Update time!

So, I've tried to post on here three times now, and for some reason the posts won't publish. Weird, I say. Maybe it was because I was trying to complain too much...

3 weeks ago, I got the flu. On the day of our 9 year Anniversary. It was also Easter Sunday, snowy, and cold. I spent the day in bed...

2 days later I got my wisdom teeth pulled. And 2 cavities filled. I've only had one other cavity in my life, and that one showed up just a couple of years ago. Having kids seems to have taken it's toll on my perfect dental record. Anyways, getting teeth pulled while having the flu is a bad idea... lying back in a chair for hours with a mucousy throat is just not good. Nuff said, I think. Didn't help that Aunt Flo decided to make an early visit... pain enough in itself, right there.

So I felt pretty beat-up there for a while. On the upside- eating only liquids for a week helped me drop a couple of extra pounds. Gotta love that! But it put a big damper on my Half-Marathon training program. Not that that has been going all that well, either- tendonitis still plagues my feet, regardless of numerous visits to the foot doctor, who was adamant that a new set of orthotics would have me running circles around town in no time. Currently I can do about 4 miles before my feet start screaming at me. How the heck am I going to run 13 miles?? Well, I'm probably not going to run it. But even if I have to walk the whole way, and even if it takes me 8 hours, I am going to COMPLETE it!

On another upside- it FINALLY stopped snowing!! True, it rained all day today. But I will take 38-degree rainy weather over 10-degree snowy weather! And, May Crew started, which means that our grocery bill will go down significantly (as well as my dish duty, woo-hoo!).
