A long time

It has been a long time since I wrote on my blog. I cant believe Thanksgiving and Christmas have past.. where does time go.. seriously!

Thanksgiving was wonderful. My parents, sister and her family went down to North Carolina to spend Thanksgiving with my sister Beth. I decided not to go because I couldnt get off work and because I was just down there in September.. things cost money.. I know.. who knew. Thanksgiving eve we spent the evening with Bravo. We ate at Pizza Man, watched movies and just hung out. Hunter loved it because he got to stay up late! Thanksgiving day we spent the day with my friend Rachel and her family. Her mom is an amazing cook.. I think I gained 10 pounds that day! Friday I had ppl come over to the house.. I made a turkey, potatoes, corn and something else.. cant remember. I think it turned out to be a nice day. Saturday and Sunday.. I think was a typical weekend. I cant really remember since I have slept since then.

I finished the half marathon a half hour faster than I thought. It was an amazing weekend in Memphis and I am looking forward to Memphis 2010 trip/half. We are going to do another. I really enjoyed myself and it was a great feeling of accomplishment. I didnt do the race for time so please dont ask me anything about time. I have made this to be an accomplishment thing for myself to finish each time regardless of how long it takes me. Im a jogger. Thats it. I have really enjoyed learning what my body can handle and what I just dont want to handle. My pace is perfect for me and perfect for my body. I can honestly say I have come to really enjoy running. I am looking forward to more jogs in the future. Through all of this I have stumbled across a friend I have known for years but never realized how much we have in common. Now we jog together, share stories, and spend girl time together with our kids. I have officially made a new friend. She, like many of my other friends, has captured a place in my heart and I will be behind her no matter what. To all of my friends out there.. you are loved by me and I cherish the moments we have together. Having girlfriends and guyfriends is such an important piece in my life that I wont ever lose sight of them again!

I reached my goal of losing 20 pounds before 2010.. but I am sure I gained some over the holidays.

My van has been having lots of problems lately but it will have to last me until I can afford something else.

I am switching Hunter's school. I will have to blog about that some time when I have all of the papers near so that I can get your take on it. But long story short.. I couldnt take the negative impact my son was receiving. I couldnt take hearing one more time.. Mommy, am I a bad boy? Mommy, did I get a bad note saying I was bad. Maybe I am bias but I have heard from various ppl that my son couldnt be having the problems he is having without something else happening because he doesnt act the way they describe with anyone else. I truly cant imagine what was/is happening at his school to make him act so out of character. So.. like I said.. we will get into that later. He will start his new preschool on Wednesday and his daycare next monday. For security reasons I wont tell you where he is going. You can email me individually if you would like. Im excited about this switch and hoping I am doing the right thing.

Christmas was wonderful.. what made it so wonderful even though my son was with his father for Chirstmas.. well I will tell you... he wanted to come home early.. and so he did. He is my baby. He may drive me crazy or like he use to say.. you - make - a - my - crazy - mama but I wouldnt trade him for anything. :)
Santa was good to him this Christmas! Thank you Santa!

Well I think that literally sums up what has been happening. Shortened version of course.

Happy 2010.
