Mom on the Run
I’m in the grocery store, wheeling my cart slowly, slowly down the aisles. Up and down, up and down. If I don’t go through the store in the same order, not skipping any aisles, I forget things.

Update

Today, 5K runs and walks are great ways to stay fit or get in shape while placing an achievable goal that can be accomplished with family and friends.
For people like me, my only goal is to just finish the race. While for others beating a personal best time is trophy enough.

Ain’t Them Bodies Saints — Rated R — 4 of 5 stars
It ain’t like the title “Ain’t Them Bodies Saints” has anything to do with the movie, but it ain’t a bad title either. From Director/Writer David Lowery, this Indie drama and Sundance Film Festival darling is a piece of work.
