I'm a slacker!

Seriously, you wouldn't think it would be that hard to keep up with this, but oh my word!! the sad thing is that my journal looks even worse than this. The kids have all gone back to school. Sam is totally loving Jr. High. She is playing the trumpet and taking a really cool class where she is learning about building houses, construction and stuff like that. It's really been fun for her. It's nice to have her home an hour before Trey so I can hear about her day and enjoy her for a while.
Her soccer team is really great. She has a great coach who was a track runner in college so he really believes in making the girls run. I love that! the only problem is having the games so far away. Driving three and a half hours to watch a game is a little annoying...
Trey is doing well in school. He started out in a third/fourth combined class. After the third week they decided they had too many students and they brought in a new teacher for the third grade class. Trey was really bummed because his best friend Peyton was in his class and after they split he wasn't anymore. He was pretty sad on the last day of their combined class. I think the new teacher will be great for Trey. She has been a reading specialist for years. That will be a blessing for Trey!! He starts football on Saturday and he is very excited. Peyton is on his team, so he feels a little bit better!!
Lizzie is so fun. I am starting to feel a little bit sad that this is her last year home. Today she was at school and I didn't run this morning, so I had two and a half hours to myself. Yea, you would have thought that would be good, but I was bored after an hour. When my kids were younger I really was excited about having time to myself, now...it's funny how your life changes so much!!
Lizzie is learning so much in school and she loves it. She is also doing a music class on Tuesday mornings that she absolutely loves!! They talk about a different composer every week and they listen to music from that composer. They learn about rhythm, Rondos, beats, feelings of music. It's really great.
I have had a really great month. I have finally rejoined the life of running. I am able to run my thirty mile weeks again, and hopefully I will be able to continue to gradually add more miles. My first ten mile run in over a year was so fabulous!! I am doing a 14 miler tomorrow and I must say I am a little nervous. I haven't run that far before..ever! I'm sure I will be able to do it, it just wont be pretty!!
Steve is still having fun with his dirt bike, he is going to Moab next month.
So, I have only been interrupted four times since I started this...hence the reason my posts are few and far between!
