Yesterday was wednesday and Kaleb and Kayden have karate.  We were out doing yard work so the boys could earn extra money to go to karate camps.  I went inside to get their uniforms ready and they were dirty.  I put them in the wash on the quick cycle.  They got their shirts and jackets on and we were waiting for their pants to finish washing.  When they finished we jumped in the car and I hooked them to the window so they would blow as we drove and hopefully dry.  On the way to karate lots of people were staring and wondering why we had pants hanging out our window.  The boys were laughing so hard.  We pulled up the karate and got the pants out and they were still damp.  The boys put them on.  Kaleb did not want to go inside because he was so embarrassed, but Kayden was ready to go.  Kayden could care less what people think of him.  Well we ended up turning around and going home.  They will do a makeup class on monday.  Well we tried to be efficient and get it all done, but it did not work out.  I almost made Kaleb go in, but remembered how I felt when I was young and got embarrassed.  Sometimes it's not worth all the craziness, but I am sure they will remember this driving experience for the rest of their lives.
I have been running this week.  I have gotten up at 5:45 to go on tuesday and thursday.  I thought I was going to die, but I am making it.  I run with 2 friends and we run 3 miles.  I am wicked sore, but I think I might get in shape after all.  When I was in Utah Kim went with me to try on a swimsuit.  I got the kind with the little skirt.  When I tired it on she said I should get the regular bottoms.  I lifted up the back to show my legs and butt.  She said, "  the skirt looks cute."  I have to realize that I am getting older and everything is heading south.
