I need more hours in a day

Work is extremely busy and of course in my spare time I am chasing around a 7 month old. I wish I could say we've been off doing exciting things but unfortunately both Marsh and I are too swamped with work. Our weekends consist of running errands we can't get done during the week and I can proudly say that we've been attending church regularly for the past 3 months. I am so looking forward to a 3 day weekend for the July 4th holiday. We're not going anywhere; but we'll have a day to relax I hope.

Been dealing with a nagging heal injury since the 1/2 marathon so my long runs have suffered. I was so hoping to maintain one so I wouldn't have to re-train...it's been hard these past few weeks to squeeze in exercise at all but I do it faithfully anyway. My runs right now are just 3-5 miles at a time but I am trying to insert some interval training to liven it up a bit. I haven't had a golf lesson in 3 months - I've got 4 left on my gift certificate. I know Marsh is disappointed but I just can't make it all work right now.

Hadley is doing well - growing and changing by the day - and she is very close to crawling. That will add a whole new dimension to my days:) We'll be using lots of baby gates, that's for sure. I have to find the time to search for some full time help...maybe I can conduct interviews at midnight? Oh well, we'll just keep on keeping on for now.

There is no joy on North Avenue

The Jackets struck out. Again.

Will Tech ever catch a break again??

We haven't beat UGA in football in 6 years, our basketball team can't even play its way into the NIT, our favorite "son" lil Joe gets arrested ON CAMPUS (thanks campus police!) and a talented young pitcher dies from a herion overdose. COME ON ALREADY! So now it's college baseball post-season time and once again our Jackets are in a regional. Of course they don't get to host one; they are in Athens so that the pundits can get their UGA-Tech matchup. Well, they got it and as of right now(8:25pm on Sunday 6/1, Tech is getting drilled 8-0). Oh no worries, we get a chance at redemption (and entry into the Super Regional) tomorrow night. In Athens. Against UGA again. Please, give the Institute a BREAK. And a Victory! GO JACKETS!

On a much lighter note, here is my bathing beauty making her first trip to the neighborhood pool (where the water is like ice unfortunately). This weekend we are going to a friend's house at Lake Oconee and their pool is heated, so we'll see if we can get more than our feet wet!

Hadley Update

Hadley's checkup went very well; she was so brave during her shots and only cried for a minute. Now she has her cool sparkly band-aids to show off...they need to make fun band-aids for adults! Hadley weighs 16 lbs and is 26 3/4 inches long and we get to add "lunch" to our solid food meals! I am also going to start the weaning process, although I am a little sad about it. Since it's a "process" I know I have a little more time...but at some point I have to travel for work again so we need to get the ball rolling. It's been a wonderful experience!!

Staying Busy

Hope everyone had a nice Mother's Day weekend! We made a trip to Augusta to see Marsh's family and Hadley was an awesome traveler. Although things will be even easier once she gets the hang of (or rather accepts!) a sippy cup. I haven't talked about the bottle lately...that's because we gave up on it a long time ago! This week Hadley goes to the Dr for her 6 month check-up and I am very excited to find out how much she has grown. I feel like she has really changed over the last few weeks. Sitting up is next on her list I think...she is getting very close. This is all happening way too fast!!!

TEETH!

I swear they popped up during Hadley's morning nap because when she woke up and smiled at me I freaked out. What's in your mouth child? Oh my goodness!!! How long until I get bit?! :)

Guitar hero I am not!

But it's fun trying...here I am trying desperately to get through an "easy" song without getting booed off by the Wii people. Watch out Slash...well, watch out if I ever get past Welcome to the Jungle in one take. We don't get much time to play the Wii but it is entertaining. And good exercise! I am sure Hadley will have it mastered by age 2. Amazing how kids pick up this stuff. I miss Atari! LOL.
