Madison upgraded today!!!

Today, Madison had her weekly riding lessons. (They are usually Monday mornings, but this week they had to move to Thursday morning) Anyhow-- she has been riding Belle, a pony. But today, we upgraded (aka conquered her fear!!) to Kitty, a horse!!!

THREE CHEERS FOR MADI!! (and Kitty)

And a sweet thank you and goodbye (figuratively speaking) to Belle.

"If found on ground, please drag across finish line"

If the title doesn't explain, then let me clarify. I am OFFICIALLY registered for the 2009 Kansas City Gobbler Grind 1/2 Marathon!! OMG!! WHAT AM I THINKING?!

Ok- I am thinking that my cousin, Julie, wants a partner to join her on this run.
Also- I am thinking that I want to do more than a 10K before the year is out.
Finally- I can so do this!!

Back to reality---
First- I can so NOT do this!!
Second- What was I thinking?!
Third- Why didn't I get more training in?!
Fourth- I am going to die!
Fifth- I am SO NOT READY!
Sixth- "If found on ground, please drag across finish line" (this is a shirt I need to purchase to cover the fact that, I AM GOING TO DIE!
Seventh- **Taking deep breaths
Eight- ............


Ok, I do want to be in GREAT SHAPE for the 10 year class reunion this coming year. AND I DO want to be the type of mom that can wear this shirt "One Bad Mother Runner"
(COUGH COUGH...Shana... my fav sis-in-law) AND my softball girls are going to be needing me to be in tip-top shape to kick their young teenage tushes into gear!

But I am still lacking motivation somehow.

AWH!!!! I need a FREE personal trainer to kick my ass into gear. Someone to yell at me, and get me going!

Happy Halloween

Madi was Cinderella again this year, but Cason was our little Elephant! He even went trick or treating with Madi this year. It was adorable!!
