Progress # 26

Well well well. I have had a interesting week fo' sho'. I am tired. But that does not mean that life does not take me by the hair and drag me along for the ride. I am getting very very close....

I met some goals this week...I rode my bike. 2.5 of 3. Last nights ride was good. But my big bruise was really hurting. Definitely a deep muscle bruise...So I did not do an 'extra'. To make it an even 3. Oh well.

I rode for 6.2 miles this week. AND that is good.

But. I am not at that big goal.

: (

But. I did lose 2 pounds this week.

SO

26 weeks

39 pounds (it is really 39.4 but we will wait until I lose that last 6 ounces)

Exercise. I will continue to ride the bike. I believe that and the 3 softball games on Tuesday really helped. Yes yes I know..You told me. Hell..I told me.

Time. UGH!. Softball night. Tonight is girls night out. Time will have to be small glimpses for now.

The Man will be working over this time. So he won't grace us with his presence until July 29.

Which means I need to do some gear shifting. Morgan goes to camp that week.

And I will have to make some arrangements for my two sons on softball night. THAT shall be fun.

Lessons this week. I have been thinking about my growth. Where have I been and where I am going? Am I running the race or am I sitting on the side waiting for the bus.

Am I who I am everywhere? I think I am. I believe I am. But I have to make sure.

DEEP. I know. But my thoughts of the week.

Hopefully next week I will be showing you a design that I will be sticking to... hopefully! : )

The beach...and other tidbits of non-sense

Well. To start with Softball was fun. I got my BIG bruise for the new session.

Running to third. Stepped on third. And the third basegirl was not near third. Pitcher thew the ball "at third" .....to NO ONE. Unless you think MAYBE he thought he was playing dodgeball. And NAILED me in the thigh just above my knee. Ump stopped the game to check on me. Pitcher apologized "I don't know what I was thinking" ..."You were thinking you want your ass kicked"

Short stop ran over... And my response. "That's nothing. I have had MUCH worse!" They looked at me. (It was their first time to play) In response...we kicked their ass! I had a fab night. I caught more pop up than you can imagine. I was ready on the bag...granted my wonderful Thirdbaseman and Short were not so accurate...but I made do. Second game...I had some more great hits. FIRE I TELL YOU!!!! Caught some more crazy hits.

EYE OF A TIGER BABY!!!

Erinn got her injury not long into the second game. Foul tip in the neck. Poor thing it was red and swollen. But still no bruising..her legs, on the other hand, look like a war zone..like mine.

OH WELL.

We lost the second. Not as bad as the first time we played them.. BUT losers none the less (9-5).

So. Home Showered. Bed. Got the kids up at 930. Packed and went to the beach.

We got some MCd's. Some drinks. And sat at Jamaica Beach. I was ready to leave an hour in. I was hot.. and hot ...and hot!

BUT I lasted 3.5 hours. We were dirty and sunburn!

Got us a Little Caesar's pizza ($5 gotta love it) for the ride home. And then they vegged on the couch staring at the ceiling.

You could say I FINALLY wore their butts out!

I ended up watching the guys from our old team play softball and get totally spanked BOTH games.

Irony...gotta love it!

AND this brings me to the fun news. My kids. Slept. and slept. and slept.

I woke up at 930 and just laid in bed. Morgan got up a couple minutes later and went for a bike ride. The boys......1130 for Jake.. and I made Jon get up at noon.

It was a quiet morning. SWEET!

Then I worked them like Hebrew Slaves and we cleaned the house.

"this house is clean"

SWWWWEEEEETTTTT!

there are few things funnier.....

I have not figured out HOW to upload videos to my blog....so you will have to click the link.
With the link name in mind..it reminds me of STUPID emails I get. Like .. "You've won a walmart card" Well. Normally I would just delete such emails..but when you fill out the little walmart survey how do they contact you IF you really won??!?!? So I clicked on the stupid email and, of course, after looking around it was just stupid junk mail.

So. I guess you have to ask yourself before you click...


Do you feel luck punk? Well....DO ya?

Do you trust me???

I rode......AGAIN!

Ok. So this may be where I mess myself up! Too much too soon???

Well. Last night the boys wanted to know if we were going to 'keep with tradition'?

geez..why do they have to get all Cleaver?

So I thought.. what they heck!

I stretched a little.. since this time the little miss was coming along and she still was not 'dressed'.

I forgot how when you hit a certain age you have to 'prepare' your self just right.

You know it is 845 at night. And dark and someone MIGHT see you.

Ahh teenage girls. So funny... so interesting...so much work

So we finally hit the road...not before lil'jack made it clear that he was being shafted b/c he wanted out too. He has an interesting cry..but anywho.

We start going and before we are even a block..I can feel the burn and I think.

OH NO. Well..it was more than that but we will say Oh no for now. : )

I can't be SORE for softball...(hear the snobby bitch in me??!!)

NO I did not turn around and walk home. (Although I did think about it.)

I went around the whole thing...ONCE.

(I will clock it today to see how far it is. I know it takes 5-7 minutes to do that whole thing at a good pace.)

Well I decided that I should not push it.

SO.

I guess that is

1.5 of 3?!?!

Tonight is softball. So the kids will have to do their run at 4:30 instead. And I will be abstaining.

Of course I do have a 630 and 830 game.

I will get more exercise than a ___________________.

I will sweat more than a _______________________.

I will hit more balls than a _______________________.

I am curious.. What would you fill in the blank with??

Just something fun for today.

OHBTW. And at this rate I may have some thing huge to talk about on Friday!!!!

TOO be seen!

I rode...

It has begun!
The boys and I rode last night.
The first lap..med. pace.
The second.
As fast as I could.

1 of 3

I need ANOTHER vacation!

I don't know what is going on..But my kids are driving me NUTS!! They are doing the craziest things. They have gotten into more trouble this week then they have in MONTHS.. We don't just sit home..we go to the pool ..we do stuff. They trash the house EVERY DAY! They get mud in the house EVERY DAY. They hit each other EVERY DAY! They do the same stuff EVERY DAY. And EVERY DAY this week...they have 'gotten IT' I am not having fun. I am not enjoying them.

I am ready to pull every hair from my head. I want to take another vacation.

I am ready to drive away and not look back...OH ...mmmm..drive....

Please...Take me away Shaun.

Introducing LIL Jack

From the beginning we knew there was something special about this little one. He stole our hearts right away. His sweet disposition made it obvious that getting rid of him would be nearly impossible. Jacob was in love immediately! He named lil'Jack after my Sally's Jack.

Where ever Jake was Jack was not far behind..or near..or carried. Jacob has said from the start..never wavering.. "Lil'Jack STAYS He is the one we HAVE to keep...He is perfect"! When their little eye started opening and we started seeing some bright blue from him and his sister we knew that we would have a hard time letting them go. But WHO needs THAT many dogs?!?! We gave away 7 of the 8. We just could not get rid of our lil'jack.

And so....

Introducing the newest member of the family.

blue- eyed Jack. Ball of fluff....full of love...Sweet personality....

I will get a better picture in the day light when I can turn off the flash.
