.....that is what I have been doing in VT all weekend log and not giving a shit about my health :-) Meaning, no working out, eating whatever I want and having a few cocktails. Giddy up! I love weekends like that.
Saturday -
Hung out at the Killington Grand watching the Spartan BEAST Adventure Race. 12 miles of crazy shit with 25+ obstacles. I was very happy that I was not participating. Back to the room for lunch followed by a nice swim in the pool. That is when the drinks started to kick in and everybody was getting very happy. Headed back to the mountain to watch the racers finish up (some raced past 6 p.m. and started at 9:30 a.m.). Caught some tunes from Badfish which is a Sublime Tribute Band, more beers and then back to the room. By this point it was supper time and I never should have eaten. We sat down to stuffed shells and everything hit bottom so fast that I grew lethargic and had a headache. I should have kept my liquid dinner flowing. This is when I realized that I'm getting old :-)
Sunday -
Todd's family checked out early but we decided to either stay at the Grand for another night, head to the VT house or go home. It was raining and very cloudy so the decision was hard to make. While Todd was trying to get his family situated I took the kids to the pool and we swam in the rain. Thank goodness the pool is heated. Got out, showered, ate lunch and packed up the truck to head back to CT. Noticed the sun was peaking out more south so we decided to take a different route home that would take us towards Manchester and Dorset. In Dorset there's this marble quarry that kids swim at. If the weather was really nice we were going to stop for a bit. Got to the quarry and there were tons of people swimming and jumping off the cliffs. The sun was out full throttle by the point that we decided to swim for a bit. Trinity and Lincoln jumped right in and headed towards the 17 foot cliff. Of course Lincoln wants to jump off and he did just that. I was so proud of him. Roxy was even jumping off the 6 foot cliffs. We had an absolute blast! It was getting late and everybody was having a good time so we decided to find a cheap motel in the area and spend the night. The kids were super happy. Todd had Monday off anyways so it was nice to stay in VT.
Monday -
Clouds again but we decided to hang in VT in hopes that they would burn off. Headed up 7 North and hit the Emerald State Park which is new to us. Gorgeous lake with a small beach and beautiful grounds. We were the first ones there and the sun was trying to peak out but it was more cloudy then we had hoped. Kids swam for a bit and then people started to come into the park. Before you know it the sun is out, we are swimming like fish, rented a row boat and ventured over to the rope swings that were along the lake. All I have to say is that my kids have some serious balls. Trinity, Lincoln AND Roxy all did the rope swing and we could not get them off the damn thing. It was such a blast! Even big momma jumped a few times screaming like such a girl. Left around 4 p.m. and headed back to CT. Roxy passed out instantly in the car and we stopped for supper in Brattleboro before the 2 hour drive home.
Kids - Were totally AWESOME all weekend long. A few crazy episodes here and there which was no big deal but really some hormonal things and typical 3 year old crap.
Food - Bagels, shells, salami sandwiches, hot fudge sundaes, milk shakes, pop tarts, beer, fries, nachos, Burger King (I know!), chips and everything else you could think of. Shame on me!
Today -
Reality slap! Class (ugh!), cleaning, laundry and just about everything else when you are in your own home. I felt good in class and it really beat me up, rushed home to have friends over for a BBQ lunch to say good-bye to my friend Jill who is going back to Japan after coming home in January (Thank you ladies for coming over and bringing such wonderful food), drove T-bird to Winding Trails for the Kids Triathlon (she did great), back home for supper, play time with kids and now it is 9:07 p.m. and I'm packing my bags to get ready to teach at 5:45 a.m. I almost forgot about it....
Again, still love my children because they are doing pretty good. Did not behave on my food intake today but I will get back on track at some point. Need to get my ass outside and run soon but teaching too much spin class this week. I'll wait until next week to run more. Hell, my shorts still fit so I think I'm doing okay!

Sat on my ass.....
.....all day today. I brought my gym bag into work today in hopes to get a run in at lunch but I never left my desk. Yes, I could have gone out but my mind kept me at my desk. It could be a number of things; 1. I'm sore from yesterday. 2. My workload is crazy and I would stress about it. 3. I'm leaving early and I want to make sure I have everything done before I go or 4. I flat out don't want too! I think reason #4 is what sealed the deal!
I bought my kids a package of cookies n' cream pop tarts for a treat and what do I do? I bring a package (2 pop tarts per package) and eat them on the way to work. Real good way to start the day. Very yummy though! But then I did sit down and had my protein shake :-). Salad and greek yogurt for lunch and now I just sat down to some nutter butters. I just set myself up for failure when I had the pop tart this morning. The box was yelling "eat me woman!" so I did. no WOD and ate like shit. I guess tomorrow is another day!
Not talkative today because nothing really fun, interesting or embarrassing happened! Sorry!

Is it a serious injury?????
I'm not sure but right now it hurts like hell. Remember how I mentioned that my right shoulder has been acting funny lately? It doesn't prohibit me from doing anything but it's just sore when I do some exercises. Well, today my WOD was 500m row, 50 kb swings, 500m row 40 kb swings, 500m row 30 kb swings, 500m row, 20 kb swings, 500m row, 10 kb swings and 500m row followed by 100 sit ups. Other then feeling like I had a pole up my ass every time I got off the rowing machine, I felt great. I'm not sitting at my desk with an extremely sore shoulder to the point where I need to ice it and swallow some Advil. I am praying to the big guy above that this is just a "today" thing and nothing serious. I actually cannot ignore it because it aches that bad. SHIT!
Oh well, suck it up Bendza!
Work day today. It's already 4:20 p.m. so the day did go by really fast. Ass is doing great by the way! Got rid of that problem for now and adopted another one.
Kids were super tired this morning driving up to Grandma's house. After 6 hours of playing around at Lake Compounce yesterday, Grandma took them to the Beardsley Zoo today. Lets just say that when I called they were on their way home and the kids were passed out in the car. They sure did need the shut eye time!
Heading to VT tomorrow night through Monday so when I get home I need to pack up. When we go to VT I usually wear the same thing all weekend long so packing won't take long :-) Who needs a bra and underwear anyways while in VT. They are all a bunch of granolas!
Today was my first day back to FOCUS and get my shit together. I ate really good, worked out hard and starting to run more to get ready for the Hartford 1/2 Marathon. I have plenty of time to train and I already have a decent base but I just need to add more "running" to the menu. My favorite activity.....NOT! I'm thinking tomorrow I'm going to sneak out at lunch and run a 10K. We'll see how I feel after that run. I just hope I don't shit my pants. Speaking of shitting my pants, I have this intestinal thing that started yesterday where I cannot keep anything in. I eat a cracker, I shit! I eat lunch, I shit! I breath air, I shit! I feel great but the belly isn't too happy! It should go away soon....I hope!

So I Was Thinking........
......that I really need to get my ass in gear and run! I did sign up for the Hartford 1/2 marathon and I have not run since Sunday July 24th and that was only a 5K. Today I decided to run a quick 4 miles to see if it would kill me or not! I survived and ran 4.1 miles in 35:27 which was under a 9 minute mile. T and L rode their bikes with me and they argued the whole way just about. They raced each other, complained about who gets to ride in front blah blah blah. I had to waste my breath and yell at them to ride safe and stop acting stupid. Kids! It was a little after 9 a.m. and I was home ready to start my day!
Roxy was in daycare today because I was bringing L and T to Lake Compounce for the day and I wanted them to enjoy the whole park and not have to worry about Roxy the whole time. After a quick visit to see Grigs and my friend Katie at work, we headed over around 11:15 a.m. Hung out by the fence waiting for the water park to open at noon. We found a couple of chairs and we went wild and did whatever we could. My friend Rouski brought her kids and we met up with them around 2 p.m. By 3 p.m. we dried off and did some of the rides before we left at 6 p.m. Of course we had pizza for lunch (their pizza is AWESOME!) and a granola bar for a snack. By 6 p.m. I was ravenous and the fried dough, fries and everything else looked so damn good but I had to head home for supper. I did hit the sweet shoppe and bought the kids some fudge and candy for the ride home. I totally spoiled their supper! They weren't too hungry for leftovers tonight. Shit we ate at 7 p.m. you would think they would eat the asshole out of a skunk! I sure could have!
So between hitting Friendly's last night after the family dentist visit (which was very entertaining by the way) having a fried chicken salad and nibbling on the kids meals/ice cream to the pizza and fudge today, you'd think it was pms time but it's called......having a fun summer and who gives a shit what I eat! Actually, I do care but hey, I can't behave all the time.

Beyond Tired!
I could sleep standing up right now. I'm totally wiped and it's only Tuesday! I have a long week ahead of me....oh boy!
I think all my early mornings are catching up with me and I'm really feeling it today. Up around 6:15 a.m. with Roxy but at least she laid quiet on the couch so I can rest for a bit before she wanted breakfast. Dropped off Lincoln at camp around 8:45 a.m. (Friday was canceled due to rain so today was a make up day)...Headed to the gym to teach class for 9:30 a.m. (WOD - Biked around 15 miles and lifted weights) and class ended at 10:45 a.m. I think an hour and 15 minutes was long enough today :-)
I go to pick up Lincoln at camp and he runs over to me and cries. He was so happy to receive his medal/certificate from camp but also sad because it was his last day. I felt bad for him but he quickly regrouped and took care of the tears. He actually made me tear! Then I knew I was really tired if I was crying because of Lincoln. Then on the way home there was this old couple in their front lawn with two chairs and a small table of tomato's from their garden. They were selling them for $1/lb. I grabbed three baskets full and he said I owed him $6. I gave him $8 because he was charging such a cheap price. Then I started talking to them about my Dad and how he had a great garden every year.....blah blah blah. I get in the car and I start to cry. What the fuck Stacia! I just think that seeing this older couple selling tomato's on the side of the road really hit home and it made me think of Dad. I was also pissed because my father should be as old as them growing tomato's instead of in heaven at the age of 64. So I had my schmoopy moment.
Home for lunch and R for nap. T and L pissed me off because they kept fighting over the computer and fighting over feeding the rabbits. So sick of hearing their shit. Threw them in their rooms for a bit because I wanted a quiet house. Now the dilemma, nap on the couch or sweep/mop the kitchen floor and fold clothes. I decided to do the chores instead. If I lay down I'll be a mess all day.
Right now I'm sweating my ass off in this house. Did not put the AC on again because I thought it was going to be a somewhat decent day. I'm fucking boiling! I'm going to take the kids next door to swim for about a half hour before their 5 p.m. dentist visit. The entire Cardillo family will be taking over the dentist. R, L, T and Mommy are getting their teeth cleaned. Should be interesting!

Absolutely No PATIENCE Today.
I think I'm sick of my children. Can that be possible?
Groceries in the morning and I was ready to beat them to a pulp in the aisle. Why do my children have to play "grab ass" everywhere we go? Come on guys! Just walk next to mommy, shut your damn pie-holes and behave. Is that so hard to ask? Trinity was pushing Roxy around the store like she's a race car driver, Roxy is screaming at the top of her lungs and Trinity and Lincoln are chasing each other down the aisle's taking off their flip-flops. I told my husband and the kids that they will be taught store etiquette 101. I will no longer put them in the Shop Rite daycare until they learn how to walk next to their parents without fucking around. If they proceed to be animals then I will punish them and take shit away from them. I just hope this works.
I wanted to take the Smurfs movie away from them but I called my mother to have her join us plus I really wanted to see the movie. Very cute movie. The kids will enjoy it!
The rest of the day we chilled out in our super humid house. I didn't put the AC on because I thought today was supposed to be a decent day....wrong! I was sweating in my ass crack it was that bad today. The rain finally came through and cooled things off but I'm still really warm. I ate my entire house and I could not stop. I must be really tired or frustrated because that is what leads me to eat. Damn children! They are making my ass fat!
I'm going to sit my ass down and enjoy some TV time. Then some much needed bed time.

Worst Parent Award......
....awarded to Stacia and Todd Cardillo. Trinity had lost her tooth last night and she was very excited to put it under her pillow for the Tooth Fairy. Well, Todd and I crashed really hard at 9:30 p.m. and Trinity was still semi-awake. We couldn't do the "fairy" thing just then so I told Todd that when I get up early for class I will sneak in the room an put the dollar under her pillow and take the tooth.
I get up for class (WOD spin class = 18 miles) and I come home around 7 a.m. and there's Trinity looking very sad on the couch. I asked what was wrong and she said "the Tooth Fairy didn't come last night!" and she showed me her tooth. Talk about feeling like the biggest piece of shit. I played dumb and asked her if she really looked around her room because maybe the fairy could not put it in her little case that she had. I ran upstairs to get undressed and I crumbled up a dollar and stuffed it under her sheets. I called Trinity up to her room to make sure she really looked around. So she started going through her pillows and sheets and she saw the dollar. She was very happy but she also looked suspicious! I played the best "dumb" part ever and made up a story and suggestions as to why she probably didn't get the tooth or why she did not put the dollar in her case. Hook line and sinker baby! She didn't care at the point but she did care about getting her $$. I felt so much better but could not believe that we had forgotten. Bad Mommy!
After a few cocktails with our neighbor on Saturday night we came home and passed out. Too much play and not enough rest. Todd let me sleep in on Sunday morning until almost 8 a.m. It felt great but I felt bad for him because he was really tired too. Chilled out at home all morning doing laundry, taking baths and building a fort in the living-room with all the chairs, blankets and sheets. Looked through the Sunday paper while drinking tea and doing some serious NOTHING at home.
At 12 p.m. my father-in-law and his girlfriend came to the house and we all piled into the Tahoe and headed up to the Stafford Motor Speedway to see the Monster Truck Jam. It was hot, dirty and loads of fun! The noise of the trucks and the atmosphere was rocking! Trinity had to hide in the shade for a bit because she is not a sun fan unless there is water involved. The rest of us hung out on the bleachers eating dust and hooting and hollering at the trucks. We all looked like Pig Pen from Charlie Brown when we were done. My boobs were even dirty from the dust getting down my shirt and into my bra. What a great afternoon.
We drove home and drove right into Farmington to eat at Garlic Joe's or Joey Garlic's whatever it is called. I was so happy to slug some water and devour a pizza. We didn't really eat all day and the solid food was very welcoming.
Back home to another round of showers because we were so damn filthy. By 6:45 p.m. the kids (even Roxy) were all chilling out on the floor/couch watching TV and not saying a word. Everybody was very happy! I on the other hand had some quiet time on the computer paying bills and getting some photos organized! I feel better now that it is done!
Today is a day of nothing! First I am going to just chill at home and maybe mop the kitchen floor. We already made french toast. I need to get groceries and maybe take the kids to the movies to see the Smurfs. I grew up with those blue bastards and collected all of the figurines and even had sheets. My Mom still has the figurines at her house too! I would like to see the movie if I can get them there today. But we are all going to have chill time this afternoon with a nice nap for Roxy and reading time for T and L!
