bad news

Well, it looks like I have 2 broken toes. I'm not completely sure, but I can barely walk on my right foot and it hurts to bend my toes.
The boys were playing in the new shed and I was standing on the ground. Collin picked up a floor jack and was obviously too heavy for him to pick up. He immediately dropped it on my foot--probably about a foot drop from the shed floor to the ground where I was standing. It's my two little toes--the fourth one is turning black. I just got off the phone...
Race Report
Sunday, May 18th 2008
Race time according to my HRM: 1:22:26. I burned 926 calories! I don't think I've ever burned that many calories before that I know of.As I said in my last post, I was so nervous and my husband was stressed out because he was moving a shed over in our backyard since we are getting a new storage building tomorrow. This was a huge project--big pain in the butt. He did not appreciate me going off to my race in the middle of that day. But I've had this planned for weeks and he knew it.

I don't know if I've ever blogged so little in a month. My goodness, it's been hard to get on lately. And usually if I don't update my own blog, I at least read other people's and comment, but I haven't even been able to do that.Things should slow down pretty soon as Collin is done with school and I'm cutting back on activities.

I've made a difficult fitness decision today. Collin's last day of school is tomorrow. I've been thinking about this summer alot and what I want to do. And, especially since I am working a little in the fall, I just want to be home with my kids. I want to go swimming, play in the back yard, go to the park, and stuff like that.I was planning on continuing my bootcamp class which is on Mondays and Fridays. And then I'd really like to put the boys in a gymnastics class at the Y on Wednesda...

I have not been in the mood to update my blog the last few nights. I think it's because I felt so disappointed that my last entry was lost after I'd written so much. I just didn't feel like writing it all over again. (I know this has happened to everyone probably once so you know what you mean).And I've had so much going on that it's daunting to write it all.
Well I'll start with yesterday. I had a nice Mother's Day. We went to Silver Dollar City with my in-laws. We have tried to ...
