If April Showers bring May flowers...

what do May flowers bring?

Pilgrims! Ha...I do love that joke. Still like it, even after all these years. I think I heard that one when I was in grade four.

May has finally arrived and brought spring with it. Thank god. If it threatened to snow another day I was going to freak. I even thought about cross country skiing this weekend as it's supposed to be amazing on the hill but it was 22 degrees on Sunday - why give that up for snow?

I started working part time as of last week and it's different. I got into the routine of working full time quite easily - the family goes crazy busy for the week and then we play all weekend. Now I have spare time back on my hands again and I have to admit...it's kind of boring. Either that or I was so addicted to the frenzy we were living that actually living something of a normal life feels too slow. I'm starting to look for things to do in the evening just to fill up my time again. Given I've been working part-time only for 3 days, I should probably give myself a break.

The family has been hit with the stomach flu and so far only one of the kids have been hit hard. I'm trying to dodge the puke bullet - I hate the stomach flu with a passion. I'll change crappy diapers in a heartbeat over cleaning puke up. I don't think that will win me the mother of the year award but I really don't care! :)

I went for another long run this weekend and attempted to increase my distance but thankfully ran out of time. I ran the same distance as the weekend before (5.8 miles!) and want to run 6.2 miles but will when I think I'm ready.

Oh, and the big news for me? I got my belly button pierced on Friday. :) Took me many years to get the courage but here it is!
