While I have not been blogging.....

....I have been running. Yes. Running. Again...I can't believe it myself. I have been running. Kay and I started running in May. We are still running. I'm not sure I can say that I actually like to run yet....but I like the way I feel when I am finished running. So maybe someday I will be able to say that I like to run? Maybe someday I will call myself a runner, too? Maybe. No run today though....it's raining. And I ran last night. And Monday morning. Thanks to the rain, I am forced to rest. Hmm...I just kinda sounded like a runner, huh? Sorry. I'll try to be more careful! It's getting harder and harder to find a 'good' time to run. We had been running at 5:30 in the morning. It's still dark at 5:30 in the morning now. I will run in the rain...(and have)....and I will even rain in a thunderstorm...(have done that too)...but I don't want to run in the dark. I will figure it out.
So, my friend, Molly, asked me to start blogging again. She's a good friend and I like her alot....so I'm back. Thank you, Molly! I have missed y'all! I might not be here tomorrow night, though. Wyatt has a football game....so until next time....y'all behave yourselves!

Today I am thankful for: willpower that is keeping me from making strawberry cupcakes. I really want a strawberry cupcake.....

Special request by Molly....

Well, here I am. Yes, it's been 3 months since I was here last. Maybe 3 months since YOU have been here, too. But....I'm back. For now, at least. Anyway, summer has come and gone. Busy as usual....that's nothing new. So, to recap the summer....Wyatt had basketball camp at Tennessee Tech, football camp at the high school, and football practice at his own school. Ben and Maria took a quick trip to The Aquarium in Chattanooga, and worked the rest of the summer. The King and I went on our first vacation without the kids.....yes, you read that correctly....our FIRST kidless vacation! We had a great time at the beach. I missed my boys, but still managed to enjoy the beach! So, now school has started for Wyatt. 8th grade. Already. It seems like he just started 2nd grade last year...and next year he will be a Freshman in High School. No way. Really?? Yes way. Ready for another shocker?? Ben will be 20 next week. I know. I can't believe it either. After all, I'm not old enough to be the mom of a 20 year old. Well, I am....but it sure doesn't seem right! Well, I'm pretty sure that catches y'all up a little. I'm sorry I have neglected y'all. Really. I am. I will do better. Until next time....stay cool and stay dry!

Tonight I am thankful for: Friends to remind me that they like to read my blog, homegrown tomatoes, and a hot bath.
