Very Sorry.....

.....for my fresh mouth last night.  I was beyond frustrated trying to get work done that I just went off the deep end.  Sadly, the trash mouth and anger continued this morning as I was trying to finish things up.  My poor husband called from work and I just f-bombed everything and could not talk without swearing.  I felt really bad.  Once I did finalize everything and sent out my newsletter I went shopping.

Could not get reservations until 10:30 a.m. at the gym so I hit TJ Maxx with Roxy before hand.  T and L are in camp for two weeks so I'm back to school type hours and school type life.  Just Roxy and I doing nothing and taking naps (at least she is).  After my frustrating morning, spending some money at the school was really good therapy.  $135 later!  Oh Boy! 

Today I'm back to the "I need to run" plan.  I pulled off a workout from the white sheet and went to town (after talking to everybody for over a 1/2 hour first) WOD - 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 of burpees, squats and situps followed by run 1 mile, rest 4X.  Well I was running behind so I just ran at 5K in 26:34.  I needed to know if I could survive that 5K first before I really started pushing myself.  I'm still alive so I guess it's time to really push hard!  Well, as hard as I can :-)

Again, loved all the rain.  Had the windows open in my house and I let in all the fresh cool air.  Baked another zucchini cake (my boss is going to be so happy), laundry,  computer work and a shower, yes I took a shower today AND shaved.  Do I hear a whoop whoop!  Got the kids from the bus around 4 p.m. and took my bird carcass from yesterday and made chicken noodle soup for supper tonight.  Great night for comfort food.  Pulled out the play-doh for the kids to play with before bed and then ni-night time.  Trinity is not happy going upstairs at 7:30 p.m. to read but I need to condition her for school.  She probably won't fall asleep until 9 p.m. anyways.

Food intake was okay today but not too great.  Roxy totally forgot where her listening ears were and I was tired so it made it for a "I'm not going to take any body's shit today" kind of day!  They all ignored me anyways!
 

I Fucking Hate Computers

I'm beyond annoyed right now.  I'm trying to send out my Tri Club newsletter and the damn piece of shit computer is acting up and I can't download photos.  It is 9:24 p.m. and I want to hit the send button so fucking bad but it's not finished......UUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Now I will have to wait until tomorrow to do this.  Shit!

Okay, back to being nice! 

We had a weekend of staying home and doing housey stuff!  My manager at work brought in this enormous zucchini from his garden and I told him that I would bake some zucchini breads/pie/cake etc.  My weekend was focused on baking:

Saturday:
WOD - Hour spin class.  I'm so done having my vagina on a bike seat.  I taught enough this past week that I think I'm off the sub list for a while.  But the class was great and it was a good end to a crazy week.

Back home to bake my ass off!  Four zucchini breads later, I was changing the kids bed sheets, rearranging their rooms, laundry and cooking a dish for a party that we went to at night.  Not bad if I say so myself.  We finally brushed our teeth and got dressed to head out to my friends party which was an absolute blast by the way.  Ate, swam, talked, ate, drank, ate, swam, ate, danced (they had a DJ) and had loads of fun.  I felt bad taking the kids away from the party at 9 p.m. but they will turn into Satan's Devils if I don't get them home and into bed.

Sunday:
WOD - Nada.....And thank goodness for this awesome rain.  I LOVE rainy days!  Again I was a baking whore making chocolate zucchini cake, cooking a nice bird with stuffing, more laundry, grocery shopping and maybe a wee bit of TV time.  Probably 15 minutes while folding laundry!

Funny story about today, for the past 3 days there has been this awful smell inside or near my washing machine.  Smelt like a dead mouse which happens in our walls every now and then.   With the cats around they catch most of them but can also hide them.  I thought this was the case!  Finally after the awful smell again today I said FUCK IT!  "honey, help me get the washer and dryer moved!".  First nothing under the dryer and then we go to move the washer and there is this carcass that looks like a fucking bat.  Todd picks it up and IT'S A FUCKING BAT!  A smelly ass dead bat.  How the hell did this fucker get into my house and under my god damn washer!  Now I'm a paranoid freak checking every corner of the house waiting for the whole damn bat family to scoop down and attack me.  Yuck!

Kids are in camp starting tomorrow.  Back to me and Roxy for two weeks and then they are in school.  I'm really looking forward to the quiet time with my baby.  I can actually put her down for a decent nap and get some stuff done in the house.  Like maybe pick up the vacuum, mop or dust cloth.  Well we are remodeling the kids bathroom so I'll probably have to paint.  Oh joy!

Oh I'm so naughty it's shamful

.....Do you have any idea what was sitting in front of me for lunch?  A nice big plate of boneless buffalo wings with ranch dressing for dipping.  OMG it was beyond orgasmic.  You'd swear I was pregnant with these crazy cravings!  Last night I wanted pasta with mozzy balls and pine nuts.  Today I wanted buffalo wings.  Go figure!  It was so damn good though.

WOD - 5:45 a.m. spin class.  I took them through a mtn bike ride!  At least I tried.  I just visualized the trail we usually bike at the reservoir and I had them jumping rocks, going down drop offs, climbing some steep hills and pedaling through some sand.  It was fun!  I was in no mood to workout because I didn't get to bed until 11 p.m. and slept like shit (damn cat) but once I got through the burn I felt great.  I was a very happy girl when I got off the bike.  Endorphins were kicking in.

Remember my "ass" chafing issue yesterday?  Well, I kind of felt it on the bike today and in the shower.  So I was thinking of wearing a simple sundress today that won't cram anything up my ass and make things worse.  So I put on my sundress with no underwear and I honestly pulled out the body glide and gave my ass a good lube job to prevent anything else happening today.  I should be embarrassed talking about all this but I'm not.  This probably happens to a lot of people so I am not ashamed.  When it comes to the heat and dresses/sundress/skirts I develop chafing issues.  This is probably due to my big ass and the constant chub rub.  A girl has to do what a girl has to do.  But I do have to brag and say I look HOT today.  Bow-chica-bow-wow!!!!!!

Work is beyond crazy today.  That means I did not leave my desk all day until 1 p.m. which was for a half hour to pick up lunch and some groceries.  My ass has been in a chair too long that my tail bone is very unhappy!  Writing this blog is my "smoke break".  I should head outside and soak up the sunshine for a few minutes but I still have too much to do before I can leave.....boo hoo!

Looking forward to the weekend; spin class tomorrow morning (subbing again), party at my friends house later in the afternoon on Saturday and then maybe a chill day on Sunday with groceries, yard work and some house work.  We are remodeling the kids bathroom so we need to tear it apart so I can start painting.  The tile/sink will be put in in about two weeks.  Then we need to remodel Lincoln and Roxy's room.  It is well over due.

Enjoy your weekend!

I need to stop having fun....

......because I could barely fit in my pants today since my ass is getting big!  Oh my word!  I don't recall these damn things being this snug.  I need to get my shit together NOW.

Okay, done bitching....but wait there's more.

WOD - was supposed to be 20/20/20 of swim/bike/run but with work things are a bit crazy this week so I chose to go for a run instead.  Hubby asked me to run to the store to meet him to pick out granite for the bathroom sink.  All I had to do was run up the hill behind work and back down the other side to meet him.  Maybe 25 minute run or so.  Pushed hard on the hill going up and felt great.  Picked out our granite, needed to poop (go figure) so hit KFC to use their potty (granite place didn't really have a "good" potty) and ran back to work.  This is when shit hit the fan:

A.  It's fucking hot out!
B.  Since I pushed hard and stopped to shop I could not get started again.
C.  Why do my feet hurt?  Oh great, blisters!  I haven't had blisters in ages.  Not even during my IM races.
D.  Uh oh, is that chafing under my arms.  Damn it! 
E.  OMG I want water so bad!

Phew!  Made it back to work in one piece looking like one big sweaty mess!  Hit the locker room to get cleaned up and stretch and that is when more shit hit the fan:

A.  I can't get my 2 inch sling-back shoes on for crying out loud.  My feet hurt too bad with the blisters.
B.  Why the hell can't I just wear my sneakers and shorts in the office.  Do I really need to look "pretty"?  Because right now I look like shit.
C.  Stupid chafing.  It stings and rubs against my shirt.  WTF!
D.  Why is my thong bothering me?  Shit, I have chafing in my ass crack.  Nice!

So here I am at my desk with all these issues.  I don't want to walk because my feet hurt in these fancy shoes (hate fancy shoes), thong is rubbing my chaffed ass (I should just take them off) and I'm realizing that I need to run more than once a week and I also need to start watching my diet.  I hate the word "diet" but I do need to focus.  I'm going to say that I will start on Monday.  Oh boy!  I hope I can do it!

Watch Hill R.I. here we come!

What an AMAZING day!  Today is really my last full day with the kids before they head to camp on Monday for two weeks from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. and then off to school.  Since I work tomorrow and Friday, today was technically my last day with them.  So I decided to pack up the Tahoe and head to Watch Hill R.I. for some great body surfing.  And body surfing we did!

My day started off really early...WOD was 5:45 a.m. spin class.  When I got home I had to pack up lunches and get everything situated.  On the road by 8:47 a.m. and we were on the beach and unpacked by 10:43 a.m.  Not bad!  The drive was really easy since we left just after morning rush hour.  Arrived in RI early enough to get a decent parking spot.  Granted, if we wanted the waves we needed to head to the beach away from the public beach which was a wee walk.  Thank goodness we chose that beach because the waves were unbelievable.  T and L's eyeballs almost popped out of their heads.  They were so excited to take their boogie boards and ride the waves.

We stayed ALL DAY!  I think we left the beach to head back to the car around 4-ish.  By this point, Lincoln was knocked on his ass from this enormous wave, Roxy was eating everything and getting antsy to go home and Trinity's friend (the one she met at the beach) left so I finally had my daughter back.  Here are all the funny things that happened today (at least I found it funny):

1.  Trinity was digging in her crotch so bad due to the sand.  The girl was in the water all day long, no wonder why her ass/and jay-jay is all full of sand.  Mine would be too.

2.  Every time I looked at Roxy she was sneaking something out of the cooler or the snack bag.  She's just like her mother.

3.  Trinity finally came out of the water very upset because she was chafing in her armpits from her suit and then between her legs because of the sand.  Poor thing is like her mother too!

4.  Had to help a family jump their car in the parking lot.  And I had absolutely no idea that I had jumper cables in my "emergency kit" that I have in the back of the truck.  Good to know!

5.  Lincoln locks himself in the bathroom stall and a guy is yelling into the ladies room looking for Stacia.  Are you fucking kidding me.  I was trying to poop and I have this strange guy yelling for me.  Trinity and Roxy were with me too and they bolted out to see what was going on with Lincoln.  Talk about interrupting mama during a much needed moment!

6.  Kids spilled an entire bottle of water at pizza place.  We were on our hands and knees with paper towels cleaning it all up.

7.  Pulled off all the kids' bathing suits to have an enormous pile of sand dumped into my truck.  I can't even begin to think how all that sand got in their suits.

8.  Forgot shorts for Trinity so she needed to wear my skirt into town so I could buy her some shorts.  Poor girl would never survive in her itchy/sandy suit.  Found a shop that sold regular cotton "Watch Hill" shorts that I bought for her.  Woman's Small!  Ouch!

9.  Kids were thirsty all day that we did nothing but piss in the public bathroom once in town.  We just about lived in the loo.  It wasn't the nicest place either.

So once we got back to the truck, jumped somebodies car (I'm going to heaven for doing a good deed), dressed the kids, walked into town, bought T shorts, bathroom break, a couple of carousel rides, sliced pizza at the Watch Hill pizza shop, another bathroom break, ice cream, another bathroom break, back to car I finally arrived home by 7:45 p.m.  Now I needed to unload the truck and get every body's asses/crotches scrubbed.  Trinity needed to be lubed up with bag balm for all her chafing and finally get my own ass out of my bathing suit and into the shower.  I needed to scrub my ass real good too.  I was hitting those waves with the kids so sand found it's way up my crotch and in my top.  Yahoo!

Another wonderful day with the kids.  The only thing that I'm really sad about is that my kids did not thank me for the special day that we had.  Instead Trinity bitched about her chafing, Roxy complained that she was "hungry" and Lincoln was just following the crowd and picking on his sisters.  I guess I was expecting "Mommy, thank you so much!  I had a great day with you today!" or "Mommy, that was the best day ever!  I love you!".  Nope!  I didn't get anything at all.  Very sad!  Oh well! 

Party, Party, Party!

.....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!
