First, a few gratuitous photos.
More up at Flickr.
The kids are now back at school, and we’ll try to get back into a groove before Christmas holidays hit and derail everything again. We put up the tree tonight, which went much faster than in years past, now that Gabe [...]

Good friends run with you. Very good friends go running with you even when they aren’t runners and, in fact, hate running. When I told Alysia I was coming to visit, and I asked how far away a particular Thanksgiving Day 5K was from her place, I was gobsmacked when she [...]

Too much fun going on to write much, but while we’re breathing for a moment, I wanted to step in and say that we made it here to Alysia’s, and all is well. The kids are as thick as thieves, good food from Eric is in the offing, and…just…it’s what I [...]

I’m still president of the “Vote NO on Issue Carrie” lobby group, but there is this to make me feel better: we’re going to visit Alysia. And she’s even humoring me by doing a Thanksgiving Day 5K with me, even though she’s not a runner. That, plus the look on [...]

For being stupid this morning with Eric, causing tension and unhappiness.
For the run that wasn’t what I wanted [...]

Jeez, what the heck?! I just finished what was a fairly typical meal for me: leftover stew in an acorn squash. Not a huge helping of stew, due to the smallish size of the squash, either. But for some reason, I now feel very Violet Beauregard, post-gum-incident. Oof! What on [...]

…totally equals…
And now the amusing part is that he knows it. He loves the comic. Guess who’s getting a stuffed tiger for Christmas?

Yelled, in frustration over a math worksheet: “MOM! In math class, we don’t always have to get the right answer!”
(…”but in the new approach, as you know, the important thing is to understand what you’re doing rather than to get the right answer.”)

Or something. I don’t know that my funk is definitively related to the whole post-race letdown, or whether it’s the time change, or something else entirely, but I have noticed subconscious tendencies to try to self-medicate with sugar, which…well, it’s about as effective as you might imagine, after the initial hit. Blargh. [...]
