Long overdue..

I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't post until I could write something positive...Well, it's been a few weeks and I finally decided I was going to post anyway...afterall, this IS my life! No sense sugar coating anything! That being said...things haven't been terrible either. We are blessed and I see the Lord's hand in my life on a daily basis.

Back to school time is one of the hardest times for me. I watch as the other kids Ian's age head off to school and I can't help mourn for him and yes, even me. He's in fourth grade! I remember fourth grade vividly from my friends, to my boyfriend, to after school activities. There is none of that for him. He is struggling so far this year but we seem to make some progress each day. Both his MRI and EEG resulted in no further knowledge. I am now ready to embark on adjusting his diet to see if we can figure something out. Overall we are surviving and hopefully it will get better from here.

My marathon training...well...has really sucked. This is a huge issue for me. I have not done the work I need to do and I will suffer for it. Last year I was on track for a 4:30 hour marathon and this year I am hoping to finish in 6 hours. I hope I'm not in complete denial about it. I hope I really can do this! This summer has been so hard and I didn't want to think about it. It's a month away....it's coming wether I'm ready or not...

Owen starts preschool next week and I wish I could say that I get to enjoy a few hours to myself but I will still be doing daycare. I enjoy it for the most part and I have really good kids! (wish I could say that about the parents too! UGH!) Can you believe Owen is old enough for preschool? It's not fair. I guess I'll always be saying that though right? They do grow up so fast.

So that is it in a nutshell. Nothing fabulous. Just life. But, I'll take it.
