It’s a New Year and there’s so much to look forward to. I’m taking it one day at a time. I feel like our school days just fly by. My two older kids continue to attend school, in person and online. Seamus and myself are teaching at school, in person, four days a week and one day, online. It’s a busy schedule that we finally have adjusted to. Until next year, we continue this schedule and hope for attending school full time, in person, in the fall.
My two younger kids are getting so big and I continue to remind myself that these growing moments just can’t be forgotten. My son, Teague, is a determined, big, three year old who enjoys learning about everything and my youngest, Torin, is just crazy! I guess... he takes after his mom. He’s one that loves to get into everything and struggles being told, “No.” Even though, he’s tough to handle at times, he’s still the cuddly little guy that knows how to get our attention.
These days, I’ve spent my early mornings running inside. I don’t enjoy running in the dark and I hate cold weather. Unlike most people, I enjoy running on a treadmill. In between having four kids, I learned to love it. It’s just convenient and what works with my “family time” schedule. I’m currently running on my fourth treadmill and have spent many miles training on one. I can’t forget running twenty miles on my second treadmill during my Boston Marathon days. It was a great mental challenge as I faced a brick wall.
However, I’m ready for a change. As the weather gets warmer, I’m getting anxious to start running outdoors and working on my yard. Seamus and kids are ready for some good weather, too. Soon, farm work will start and that’s always something to look forward to.
