I have so many mixed emotions about the half marathon, and I’m trying to formulate coherent thoughts on it, but in my brain, I’m not really succeeding.
My mom and I drove to Wichita (a couple of hours away) on Friday afternoon, picked up our packets, and met up with my […]
I finished my half marathon yesterday….yes, yes, I did, despite poor health and neglected running legs. More on that later. But, though I’m not getting much done today, I’m sharing something with you that I’m really excited about.

All you have to do is head to […]
Last night, after a very long holiday weekend, bedtime was a joke to a couple of little ones. The littlest may have been awake in his crib longer than I was, in my bed.
