I'm Not A Morning Person and I Can't Believe It's 10 Days Away!

Like the title of this post says, "I am not a morning person." That being said, I have had to (literally) force myself to adhere to a pretty strict schedule since school has started back this week. I know it will get easier in a few weeks, but it is really kicking my ass!! I used to fall asleep around 2am and kinda get up whenever during the summer, but now I am in bed before midnight and up at 7am in order to get things going. Not to mention, I spend my evenings before going to bed prepping things like lunches and school folders/backpacks so I don't have to waste time doing that in the morning! Kindergarten has already turned out to be seriously INVOLVED for both the student and the parents. Story time has now become mandatory and there is a log sheet to fill out daily. There is weekly homework due at the end of the week. There are site words to work on daily and a log sheet for completion. My head is seriously spinning!! (There is a little part of me that secretly loves it, though!!)

Now for my OMG moment. OMG, OMG, OMG....the half marathon is in TEN DAYS!!! I am really starting to get nervous. We're going on Sunday to pick up race packets, so that should make it THAT much more REAL. I have been getting emails from the sponsors discussing parking and when to be there and when the roads will be shut down for incoming traffic. I know I can breath a sigh of relief when it's all over and I will happily buy a T-Shirt and a bumper sticker to display my pretentiousness of having completed 13.1 miles, but right now, I am nervous and scared!!! Our last "long run" is this Saturday, then there is whatever I accomplish on Monday morning when I drop off the kids and then that's it, no more training. The big 13 point 1. Did I mention OMG???
