I’m back! Thanks for your kind emails and comments about my triathlon race. It was fun to hear from those of you and I was happy to hear that there are a lot of you with races of your own! It was a fun challenge and I am already planning my next one. I learned a lot and hope to be able to improve on some things next time.

Then some of our extended family and the kids cousins spent a great week enjoying ourselves in the warm sunshine on a much needed vacation. Our husbands came home earlier in the week and my sisters and I stayed a few days longer with the kids. We had so much fun…but now I am standing in the midst of a mountain of laundry and vacation withdrawl.

P.S. I am beginning to get a bit paranoid when I am out and about. I have had a few “run ins” with my blog readers and it has been a lot of fun…although I must admit a bit strange, but a good strange. So if you see me, please come up and say “hi”! I am not a super out-going person myself but I would love to meet you.

I think I catch people staring at me like they know me and the kids and then they turn away and do NOT say anything. It has happened a couple of times now and I am starting to feel a bit paranoid. Do they recognize me from the blog? Am I just imaging that they are staring at me when in reality they aren’t? Do I look funny? Is there something wrong with my kids or my hair? So…help me not feel so paranoid…I would love for you to say “hi”…I am beginning to get a complex :)!

Winner and The Race

I hope all of you had a great Easter holiday with family and friends!

I had my race this past Saturday and am glad it is finally over. My brother, his girlfriend and my sister and I did a beginner triathlon (200 M swim, 5 mile bike, 1.5 mile run). It was actually a lot of fun, despite how hard it was. (I am number #826). This picture was just taken just after crossing the finish line.

I had to learn how to swim (a stroke other than a “dog paddle”) and ride a road bike, but we really enjoyed it. Might have to do another one at the end of the summer. Anyways, just thought I would let you know what has been keeping me so busy lately.
