Isn't this just great

It is now 4:30am and I have been up for the past half hour. Stress is a wonderful thing. Although, pretty soon I will be stress-free and on vacation. Someone please bring me an fruity drink with umbrella. Actually, that isn't true....just bring me my mommy.

This past Friday I was so proud of my kids. We went to the Rail Trail and my kids and I biked 25 miles! That is the longest that my kids have gone!!! It took us 3 hours to complete that. There is a beautiful pond at the half way point that Ant really wanted to throw rocks in but John said we would be late for the appointment that we had. Mad looked at me and said "let's prove Daddy wrong" and we hauled butt home. Although my oldest wanted to quit so bad, she didn't! The boy really didn't have a choice as he is attached to my bike. Hopefully that will change soon but for now, it is good.

It is hot here. I ran on Sun 6.5 miles.....in the heat and humidity. My neighbor stopped to ask if I wanted a ride and let me tell you....his air conditioned truck almost made me want to jump right in. I would have had a tear in my eye at his generosity but I had no tears/saliva/sweat left in my body.

I love the new shoe smell

I just got a new pair of shoes in!!! There is something about getting a package in the mail that is so exciting.....and when it is my running shoes in there....it is doubly exciting. I took them out for a 20 minute run and I planned on running 2 miles....well, I made it home in 20 minutes and 30 seconds!

On the dc front, I had a little 4 year old girl bust into tears today because my son pushed her down. Why you ask? She tried to kiss him and she didn't listen when he asked her not to. When I sat her down to explain to her that she has to listen when someone tells her no in a situation like that, she started sobbing alligator tears about how her other boyfriend broke up with her and she is so sad....I simply told her there are other fish in the ocean that are just waiting for her....in 14 years :-)

Talk about impulse shopping....John just bought himself a new vehicle. His old one was fine and worked wonderfully but we are new car owners....I think I deserve a trip to Target for not saying no. Not to mention that to start our vacation next week, I scheduled him a 60 minute massage....what a great freaking wife I am.

Still no idea...

Well, I did some things here and there and I am not entirely sure I am doing it correctly....but we will see.

I am happy today. We went on a field trip to the library today and all 4 of my kids were fabulous! We saw a guy who is a Master of Bubbles. I wish I had my camera for some of the tricks that he did. Bubbles inside bubbles.....white smoke filled bubbles....he made a bubble pinwheel it was cool. The kids were great and they loved it so it was worth it.

John and I bought road bikes and were riding a lot....as of late...not so much. I love cycling. It is fun and exciting and a great calorie burner! I just need more hours in the day. I love Love LOVE it. I think I just figured out what I need to do....I need to quit my job! BINGO! I had a feeling this blog would help me come to some realizations!

Testing testing, is this thing on?

I have no idea what I am doing....did it work?
