Still Kicking and Kicking off the School Year
Wow! Okay. Serious blog neglect going on here. Going to try to remedy that as we kick off the school year this month. At the end of the day Sam thanked me for making the first day back stress-less. LOL! If stress-less is the same as fun, or at least close to it, then today [...]

Rocky Week
No C5k workouts this week. Did stretches and yoga but things were getting worse. My left leg felt like it was burning… even when lying down. It had been a month since coming off the Neurontin. And I was still needing up to 2400mg of ibuprofen a day to keep the pain manageable. So I [...]

Family Yoga and taking it slow.
Woke up Thursday morning pretty gimpy and sore. The sore is good, the gimpy not so much. The kids asked for yoga again so we did Gaiam’s Family Yoga DVD. The kids had fun doing back bends and being upside down. I had intended to do a third C5k session on Friday but decided against [...]

C5k W1D2: the good, the bad and yoga
Two workouts in one week! Went to the gym yesterday. Steve had a lot to say about it today. Lots of advil needed to keep me upright. Second session of a.m. yoga with the kids today. Boggles that running does not hurt but yoga (and just about everything else) does. ?????? Even tried some karate [...]

C5k: W1D1(again) and other misc notes
My mom was up for a visit last week (yay!) so I didn’t exercise at all. Figured I’d better do day one again. My right IT band is a bit tight but other than that I’m feeling pretty good. Gotta remember to stretch and roll tomorrow…. hrm… maybe we’ll start studies off with some morning [...]

Solid Figures & Nets
Started to write this about two weeks ago! Still worth a post… Friday we had what I think was our first really combined lesson. Of course it really wasn’t supposed to be Sam’s math lesson that day was 3D figures and “nets”. Thank goodness for teacher’s manuals! I had no idea what a “net” was. [...]

Some Days are Good
Yesterday we had some awesome art time. Both kids and I sat down for about an hour-and-a-half and made polyclay figurines. Do you know how rare it is for ALL THREE of us to be engrossed in the same activity for that long. Like so rare it has never happened kinda rare. LOL! I felt [...]

A Full Day
Today I tried to get out and get as much done as I could. If I’m going to have to live with this pain for a while, I might as well live and get out there. Took Sam to get his hair cut, stopped by Petco, took us out to lunch, took the kids skating. [...]

What week are we on? 6?
I think it is 6. Hrm. Will check but wanted to get something up here before we got any further behind… err… along. This last week has been full of activities so there’s been less bookwork. But here’s a pictorial review of the highpoints: the painted lady butterfly came out of its cocoon one evening. [...]
