One week till race day and I am taking this week seriously! I so badly want to beat my previous time that I have a plan of attack involving lots of water (drinking), stretching and warming up, and running my longest route 3 times this week. I would say no chocolate too, but I have to buy all the fundraiser ones from Jess’s playschool, so there goes that idea!
I was offered 8 hours a week working at the hospital, but due to circumstances beyond my control I have had to decline the offer. Crazy hey! Only 8 hours and yet such a trauma to be able to arrange my life around. All the factors involved here are doing my head in, and in the long run it will be best to hang off until the end of the year. I’m bummed about it, but what can a girl do!
This week Holly was honoured by receiving her SRC badge at the school assembly and I was able to pin it on her. I was so proud. Then, unexpectedly, Meg received a Principals award for “Great Colouring in”. Kate was up from Melbourne for the weekend and was able to see the girls get their things and bask in a bit of Auntie glory!
Jess is coping quite well with her new Playschool commitments. She is very tired at the end of the day and yesterday she fell asleep in the car (5pm) I put her into bed and she woke at 6am this morning. Amy is teething, she has a cold and is possibly the grumpiest baby in Canberra at the moment. She is driving us all nuts. I was rubbing her tummy to settle her down last night (2am) and I was freezing so wanted to get back into bed. I stopped the rubbing to see if she would stir but all I got was a swift swat to indicated “Don’t stop the rubbing”. She is quite a character and loves hanging out with the girls and doing whatever they are doing. She loves shoes too. She even says “Shoes” and does a little tap dance when they are on. I have 2 pairs of Holly’s first shoes that fit her perfectly – black patent buckle ups and pink boots. Awesome!
Holly has a friend over today so we are heading out for a picnic lunch and then a wander around a national attraction, probably the museum or war memorial.
A busy week ahead. Hope it is a good one for everyone 🙂
