I'm a Bad Blogger

I know I have been MIA, not that there is really anyone to notice.  I've just been missing the motivation to write about anything lately.  It's not that we don't have anything going on here. I mean come on, with these two crazy kids there is no shortage of stuff to talk about:

have kept my schedule pretty full.  I'm in week 9 of my training and the half marathon is right around the corner.  I'm starting to get nervous about how the weather might be on race day (January 17th), but yesterday's 39* temperature and windy rain have me a little better prepared.

What I'm not prepared for is Christmas.

I don't seem to have the attention span to do anything lately.  Hopefully I can get some motivation back, because there is too much to do over the next couple weeks to be this unfocused.

On that note, maybe I should try to get some work done so I don't lose my job.  I need it so I can finish Christmas shopping for these two:
