You know what they say about riding bikes: once you learn you can ride one for life. It is my personal goal in this blog to denounce that theory! NOT TRUE FOLKS! I proved it yesterday when I went for ride with my son and totally BIFFED it! As my son pointed out, though, at least I didn't bonk my head (I wasn't wearing a helmet).
My Five:
1. Not only did I not bonk my head, I didn't land on my formally broken ankle.
2. I got to spend time with my kids and husband yesterday - I had half a day off!
3. I can sort of get gossip from facebook. Not that I'm a gossiper silly, but I can get to kind of know the people that I secretly admire.
4. I have a personal trainer for a neighbor. We have a meeting on Saturday.
5. Watching Forever Strong as a family last night. Good movie.

Notes
With school on my mind, I'm getting really good at taking notes. Here are a few from the last few days:
One of my kids likes brussels sprouts. Of course, cover ANYTHING with alfredo sauce and it's good, right?
This weekend I get to write a 5 page summary paper on a four page article. Go figure.
My bro-in-law visited me before his MCAT yesterday. That was nice. Thanks Brad!
Anybody know how to create a Google Site? It's an assignment due in July, and I'm struggling.
IT'S FRIDAY!!!

The Boot Got The Boot
Well folks, I'm on day 3 of wearing two shoes. It true: the walking boot is gone. In it's place is an ankle brace that I can wear with a shoe.
That boot had been my constant companion for 2 months. It had sand on it from the beach in California, I wore it to my first Disneyland trip ever, brought it on a bus, train, car, trax and plane. I've worn it to church and on the trampoline (don't worry, I didn't jump, just sat there and got bounced by my kids). It's been wet with the rain in Virginia, and touched the ground in Washington D.C. when I gave up and walked up the stairs to the Iwo Jima monument.
Good-bye boot.
Hello shoe.
My Five:
1. Being able to drive again. (Hint: don't break your right ankle.)
2. Grad school. I feel blessed to be able to go. And stay awake.
3. A productive day at work. I had ten things on my to-do list and am down to one.
4. My kids. I miss them on my school days. Last night I went to their rooms and talked to them and tucked them in and gave them a kiss even though they were already sound asleep. Hopefully they can feel love when they're asleep.
5. My husband. We work really well together. I love being with someone who has the same goals as I do (or I have the same goals as he does. Whatever. It works.)
