It's A Wonderful Day In The Neighborhood......

....a beautiful day in the neighborhood, won't you be mine, could you be my neighbor!  Remember Mr. Rogers!  When I think back to that show he is one scary dude! 

Today was "neighbor" day.  Dropped T and L off at the camp bus for 8 a.m., back home for R and I to get dressed for the gym, out the door at 9 a.m. to pick up my neighbors girls (I take them every Tuesday), teach class (90 minutes today), over to Kohl's to use my 30% off coupon with R and the girls and then met my other neighbor at McDonald's with her grandson for lunch and then to the Plainville Library for some frog lecture type thing.  Then back home to put R down for nap and my neighbor and I hung outside in the sun for well over an hour bullshitting while the kids played......and they weren't even my kids.  It was beautiful!  I honestly have to say that my neighborhood is the absolute best.  Everybody is so friendly and you could knock on any body's door looking for eggs or a cup of sugar. 

My great day turned sour when I had to pick up my two from camp (neighbor stayed at my house to watch the kids and make sure R kept sleeping).  I swear, the soon my two kids are in the shuffle everybody starts fighting.  I really want to say that I think it's my children.  Or T for that matter!  Granted, it could be the girls against the boys type thing but a nice play time turned bad with my neighbors grandson crying because nobody will play with him.  Of course everybody points their fingers at Trinity and there she is standing her ground saying she didn't due anything.  Well, we cleaned up real fast and everybody went home.  I was not happy!  So I sat L and T down and ask several questions about what happened and then a lecture on top of that.  "If you see your friend crying no matter what you did or did not due, you get your ass over to that friend right away and say you are sorry and show some god damn compassion!".  That was the lecture!  Probably not the best way to handle it but I'm hoping it worked.  I just kept getting the "I didn't due anything!" from T. 

I wanted to hit Winding Trails for their last triathlon tonight to take photos but everybody left around 5:30 p.m. and I was in no mood to pack them all up and head into Farmington.  They all looked tired even Roxy!  I said fuck it and stayed home, heated up leftovers, gave everybody bathes and watched a bit of "How To Train Your Dragon!".  Everybody just went to bed without any reading and they did not complain.  Bid daddy is out for a business dinner so the house is quiet and I'm getting my ass upstairs to read and sleep.  I'm just minutes away from that happening.....oh joy!

WOD - 90 class - Biked about 9 - 12 miles taking everybody through a mountain bike ride (as best as I could) and off the bike three times for weights and abs.  I would say it was a good class because my clothes had not one dry spot on them.  I sweat like a pig anyways!

Food - Salad at McD's and nibbled this afternoon on some zucchini cake and pasta for supper tonight.  Didn't eat much at all and I'm actually still hungry.  Time to slug some water and hit the hay!
