Now that cross country is officially over for both kiddos, Dude has decided he wants to ride bike to school. I wrote about that in an earlier post. I kinda thought he might change his mind. Um - nope. On days when he doesn’t need to take his trumpet, he’s been on his bike - [...]

A Bug Up His Butt
Dude is active. He loves to be outside - like all the time. Rides bike. Hikes. Swims. Generally plays.
He is starting middle school in 3 weeks - ack and ACK! Last week, he informed me that he wanted to start running with me and Duma in the morning. I mentioned that would require him to [...]
The First 5K Down
We did it! The Boedie fam completed our first (and last?) 5K this past weekend. It was part of a fundraiser for the kids’ school, so we figured why not!
Princess was one of about a half dozen 2nd graders that did the whole 5K. Dude was one of a few 5th graders who did the [...]
What is 3.10685596?
3 miles + 564 feet + 2.4 inches
The distance in a 5K race.
The distance the Boedies will travel, by foot (some people call it running), on September 18th in a fundraiser for the kids’ school.
What the hell was I thinking registering for this?
I blame it on a brain fart after a long, busy day at work.
Or it [...]
Only Before 7:00 AM
As some of you may know, I was sans kids for an entire week - July 13-20th. It was a busy week with work and other stuff, but one thing I did get to do was get up in the morning and take Duma for a walk - I like doing it in the morning [...]
Oink! Oink!
The swine flu has finally found it’s way to my state. How do I know? Certainly not through the gatrillion mentions of this fact on the local news in the past 24 hours. Nope.
I know this because when I walked into Princess’ school the other day, there was a huge sign at the front desk [...]
Seasonal Allergies?
Who out there has allergies? I didn’t think I did, but I’m starting to wonder if I haven’t, somehow at the age of 36, developed some seasonal allergies.
I got a nasty cold a couple weeks ago - nasty sinus, chest, cough, throat, fever, etc. Definitely a nasty cold. Then last weekend, I started getting stuffy [...]
I’m Ditching The Gym on Friday
In another life, like just last year, I would have been lying on the couch immobile after the week I’ve had. But this year, I feel GREAT! I owe it all to the family taking up snowboarding with a vengeance this winter
In the past week I:
Spent Saturday and Sunday in the mountains for a [...]
Day 3 of Lent
It’s the start of Day 3 of Lent. I’m a recovering Catholic . . . in my previous life I was an E and C Catholic. I do, however, still observe Lent, more for my own personal reasons than for any specific religious belief. This year, I decided once again to give up sugar. In past [...]
‘Tis The Season
Let the GAMES begin! I must say that my family has been very lucky the past 18 months . . . not really an illness to speak of - not even a sniffle.
Alas, today, Princess changed all that. She had a fever when she came home from school yesterday - 101. She acted fine. You’d [...]
