I am wonderful!

I ran my first 5K race today.  There will be no photos; it wasn't pretty.  My time was 38:31 and I think I was the last 5K runner to cross the finish line.  Okay, maybe a couple of really overweight ladies were behind me too.  But I didn't let any of the walkers beat me.  And I fulfilled a goal that I set at the beginning of the year.  Tom and the kids were there to watch and cheer me across the finish line.  (Megan says it was truly boring; they couldn't even see the runners.)  I found out that it is possible for me to bawl while running.  Tomorrow I may not be able to walk.  But today I am awesome!

Humpty Dumpty Day


The kindergarteners are studying nursery rhymes, so today was Humpty Dumpty day.  The kids brought a raw egg from home, packaged up in a way they hoped would cushion it from a fall.  Then the custodian took them up on the roof and threw them off.  It was great fun.  Danny cushioned his with cotton and popcorn, and it survived!
