Running Through My Head

After having my kids in my car for over 4 hours this weekend, it is a bit … disgusting. I found pieces of quesadilla and a chunk of mushed (and then hardened) banana this morning. I really need to clean it, but that thought is almost as unappealing as the mess, especially since we would have to move the pop-up to pull my car into the garage.
Since June we have been away every other weekend except for once in July where we were gone for 2 weekends in a row and then home for two in a row. It is getting exhausting.
The kids have gymnastics (tumbling) tonight … I am curious to see how Ben does with the “sit still and mind.” Should be entertaining.
Speaking of Ben, he cried when I dropped him off at the sitter’s today for the first time. I don’t usually drop him off so there’s not a lot of chance for him to get all mopey, but it was still very sweet and quite guilt inducing.
I am woefully behind on many things like folding laundry, cleaning out closets, uploading photos, organizing papers. I’m having a hard time caring though because the days are short and the kids are cute.
Next week is Labor Day. Where.did.summer.go?
I am really loving Pinterest. Just wish I could Pin from Google Reader.
The peaches have been amazing this year and to cap off the peachy goodness we’re taking delivery of a 20# box sometime in early Sept. We buy these from a coworker’s kid’s school and they come directly from Colorado’s western slope (Palisade Peaches!) … undoubtedly we will eat at least half straight from the box, but we will also be making some Peach Crumb Bars (perhaps now my favorite dessert) and some Peach Preserves.
I have been having some good runs lately … feels like *knock on wood* the rust is coming off and I’m getting back into the groove. This is good. I’m running a 10 mile race on 9/5 and of course the half marathon on 10/9 and it would be pretty bad to go through those distances with the run/walk & puff method.
I think we’re going to try to have one last hurrah at the pool with some friends on Weds … or maybe one last after that this weekend. We’ve done way better with actually using the pool this summer than ever before. Helps that the kids are into it!
Our NYC trip is almost here. It seemed SO far away when we first made plans but it’s like 3 wks from tomorrow. Wow.
