Day 65

The hubby had a safety meeting in Odessa this morning, so I thought I was going to just sleep in. But, Doodle Bug (my son) woke up before he left, so he went along for the ride this morning. We were running about 20 minutes later than usual, but this morning we didn’t need to hurry home. The girls skated again and I kept up with a fast walk and a slow jog over 3 miles. My son loved the flashy blinky lights that we have to wear on our arms because of the darkness. SEE!


I didn’t have ANY problems with him in the stroller this morning – no bouncing, jumping or getting in and out. And guess what? No, I didn’t run the entire 3 miles like everyone knows I can’t do – there was no YELLING this morning! There was a welcomed slight breeze and the first 2 miles brought a lot of “shooting stars”! I know that technically it is the meteor show that we are actually seeing, but it was very nice. As we progressed through the third mile, we watched the sun come up. It was a good workout and a beautiful calming morning.



Until we got home…



Kiki came running into my room with her lizard (Lizzy) in her hand – crying! She said she found her on her back and she wouldn’t move! I can honestly say, I don’t know what happened – Kiki took very good care of her and even carried her around on her shirt – ALL THE TIME! She was BAWLING! I told her that we would go bury her outside and have a small funeral…I went to put on some clothes and this is how I found her digging the grave.





Dare I admit that this is my neighbors yard area...shhhh.

My heart sank! I felt so bad for her. This is ALSO the reason that I didn’t want her to get the lizard to begin with, because we have done this with fish and turtles already! Anyway, we said a little a prayer and Lizzy was laid to rest and her spirit was sent on to dwell in the wondrous magical reptile world.




I love you Kiki!
