Mandi woke up in a really bitchy mood this morning.  She had this English assignment where she had to write about a funny story involving her or the family.  I tried to give her a couple.  She didnt' like anything I came up with.  Not funny enough I guess.  I mean she gave me like 5 minutes to come up with something.  Sheesh!   Ran 7 miles this morning, 81 minutes.  Speed work, 7 Yassos.  Jim took me and the boys out to lunch.  Gotta take Mandi to the Ortho.  We are supposed to pay for "phase 2".  Not sure yet where the money is coming from.  She gets her braces next week, so I guess we better think of something.  We have to pay everything up front, then our insurance pays us back at 29 dollars a month for the next few years.  Weird I know, but that is the way they do it.  They just finished paying us back for "phase 1".   We are leaving tonight for Louisville for our celebration with family.  Then Nick leaves for Norfolk again on Sunday after we get back.  Seems like he just got here.  Anyway, probably won't be on for a couple of days.
