After the Thanksgiving turkey Pam ran for about 45 mins (4miles approx) followed that up with some running through the XMAS list by grabbing some Black Friday deals. Saturday was another 2.5-3miles on the treadmill and Sunday was an elongated 8mile long run (elongated because Santa was coming to town and was tying up all the main roads and had to find an alternate route.) Monday was an off day and Tuesday was another 3 miles.
There are some moments when raising your kids you stop and smile because they say or do something that shows you are doing right by them. Maggie asks why Molly doesnt talk as much as Jimmy (in all fairness nobody talks that much) to which Pam replies, "She just needs some more help which is why I take sign language lessons." Maggie responds with, "well then we should read my sign language book every night so I can help her too." Add that to the exercise in Maggie's pre-school where they were all printing out pictures of what they want Santa to bring them for Christmas (Catholic preschool so save the letters to the State Dept as Santa is still ok there.) All the kids were cutting out pictures of Dolls, Wii games and everything else that they wanted and Maggie had cut out pictures of finger puppets because, "I wanted to make sure Santa knew what Molly would like for Christmas." Of course all this was preceded by the time I had all 3 kids (a modern miracle I know) and were attempting to go to the bank in Downtown Wakefield. We're hobbling along in the crosswalk on Main Street when a car beeps their horn and not a split second later a sweet little Maggie replies with "JESUS CHR*** Lady what are you beeping at!" That last lesson brought to you by her 25% Italian genes.....
