May is flying by

Some overdue stuff ~
First of all ~ the box scores from Monday's tennis match {the one I posted a picture of yesterday}~ Finally an initial in front of the Barton :)  While it was very cool to have both boys playing side-by-side, a victory would have been nicer.  SO.......

I would be remiss if I didn't add a previous box score ~ where Madison, as well as both Barton boys posted a victory.

 May is really going by tooo quickly.  I've got Patrick's graduation invitations mailed out & I'm furiously thinking about packing up my school room for the big move.  On top of that ~ I'm READY for my second 1/2 marathon {I do hope}.
We've also had the final band concert of the year {and of Patrick's career}.  He finally made the "good band" (where he is last chair) and Jacob is in the "bad band" (where he is first char).  I find it interesting that they both sit in the same spot in their respective bands.  They certainly dress up pretty well.

 AND the last thing I need to mention.  PROM was this past weekend.  And since I spent more on that tux rental than a new suit would have run me.  I better enjoy the pictures :)  The kids had fun & after the dance {Held at the Lodge in Geneva} they went to Maggie's and had a fire.

And ~ under the category of REALLY strange.  We received a very cute birth announcement in the mail telling us that Madison Paige Myers has been born to Perry and Erica Myers.  They live in Rome, Ohio.  And neither Mike nor myself have ANY idea who they are.  I even found them on facebook & their faces are not familiar in the slightest.  An interesting stalker fact I gleaned from FB...Perry graduated from Chardon...and he named his baby Madison.  It makes me wonder what he named his dog...Geneva?

  

There are a few possibilities:

1.  We do know them ~ and are too old to remember {scary ~ but possible}

2.  They know different Bartons ~ and have the wrong address {much less scary ~ much more likely}

3.  They sent announcements to random people ~ hoping for some extra gifts {weird ~ and unlikely}

And, I can't believe I forgot to write about this...I MADE MY GOAL WEIGHT!  I had become quite unhealthily obsessed with my Lose It! app...so I stopped cold turkey.  So a week without counting calories...and I'm keeping my weight consistent.  After my run on Saturday, May 4, I weigh in.  129.0.  DONE.  I did open my app and record that weight & I got all sorts of bells & whistles {kinda makes me want to set a new goal}  Then my allotted calories shot up 500/day.  I have to eat 1800 calories to maintain this size 6 body.  But I'm done counting.  I'm just using the scale and the feel of my pants {until they get too snug!}  but I should be ok, training for a marathon will keep me burning the calories.
