Time versus Distance

Myself- Things are ok. Health is always an inconsistent part of my life which I would prefer to idolize. I think things will settle down a bit, and BAM* I am hit and starting all over again. Running is going very well. Up until now I have been Running for 2 mins. at 5.7 mph and resting for 2 mins. at 3.7 mph. I would do this for 20 mins. and cool down with a 5 minute brisk walk. Well, late last week it hit me that I wasn't paying attention too much to my distance, just my time. So this evening I decided to change things up a bit and run as long as I can at a steady pace and work at distance and pacing myself. I was able to run for half a mile without stopping or slowing. I think it would have gone better if I had not seen an old friend and chatted for half the time I usually spend running. So now my goal is to up my distance- and not to look at the distance during the run!
I am feeling the pressure to move out. I want to move out on our own and be the wife and mother I have been craving to be for a while now. So prayers for all of us would be much appreciated!
Looking for a job! I finally got my diploma in the mail a while ago, and now I am working towards stepping up my game and improving my skills, more like starting over again since I haven't interpreted in a professional manner in a long while! So, I pray things will pick up in that area. As well as, I had an interview last week for child care. I would like to earn as much money as possible in order to pay off/down some debt, work towards two reliable cars and keeping up with our growing family!!
Kids- wow! This week starts the first week of the new quarter classes at the YMCA and are involved in Gymnastics and Swimming together. They are in separate class names, but classes that are combined- do to age and skill- which is awesome because this saves me time- both kids, same class, same times! The kids are doing excellent in school. Grace is really picking up words and learning that written words put together on paper eventually mean something all together!! So cute. She loves to write! Noah is improving on his letters and recognition.
Trick or Treat?!- Grace was Tinkerbell- no surprise there, and Noah was a crocodile, or maybe it was a dinosaur- it was hard to tell. But they enjoyed it. They were going strong for 50 mins. The 50-60 mins. in to Noah became crabby and once we passed Nana and Papa's house Grace asked to go home as well. They were pooped, but it was a blast and I enjoy the kids and the making memories! I will be posting pics soon of Trick or Treat and Carving Pumpkins! =D
- Right now I am still in much debate about home- school or keeping the kids in their school now. But tuition is expensive! Times two.... Phew! So, we'll see.
JC- life is a whirlwind! JC works all the time and nonstop. He doesn't get to see the kids as often as he, or the kids, would like, and he drives a good distance. So... Things are just going there. Although, we all miss him and enjoy when he is home and attentive to the kids- and not to work .
We are growing as a family... and the biggest news of this month is that Aunt Ashley and Uncle Jimmy are giving Cousin Connor a sibling! WOO... who happens to be due around my birthday! =D Blessings, Blessings all around!
