Life as a single mom

So these last 3 1/2 months without Brandon being around much have been busy and difficult. I can't believe how big of a mess my house is, and it seems I can barely keep up with everything sometimes. However, I have been informed by this strange man who hangs around our house every now and then (I think he may or may not be my husband) that he has finals this week and then I will have him back for a wonderful two weeks before he'll disappear for the summer semester. Having to actually find a way to make it financially in this world bites.

My endeavour to become more of a runner isn't going very well. My hip joints ache, I have shin splints, and there's a large bruise under my left big toenail. I really hope it doesn't fall off. (Oh how I wish I was just exaggerating to be funny.) Its discouraging. I keep wondering if maybe I'm not meant to be a runner, but then I remember that I've only been trying for less than a week and I have to remind myself to think realistically. I've been reading the most hysterical book about training for a marathon. Not that I'm training for marathon, I just wanted some humorous tips about running for beginners, and boy does this book offer them. If ever you're looking into training for a marathon, or just wanting to start running, I highly recommend this book. The woman who wrote it truly understands me.

So due to Brandon being completely consumed with studying for finals, we've really had nothing going on to speak of. But I do have a couple of cute new pictures of Nathaniel. Enjoy!





He's my sweet little blue eyes.
