After a long Friday of work and coming home to tired/cranky kids, Todd and I were able to sit our asses on the couch and watch part of a movie "The Last 3 Days". It was very nice to veg out in front of the TV but I could not watch the entire movie and stay up too late. I had to get up early this morning.
Up at 6 a.m. for my WOD today - 1.5 mile swim in Lake Quassapaug with the QSC. I cannot even begin to tell you how gorgeous of a morning it was. Cooler temps, sunny skies and a very placid lake. It was breath-taking. After struggling to get my wetsuit on (always such a chore) I jumped in the water and took off. It was a .75 mile swim across the lake, a quick stop to have everybody catch up and then back to the club beach. It felt really good to swim but my lower back was very achy. I just need to focus on keeping my head down and body in alignment. 1.5 miles is a good distance and you really need to focus on your stroke and body to avoid hurting anything.
Home by 9 a.m. to the smell of pancakes in the air plus one extra child; our neighbors grandson. He came over for breakfast and stayed for a bit. The kids had a great morning playing and then we jumped into the car to shop a bit (remodeling my kids bathroom). After a tile purchase and some paint, we brought Lincoln to a pool party that he was invited too. Trinity went to our neighbors house to swim and we tried to put R down for an early nap. No good! Around 1:30 p.m. we collected everybody to head over to the Italian Festival in Southington. Trinity's Little Miss Southington group was asked to perform and I signed T-bird up. I posted the video on FB so you really need to hear it. She's our superstar!
I'm now home with a pint of vodka and lemonade by my side. I drank the full 16oz so far and I'm ready for another one. Off to neighbors house to get her drunk and use her pool. Love Thy Neighbor! We'll scrounge something up for dinner.
Oh by the way! I signed up for the Hartford 1/2 Marathon yesterday. Could not do the full because I don't think I want to run that far but 13 miles is long enough right now. Shelling out money like crazy! Sweet! It grows on trees at my house.....LOL!
Roxy is snoozing and I need to get her ass up because it is time to party. Damn kid is supposed to nap when it is NAP TIME! Now she is interfering with my drinking time. WAKE UP ROXY!
