I'm pretty much the worst at blogging

I guess this is turning into a once a month kind of activity for me. Whoops. 

Life is crazytown here. Dale's been working a ton, I've been working a ton and this home addition cannot get done fast enough. Add in Cub Scouts, wrestling and dance and there's just officially no time for anything extra. Erg. 

And to top it all off, my house is a great big mess. 

To do the addition, we took out all bedrooms on the main level. One of them got a closet and window removed. The other bedroom is now a bathroom/closet. We added on 2 bedrooms. This idea is great. However, it's hard to put anything away when you don't have bedrooms. Our dressers and king sized mattress reside in the dining room. The base for the mattress lives beside my computer desk. All of our clothes are the couch or the pool table downstairs and the rest of our stuff is pretty much randomly everywhere. 

To add to the mess, we decided to do all the painting in the addition ourselves, so every night I have a pile of painting supplies to wash out in the bathroom, then they dry on the floor. It's ridiculous really. We'd be done by now if I wasn't Miss Gotta Be Original and paint freaking bright colors and stripes in the kids rooms. A normal person would just do a neutral everywhere, but NO, not me. I kill myself sometimes. 

Who needs professionals?

In other news, Miles is 13 days away from turning the big one. Yeah, blows my mind too. Talk about a year flying by. He's a walking, talking guy. Well, walking for sure. Talking is still limited to the mama, dada, and something that sounds kind of like Koda. One day I swear he said cracker too. He's as adorable as ever though. Look at this booger :) 

All smiles. Always. 

As for me, half marathon training isn't going so great. That freezing freaking cold weather put a big ol' damper on running in the outdoors. I think so far I've ran 3 times. The furthest I've gone was 2.15 miles (today actually) and I had to run into some 25mph winds that pretty much killed me. The only thing I have going for me is I'm lighter weight than I was last year, so in my head running should be easier. We'll see how far that theory takes me in May when I attempt another 13.1. 


Welp, until next time, or month if I keep up my normal rate of blogging ...
