What am I up to?

Seriously, what have I been up to? I'm asking you, 'cause I'm not really sure.

I've been running more. Using the Nike+ website 'coach' to train for a 10K in June. I won't be *fast* but I will finish. I just ordered new running shoes from Zappos.com and they should arrive today. I hope I hope I hope I love them.

I've been muddling through laundry, dishes, school, supervising kid chores .... those things are endless.

I've been waffling and failing on healthy eating. As usual, it's the junk food that really undermines me, not so much the meal tweaking.

My creative energies have mostly gone into birthday cakes and cooking. which I haven't blogged, but still take pictures of as if I'm going to blog them.

I've continued in my tradition of not being well scheduled with a baby, probably even less so now that we've wandered away from the "whole family peace & quiet" time in which babies always napped. So now I have a busy toddler who doesn't really sleep regularly. It's taking it's toll on me, but I'm too tired to deal with it. She does sleep, it just tends to be when she decides to, rather than when would be good for the rest of us. Blah blah blah.

Oh, and several of you have asked about the robots. Yes, there was plenty of food. Hungry high school kids can be surprisingly picky, but overall there were good reports that they enjoyed the meals. I provided three meals over the season. The team did very well, making it to the quarter finals in both the State and later the World competition. Both times they were eliminated by the team that went on to win, so we can't really complain about that. The kids and the robot did great, and we were pretty impressed with the whole FIRST Robotics experience.

The kids who are in the community honors choir had their final performance last night and all sang well. I completely forgot to bring my camera. And Eminoodle has been cast in another play, so I'm juggling rehearsals and costume help for that. Hopefully I'll update on that when it comes up, but don't count on it, given my recent blogging record.

Actually, I'd like to get back to blogging regularly. But I won't promise. I did (gulp) join facebook with my real name, so if you know me and want to look me up, you can. Don't expect much from me there, either, though. I do still hate facebook. LOL.

I wish I had more interesting things to say, or deeper stuff. Truth is, I'm kind of plodding along feeling pretty good about a few things and like I'm trying not to *sink* in the rest of the stuff. But if you someday read a headline "Local woman and part time runner drowns in pile of laundry" you'll know it's me.
