Almost there…

Liv and Mama Originally uploaded by kyleroth. Liv was 11 months old on Sunday. I have a feeling that this month is going to fly by so I need to get going on what is sure to be the biggest social event of her life thus far. I’ve decided to change her name to Houdini. [...]

Finished? Ha, not even close…

Yesterday I ran 15 miles (my legs are paying for it today). The last 3 miles were entirely propelled by the fact that Harry would be waiting for me on my doorstep upon my return. My smile quickly faded when I realized that my reward was not to be found. I went to the salon [...]

Not surprised…

It’s been a week since my last post…a crazy busy week filled with Kyle working late every day, a 3 year old on a tantrum rampage, an infant who requires constant supervision, and early morning runs that leave me begging for a nap (or to at least sit down) by 2:00. Have no fear…I’m going [...]

Nervous

I’ve been training for the Akron Marathon since I ran the Cleveland half in May. So far my long runs have been 9,11, and 12 miles (I did the 12 miler all by myself in Sandusky 2 weeks ago…which was huge for me). I’m on this schedule (which I modified to include two 20 mile [...]

Liv’s crapper clock

Liv loves to shit when we are out. Of course, as a newborn, nursing infant she would happily fill her diaper all hours of the day, regardless of whether or not we were home, but now that she has it down to one poo a day, she has decided that it’s in her best interest [...]

Kade speak

Kade jumps Originally uploaded by kyleroth. Every time Kade opens his mouth, I tell myself to write down what he said so I can remember it later…of course, I never do. Instead, I lay in bed at night struggling to remember not only what he said, but how he said it. Here are a few [...]

Diabetes woes

My insulin pump has made managing this disease much easier…but it’s still far from a cure. Yesterday I woke up with a blood sugar of 106, ate a banana with peanut butter wrapped in a piece of bread (45g of carbs) and bolused 0.5U of insulin, which normally covers this perfectly. Well…I test before lunch [...]

Miserable

It’s hot. Currently the fan is blowing around stagnant air that you can cut with a knife, and it’s not even 10 yet. Kade is running around in his underwear (yes…real big boy pants), Liv is attempting to take her nap in what feels like 100% humidity, the dogs are camped out in front of [...]

Let the purging begin…

I put my beloved jogging stroller on craigslist today. I can’t use it anymore…two kids won’t fit into a single (no matter how hard I tried). The only way I can afford the $400 double stroller is to sell some of the crap around here. This stroller is my ticket to sleeping past 6:00, and [...]

Still dairy free…until further notice

I took Kade to the allergist today (this guy books two months in advance so we’ve been waiting a long time for this). Ever since Kade was born, he has struggled with adverse reactions to different foods. The colic that plaqued him for his first year of life stemmed from a milk protein allergy. When [...]
