not so wordless Wednesday: Jones

September 10, 2009

Two years ago, Jones started playing soccer. I bought his uniform HUGE, assuming he’d wear it for a few years and pass it down to Shoo. Even though he spent most of his first season running way behind the pack, he’s become quite the soccer player and the uniform has seen a lot of use. [...]
