Dear James, Daniel and Emily,
Project
Made great progress on the living room last night, got about halfway done on the laminate flooring. Hoping to get that part finished tonight, but that is dependent on Kim's energy level. We want to avoid her crashing from overwork & her normal schedule.
Running
Did my walk/run this morning, felt it some, so eased off from the run, not as long intervals. Wanted to avoid overdoing it early in the week, I want to make sure I get in a full week. Didn't expect I would ever have to force myself to not train so hard.
Family
The whole family is ready for the upcoming vacation week. James didn't want to go to the B&G club today, since they were going to the zoo and he just went last week. At least that was his story, I think the real reason is he has had a hard time making friends there this summer because he hasn't spent as much time there due to our inspired plan to give him variety. And without a good buddy to look forward to he isn't all that enthused to go. That and I think he is craving some more time with the family, we have all been so busy (partly with his baseball team) that he is maybe not feeling like he has had a real vacation.
I am looking forward to imposing some more consistent guidelines for the kids after the vacation. Things like bedtimes, video game time, etc. We agreed to return to that after the trip. Among those things is finding a way to get Emily into an earlier bedtime, she has been staying up later and later, but is not much fun to be around for the last hour or so so it is clear she needs to just be in bed, but her routine is so off that she seems to feel that she has to stay up.
