WHATCHA DOIN' NOW THAT SCHOOL'S OUT?

My kids and I had a great last day. If the public school kids have a party then, heck, we're having a party. We did things like a standing broad jump, a bike obstacle course and dodgeball. I asked them questions during a kind of Homeschool Jeopardy and we ate lots of candy. Later we all went to the local YMCA and swam in the pool.

So what am I doing with myself? I don't know yet. I have a lot of ideas swirling around in my brain but haven't put them on paper yet. A lot of the ideas have to do with organizing, cleaning and planning. I don't know if I'm up to that yet. I think I need to give myself a little break. One of the major things coming up is helping my in-laws move in to their new apartment. They will be moving from Indiana to suburban Atlanta next month and we're really excited. Other than that, we don't have any major plans.

One thing I know I'll be doing is running. In fact, tomorrow I'll be running a race called the Celebrate America 5K/10K. I'll be doing the 5K. I haven't ruled out a 10K in the future. I have a friend who got into the Peachtree Road Race (famous Atlanta race on July 4th which accomodates over 50,000 runners), but she told me the other day that she might not run it. She said she'd give me her number if that happened. My running partner is running the Peachtree and so maybe I'll get a chance too. I'll keep you posted.
