Hi Lo: September 11th


HI's:

1) I ran 7.7 miles on Monday - longest run yet :)


2) This humble little blog is mentioned in the Family Foundations Magazine from CCL that just recently came out. (Anyone want to send me a copy??)


3) Kids are loving school!!


LO's:

1) Phil has picked up an extra job doing security at the high school he teaches at. This means he works from 6-7:30 am before every school day starts, and then 2:30 to 6:30 on Tues and Thurs afternoons. We are trying to adjust to waking up early, and I am getting better at getting all 4 kids up, dressed, fed, backpacks packed, and out the door between 7-7:15. (Makes homeschooling so much more appealing!)


2) Studying...blah!
3) It's 9/11 - please remember all that lost their lives, and say a prayer for their families!


What are your highs and lows this week?

  1. Wow! Great run. Kudos!
    Really, you've been 'published'? Way to go. I'd love to see a copy..wonder where one can get one?? Maybe a dumb question, but what was the topic?
    Glad school is a success for the kiddos.Hooray!
    Good luck on that studying. I literally thought of you on Tusday realizing that you'd be back at it. That's the best I can do...can't help you with the studying or retaining the info. :)

  7. My legs will be tired for you!

    I will e-mail you pictures from the magazine. My scanner isn't cooperating or I would do that for you. Won't CCL send you a copy or two? Let me know if they don't.

    Congrats! How exciting!!!

  9. CCL will def. send you copies! I'm sorry they haven't arrived yet. I actually haven't gotten mine yet either. But I checked with the editor, and she does have the original list of addresses I sent. So yours should be arriving shortly. Sorry for the suspense! :)

  10. Wahoo on the run! That's fantastic - and a published writer too :)

    Hang in there on those long days, I know they are hard - Matt leaves tommorrow for Hawaii & won't return until Saturday afternoon. I may die (ha!)

    Study hard :)

  11. I saw your blog today in the magazine! Hubby got the mail and was looking through it and said "look it's your blog friend in here!"

    Loved the quote too!

    I haven't run 7.7 miles since I was 19, you go girl!
