I had a tiny baby boy. Then a toddler. Shortly thereafter he started preschool, then kindergarten. I turn around, and now he is graduating 5th grade. He will start Jr. high school on August 2nd. He will no longer be in the same building as his brothers. A piece of my heart will be in the 6th grade.

Apathy
Y'all I got a case of the apathies. And yes, that is now a real word. To be more frank, darling I don't give a damn. That's right. Strangely, and thankfully, it only extends to school. I could care less that my alarm goes off and I should get up and get ready for school. I could care less that testing is over today. I could care less that I am taking 22 3rd graders to Beech Bend tomorrow. I. could. care. less. people. I am so over this thing called school year 2011-2012.
Give me a couple months off to sit by a pool, soak up some sun...be with my family...travel out west...sleep...run...relax...and I PROMISE, I'll come back 100% refreshed and recharged! But until that happens, the apathies are taking over.

State Testing = Torture
Yes, that is a self-portrait...how did you know?
We just finished day 2 of testing. And. I. want. to. jump. off. a. bridge. into. oncoming. traffic. NO JOKE! Y'all it's rough. Obviously idiots came up with the whole state testing idea. Obviously.
It is also very clear that I am dramatic. This is the pic I sent my hubby of me on day 1. You should have seen the kids...hardee har har!
In other news- I am trying to figure out how to up my mileage to 30 miles a week. I'd really like to get in 5 & 6 mile runs during the week, but the whole "job" thing is getting in the way. I'm hoping with summer right around the corner, I can make that dream a reality. I know you all are super concerned about that.
Also, here's a bunch of random stuff that I think you should know...
1. Alex's b-day party is Saturday. Nothing is done for it. I have only bought the cake mix and frosting.
2. My bank account is sad :-(.
3. Summer is RIIIIIIGHT around the corner.
4. Our vacation is RIIIIGHT around the corner.
5. Testing sucks.
6. I would like to move.
7. I would also like a new wardrobe.
9. Waking up at 5:00 am is getting OOOOOLLLLLDDDD.
10. I don't really have anything else, but I had to end on an even number :-)
Tomorrow is FRIDAY! TGIF y'all!!!!

The Flying Pig 10K
NO | FN | LN | DIVISION | OVERALL | DIVPL | SEXPL | TIME | PACE | |||
26665 | Jennifer | Johnson | F 30-34 | 276 | 15/292 | 80/1719 | 53:41 | 8:40 |
Can you make any sense of that mumbo jumbo? Well, it's the results for my very first 10K race (yes, I have ran a half marathon and not a 10K-until Saturday that is!)!!! Let me break it down for you- out of 2,598 people I came in 276th place. There were 292 people in my age division (30-34) and I came in 15th. There were 1,719 females and I came in 80th. My overall pace was 8:40 with a finishing time of 53:41.
Now, I beg to differ with their timing system. My Nike app had me at an 8:06 pace with a 51:06 finish time. It also had the course being 6.6 miles instead of 6.2.
Regardless, I am happy with those results!!! It was a fun weekend spent with my brother and sister in law. Wish we would've had more time, and a few more pics. Enjoy!
