P365 - 2016 - Day 14 - not tonight

The time has come...the winter break is ending for My Wonderful Husband.  The Spring semester begins next week and he needs to be at a faculty meeting tomorrow.  The plan was to leave tonight so he was packed and ready to go when he decided that he would just make the trip in a day tomorrow.  It may have only been a few hours but he wasn't ready to end his break just yet and I was happy to have him home for the night.  The semester will start soon enough... but not tonight.

P365 - 2016 - Day 13 - Another day

P365  - 2016 - Day 13 - Another day

Another day, another night time run...  these running shoes are racking up the miles in my 1000 mile challenge.  I am so glad I decided to train for the NJ Marathon because it is pushing me to keep running this winter.  Cold, dark runs are the only way right now but I am getting it done.

P365 - 2016 - Day 12 - study

P365 - 2016 - Day 12 - study

After a day of work, I came home, went for a run, showered and finally put my jammies on and sat down.  From my comfy spot, I was able to help The Boy study for his upcoming science test.

P365 - 2016 - Day 11 - elbow

P365 - 2016 - Day 11 - elbow

The Boy slammed his elbow on the gym floor tonight during basketball practice.  I think it is ok...just bruised and I am sure it hurt, but I think that is it... I hope.  So what to do when you still have homework to do and you have a sore elbow on your right arm?  While he was icing it, I helped him write out his science study guide answers as he dictated them.  But once he was done icing it, he decided he could write on his own with a "cushion".  Good plan and homework is done.

P365 - 2016 - Day 10 - Sunday nights...

P365 - 2016 - Day 10 - Sunday nights...

Yesterday was basketball and soccer games and this morning all three kids asked to go to open gym at St. Francis... When they got back, My Wonderful Husband and I had a little time to go out shoppig together - something that very rarely happens and it was really nice.  (it really is the small things sometimes)  Then after a Sunday dinner of tacos, it was time to sit down to some grading and planning for the coming week.  It was dueling "school work" since My Wonderful Husband is nearing the end of his winter break and he is getting ready for the Spring semester.  It reminded me of Sunday nights years ago.....

P365 - 2016 - Day 9 - Rumble, Rumble, Storm!

P365 - 2016 - Day 9 - Rumble, Rumble, Storm!

In the past year, The Princess has been a part of three different travel soccer teams.  After joining the SSC Lady Gunners, the team split up as the girls began middle school so she found a new team with the TRFC Lady Gunners.  Unfortunately, after a season there, we felt it wasn't the right fit for her.  At the end of the fall season, she tried out for and made the Twin County Storm team and she made the move to her new (and hopefully last) team.  She had the opportunity to guest play with the team a few times before committing and afterward she was ready to join.  Since then, they have begun the winter season and had several practices and a few games under their belt already.  They are a talented bunch of girls and it has been some pretty soccer to watch.  The Princess seems happy with her decision and we hope to have a found her a home with the Storm.  As the girls say before their games... Rumble, Rumble, Storm!

After two weeks off, we were back to basketball at St. Francis.  The Boy is on Jayson's Pancake House (the defending champs and his brother and sister's team from last year).  He had an awesome game - his team won and he scored 14 points!
