Oh how I love the ease of composing Three Things Thursday. I wish it was Thursday every day. Well, except for Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
1. My oldest kid, 10-year-old Benjamin, is graduating from elementary school this morning. Out here in Colorado, that’s 5th grade. In California, it would have been 6th. But whatever. I have a kid graduating from grade school. I’m old. Really, really old.
2. Yesterday was my wedding anniversary (as evidenced by my Wordless Wednesday). You want the exciting? My mom came in to visit from Atlanta for four days, landing at 8:15 a.m. She’s staying at the house. Tiff couldn’t come up to my work to have lunch with me because she had a two-hour appointment with one of Jack’s therapists. We couldn’t go out to dinner because Jack was super cranky and wouldn’t go to sleep until 9 (normally it’s about 7:30). Tiff was crazy tired from being up for three hours the night before with Jack, so we didn’t even go out to get some dessert. I spent the evening talking with my mom. Tiff spent the evening laying with Jack, trying to get him to go to sleep. Good thing it’s not the anniversary that makes the marriage. Sometimes life is like this.
3. Don’t ever run a marathon on a bad hamstring. That’s what I did last Sunday and now I’m paying the price. I haven’t run this week — all I get is the spinny bike at the gym, and while it’s fun to play on Twitter when I’m working out, it’s not making me any faster for June 9, when I run the Utah Valley Marathon in my only shot at getting back to Boston next year.
That’s three. Yay me, I can count! What are you doing this long holiday weekend? I know what I’m doing … whatever Tif says I’m doing! See you Tuesday …
