It's been a while since I have done an edition of Three Things Thursday and I honest am having a hard time finding just three random things to talk about...but I will do my best!
Worn....This first full week back to work is honestly kicking my butt!! I don't know how I did it before but wowzer I'm worn! I get up at 4am (today I totally slept right through my alarm...ugh!) to run in the basement for as long as I can before I fly upstairs to take the world's fastest shower. Then I throw my clothes on (not too much to choose from in the closet lately) and out the door I go! At the tail end of the day, after the girls go to bed, I am back to my basement for my
Best Body Bootcamp workouts (which I LOVE...tune in tomorrow for details) and then I crash into bed! Seriously if that scale doesn't move this week you will see me dropping it off the top of the Bourne Bridge!
Perspective...Yesterday our sweet Aub went to a specialist about a lump in the corner of her eye. We have been talking with our pediatrician about it for weeks but they thought it was a blocked duct....well it is now diagnosed as a hemangioma. Don't google it...trust me those pictures are far worse than hers and if your like me it will freak you the F out! Either way they are sending us to Boston for a course of action so that we can make sure it doesn't effect her eyesight. I was so thankful to have my friend Cindy to talk to and breathe relief and details to me about it. Her son had one as well when he was born. At the end of the day, I know that I need to have perspective on this. I have so many friends who's load to bear with their children's illnesses are far heavier than this. It gave me a whole other level of respect for them and what they do each day. This is so minor in comparison and they handle it so gracefully.
Race race baby...I'm closing in on a finalize schedule for this year for my 13 in 2013.
I still have yet to solve the
race pamphlet mystery! All the people I work with that I thought would have put it there have said nothing. I was already going to sign up for one of the races (I
ran it last year to celebrate being 20 weeks pregnant!) and the other one I am working at the expo for
ZOOMA (which can I tell you am SOOO excited for!). I would love to run that one too but I just don't think I'll be in half mary shape in just 4 weeks even though I am well on my way! I'll add a tab here on what my races I'm hoping to do this year and maybe I'll see one of you out there!! There are so many awesome virtual runs out there too and keep your eyes pealed this Spring because yours truly may be hosting one of her own!!!!
race planning is so challenging, but fun when its all figured out. I was debating on doing the Zooma Annapolis for my MD state. I'll be in Purcellville, VA the day before so it would make a great double header, but haven't pulled the plug yet.
ReplyDeleteHopefully you bounce back in no time to be 'half mary shape'
You should totally do the ZOOMA race! They are such fun races!!
DeleteRace planning is definitely a challenge - so far I only have 2 committed to my schedule.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the specialist. My son had one of those on his shoulder - it was pretty bad when he was a baby, but now is barely noticeable. If he gets too much sun, it pops out a little, but mostly you'd never know it was there. Having one near the eye would be much scarier - I'll say some prayers that it doesn't affect her vision.
Thanks Bari! Yes it is the placement of it that is scarier...she'll have to have it removed but the good news is it doesn't have to be surgical!
DeleteSaying prayers for your daughter:) Way to go getting your race calendar! Awesome! Wow, your schedule amazes me. I don't know how you have the energy for all that:0
ReplyDeletehope all is ok with your daughter, please know our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
ReplyDeletegreat job on race planning, wish I had the motivation to do it too!
Hope everything is ok with your daughter! Bourne Bridge is so beautiful. Makes me wish I was heading back up north this summer for more time in New England.
ReplyDeleteIt's always scary when there is something amiss with our babies! Good luck as you move forward with treatment- I'm sure all will be well.
ReplyDeleteRace planning for the year is one of my very favorite things to do :)
Hang in there. As a mom to 4 children and a full time employed individual it just takes time to get into a new routine.
