(not) running…

Gah. The one thing that I miss is the one thing I am avoiding. All the usual excuses: It’s too dark when I get home. It’s too cold. I don’t have time. Blah, blah, blah. I really need to run. I need to get rid of some unwanted pounds. Should be easy right? *sigh*

To be continued…

two years…

Finally took to Mia to her 2 year check up.

Weight 23 lb 10 oz (10%)
Height 34 3/4 in (75%)
Head 18 1/7 in (50%)

When the doc combined her stats, she is on the 5% female child chart. I would’ve never had thought I would have a tall and thin kid. But the doc did not seem concerned. He did say if we wanted to, we could continue with the whole milk.

Her hemoglobin was great. She got her tb test and her hep a shot. And she got her flu shot. She didn’t even cry at all. When the nurse was about to administer the tb test, she was like ouch even before she actually did anything. She is such a big girl.

Diego got his flu shot too. He did get some soreness later in the day. Mia didn’t seem to have any reaction to it

budding artist…

Diego drew this wonderful picture at school today:

Boy's Art

By far my favorite one yet. I love the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower and the Bean. The Statue has boobs (I think) and the Bean has the city’s reflection with people under and around it. Someone suggested to frame it. I think I will.

happy 2011…

Okay, so it’s four days into the new year but it’s the thought that counts, right?

Anywho, Happy New Year to everyone. I hope this year will be better than last. I am hoping that Eric will get a job. I am hoping to lose the extra pounds that I have added on. I am hoping that I will a million dollars. Well, I don’t have too much hope for the latter but much more hopeful for the former. 🙂

Lot of things happened in 2010. Good and bad. Let recap shall we:
January – Went to Disney World. Ran/walked my first marathon.
February – Sick
March – Sick
April – Diego got glasses
May – Status quo
June – Status quo
July – Diego turned 5, went to Michigan City
August – ran a half marathon, Eric lost his job
September – Diego started Kindergarten
October – I turned 36
November – Mia turned 2, Eric turned 37
December – Diego lost his first tooth

Like I said, good and bad happened. It could have been worse so a little bump in the road is a nice wake up call for all of us.

May 2011 be a better year for all of us.
