Big Daddy Is Home!

And the bush is trimmed........ha ha ha ha!  My FB friends should know it's not my actual "bush" but the ones in front of my house.  That was great!

Another day in the neighborhood for the Cardillo clan.  Father-in-law dropped by at 7 a.m. for a quick visit before school so I made him a cup of tea and some waffles.  Love Aunt Jemima!  Everybody got off to school with no problems and R and I went to the gym for class.  Only taught an hour today because I had a 10:45 a.m. massage.

WOD - Did not follow workout plan because I'm so close to race day and I'm a bit scattered with my workouts etc.  Therefore we climbed a hill for two songs, 50 squats, 20 pushups 3X's.  I think our legs really got the point this morning.

10:45 a.m. was my massage.  I had her work on my butt, hammies and calves.  That weird pain in my left calf which I thought was because of my nerve issue is actually because my calf is so tight.  She really worked on that puppy and made me squirm.  I love massages!

Back home for a great lunch with Roxy on the back deck, some Dora Memory and then nap time.  No arguing with her for nap today.  That was a relief.  She happily went to bed and snuggled up with me while I read a book.  She even took a decent nap.

While R was napping I went outside and did a ton of pruning.  Cut all my daffodils, trimmed bushes, trees and made the yard look nice.  Now I just need to buy annuals for my flower pots and I'm done.  Will I actually ever be done?  Probably not!

After a nice visit with neighbors and their kids, I cooked dinner (meatloaf) and Daddy came home in time to join us.  You might think the 5 days he was gone things may change but everything was back to normal as soon as he walked in the door:  arguing with the kids at dinner, everybody talking at once and all that other happy horse shit.

T had a 6:30 p.m. rehearsal for her Little Miss Southington pageant that she is in on Saturday evening.  Rehearsal took FOREVER!  The whole family went and I was beside myself when we finally left at 8:30 p.m.  Plus we promised the kids ice cream so of course we needed to pick up a quick DQ cone.  It's 9:30 p.m. and the kids just got to bed.  Oh boy!  Tomorrow could be interesting!

Ass - doing really good!  I don't want to jinx myself but I think it might be disappearing.

Food - Did good today with shake, salad, yogurt but messed up with ice cream.  So what!

Kids - Still love them!

Race - 12 days before the big day.....HOLY SHIT!
