No, definitely not kicking. I've got my legs propped up on the couch with a cozy throw blanket keeping my feet warm and the two extra strength Tylenol should be taking effect any minute now. I'm normally an anti-medicine kind of girl but I don't remember the last time my legs ached like this.

What a day.
I didn't run 4 miles, but I did walk 24 Kinders to Albertson's and back. (2.3 miles)
Get some rest and have a good lunch.
Wow! What a busy day you had. You impress me that knowing you had all that work, you still got up at 6:00 a.m and ran 4 miles. I would have justified my day and got another hour of sleep. You've always been a super hard worker and your example will definitely be impressed in the minds of your children. Hope you have a more relaxing day today. Have a fun lunch!
What a day! You definitely need a day off; just reading about your long day makes me tired. Wish I could join you for lunch (it's the Mother's Day Tea today)... it seems like so long since we've chatted. Enjoy!
That made me tired to read. I can't imagine substitute teaching. Just being in there an hour WITH the teacher wears me out. You're a star. Now, rest up!
You've always been SuperWoman- you are just taking it to a new level now! Hope you have a fun lunch with your friends today :)
Wow, is all I can say. You are a very busy woman.
We missed you at lunch Friday!
How often do you have days like this? Wow, it's no wonder your legs are tired. Treat yourself to a great pair of shoes! I've had lots of catching up to do on your blog. I haven't had much time for blogging at all lately. I'm totally surprised you heard about our move from your mom through MaryAnn... Rudy's mom, right? Interesting how the word gets around. I did blog a little bit about it. We did finally get our lease agreement with the house we want so we're all set for the next few years. I'm relieved. I'm not looking forward to starting our 3-ring circus all over again... getting all new teachers, doctors, therapists, etc..., for Aaron. We're going to fax off his IEP with our proof of residency this week. It's been really neat to see Caleb's talents and growth shine through on your blogs.
Yeowsers, too bad lunch the next day didn't go as planned. :) It's not everyday that you get a call like mine... I THINK I might be in labor?! THANKS again!!
Wow! That was quite a day. How often do you sub? Have you been teaching gymnastics for a while? I need to pick up the phone and call you so we can catch up.
That was quite a day. Hopefully by now you have a nice routine going. Hang in there!
