Birthday parties and grumpy pants

So, picking up where we left off...

Matt and I headed into town Friday afternoon around 2ish, made a pit stop at ColdStone for some ice ceram, then headed over to mom and dads for papas famous smoked BBQ pizza. Yum.



Saturday morning started off way too early, thanks to Matt and dad making a tee time for 7:20 am- so dumb. Meg let Macie back inside so she came running back in the room and wouldn't let me get back to sleep, so I was up at 6:50 on a Saturday. Anyway, Meg and McKenzie got up at 8ish and we got ready to go to the lake for a bit with mom. We drove 35+ minutes to get there and only managed to stay for about 1.5 hours...but we had to get back so sister could buy stuff for McKenzie's birthday party.



After running around Augusta we got back home and I took Macie for a sweaty 30 minute walk- she reallllly wanted to quit after 10 minutes, but we pushed through. McKenzie and I gave ourselves manicures (with Matt's assistance) then we headed over to Jimi and Christopher's for game night and had a blast eating pizza and ice cream, watching the Braves win their 9th straight, and playing Just Dance. Christopher, dad, and Matt all refused to show us their moves, so it was mainly me, Meg, Riley, and Jimi busting up the dance floor. I didn't win much.



Sunday we were up at 7ish so I could go for a quick run and so Matt could have a little training session with Macie. I did 4 miles at the creek trails and thought I was going to die- it's all rolling hills back there. We went to church, grabbed some lunch, then got everything ready for the big birthday party. Guests started arriving at 3ish and they had a blast playing in the pool and running through the slip-n-slide.





All in all it was a great, fast weekend.
I woke up Monday with some serious grumpy pants on and didn't shake out of my bad mood until after lunch. I tried to work alone as much as possible so I wouldn't pass my mood on to anyone else!

This morning I had a terrible, terrible 3 mile run and wanted to walk from the beginning. I ran slow and it was painful..not sure if it's because I need new shoes, if I'm still recovering from my long run Friday, or if it was because of the hills yesterday. My knees are sore and I'm hoping a good nights sleep will cure me- I have a date in the morning with the treadmill for a 7 miler!

And look at these kiddos starting school!
