Where the hell did the week go? What the hell did I even do? We didn't even go out for supper and only had lunch out once. We obviously brought way too much food!
We are all showered, snacks are packed, games/toys put away in boxes to stuff in the truck and alcohol has been consumed! I will miss the beach and the laziness of this entire atmosphere. We have been pooped from all the sun and the salt water.
Today we rented a pontoon boat and headed out on the Charlestown Pond that opens up to the ocean. We had the boat from 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. and we used it almost to the exact minute. The pond was very shallow so the idea of jumping off the boat and swimming didn't really happen until we found a 10 foot spot towards the end of our day. We drove around the pond and looked at what it had to offer, anchored at a sand bar to explore and look for crabs, drove around some more and found another location to walk around the water. Hung out on the boat and listened to music (thank goodness for the radio on the boat). Played Catch Phrase, talked, drove around some more, ate, ate, ate and ate some more. Finally by 11:30 a.m. I needed to feed the crew lunch before they were going to rip our heads off. Everybody was hungry all day long!
After a nice packed lunch we drove around some more and anchored yet again. We found a path that lead us to the actual beach on the other side. It was gorgeous and completely empty. The kids swam a bit but the wind picked up and it started to get cold. Back to the boat and off again to do some more exploring. Anchored again so we could just chill on the boat. Clouds came in and the wind picked up some more.....oh boy! Now it was really cold. At 2 p.m. we decided to pack it in and head back to the marina. Everybody had their sweatshirts on and we were still cold. By this point Roxy has fallen asleep amongst an enormous pile of beach towels all snuggled up. I didn't want to wake her so Todd drove around some more and a few minutes later Lincoln had fallen asleep. Okay, now what? We headed back to the marina area and anchored in a spot that was about 10 feet deep and sunny! Yahoo! The kids woke up, we all undressed and back into the water they go. They had a blast!
We finally made it back to the marina, drove home and started supper while Todd blended me some margarita's.....yummy! After two drinks and a beer I was pretty numb! We had to get rid of some of the booze so why not drink it right? Jen Cambi, you'd be proud of me!
Everybody is all showered, ice cream sundaes demolished and time to get snuggly in bed. Roxy is already in bed and T and L are slowly getting there. I guess we are up and out tomorrow around 10 a.m. so I have been doing laundry and packing most of the stuff up tonight. Definitely going home with less then what we came with. I guess that is because we ate everything. Hence the bloated belly!
The kids did an AWESOME job on vacation. They were well behaved and happy all the time. They played great with their cousins (teenagers) which could be difficult sometimes......damn 15 year olds!
Chalk it up to another great vacation with the family and while here Todd booked our long weekend in September to Mexico. Time for Mommy and Daddy to sneak away for 3 nights for some crazy sex! LOL!

It's Already Thursday......Oh Man!
Vacation is nothing but food....sand....food.....sand....saltwater.....laundry.....dirty beach towels.....laundry.....sandy asses.....dishes......cooking.....cleaning. I do all this shit at home!
I don't mind it as much because I'm on vacation and the only thing we have been doing is hitting the beach every day and body surfing on the big waves. The kids are happy therefore I am happy! I could do without the packing coolers, cleaning coolers, loading and unloading the truck.
I had the chance to hit the rocky shore yesterday morning with my sister, T and L to do some sea glass hunting. It was a very hot morning even at 7:30 a.m. We just dug around the rocks and looked for the sea glass. I quickly became an addict! I did find some to add to the kids' collection. Everybody was getting over-heated very fast that we headed back home to cool off.
We waited to hit the beach after lunch time even though the heat was crazy. We headed over to Adventureland and drove the go-karts, hit a round in the batting cages, played mini-golf and lastly sprayed the shit out of each other in the bumper boats. The water was refreshing and it was a great way to end our little outing.
I have not been drunk yet on vacation so last night was our "patio" party but of course some serious storms came through. We just brought the party indoors and played pictionary. Of course it was a game of dirty pictionary. We all had a few drinks in our system and had a great time. We even let the kids stay up really late and enjoy their own party. Late for me is midnight so I was very happy with lasting that long.
Today we took the kids to Misquamicut and enjoyed the water slides. If you arrive at 10 a.m. (when they open) you can ride for an hour and forty minutes. That was plenty of time to go up and down a thousand times. Because of the storms that rolled through last night, today was windy and cool. It was tough splashing around in the water on the slides. Talk about nipples jetting out and poking somebody in the eye!
After the slides we hit a snack shack for lunch and then headed home to pack up again and go to the beach before supper. With the wind, we just sat on the beach building sand castles.......of course the adults were making them and the kids just watched....lazy asses!
AFTER EFFECTS - Did I really just race on Sunday? It seems like a dream! I was a little sore in the quads on Monday but then on Tuesday I felt great. It is truly amazing how your body can go through 70.3 miles and be a bit sore the next day and 100% the day after that. I love it! I did bring workout clothes for the week and I haven't touched any of them. Sneakers, biking shoes, shorts and t-shirts are still packed and I don't think I will lift a finger to do any form of activity other then lubing kids up with lotion, body surfing, building castles, dishes, cleaning and laundry. I'll enjoy the rest!
Ass is feeling really good but I'm not going to take any chances. I will schedule a cortisone shot when I get home!
Kids....whatever! They are eating everything, drinking all the bottle water, running around like wild Indians, make messes and just having a blast. I will kick their ass and reprimand them when I get home. Now is not the time! I do love it when they are in bed....LOL!
Time to clean my cracks and crevices! Sand gets EVERYWHERE!

Now what?
......enjoy the rest of my summer, that's WHAT!
So my 7 month goal since January 3rd is complete. I raced in two Half Ironman events and I'm still alive. Did not lose my 30 pounds but I did lose about 10 - 15 pounds. Probably gained a ton of muscle but I can live with that.
Right now I have some Advil in my system so I can get my head off the pillow for a bit. I have the bug just like Trinity and Lincoln do. What a mess! I have so much to tell you it's crazy and I need to get my head on the pillow in a few minutes so I will give you cliff notes.
I'm pissing out of my ass to the point where I have been using Balmex. My ass is on fire! Threw up twice and I think I don't have anything left in me. Hell, I barely ate yesterday and today I only had toast and tons of water. Maybe I did meet my 30 pound goal....ha ha ha ha!
Lincoln is much better, Trinity is still in bad shape (you can see it in her eyes) and I'm not 100%. That leaves Todd and Roxy. They are still healthy....knock on wood!
God bless my husband. He has put up with all my shit for the past 7 months, lugged my ass all over Providence on Saturday to get me checked in and my stuff dropped off, took care of the kids all morning and afternoon yesterday while I raced, took care of Trinity and Lincoln last night while they were sick (he never gets sick and If I'm within 10 feet I catch the bug....guess I caught it) and now he has been making us toast today and entertaining Roxy at the beach while Trinity, Lincoln and I stayed home and hung out on the couches. So far he's been working too hard on vacation!
The race was GREAT!
SWIM - Got into transition late (due to traffic) and I only had 5 minutes to get out of transition, needed to poop really bad so hung out in potty line while the gun went off by the water since the race started. Stressing out a bit because I was in the 6th wave therefore I had 20 minutes to get through to potty line, poop and head to the water. Get to the water and noticed I was now in wave 13. That made me feel better but then again I was racing almost last which meant I was going to be in the sun longer while I ran.
I was as cool as a cucumber during the swim. NO WETSUITS because the water was 82 degrees. Bath water! I focused on keeping my head down and ass up. I swam away from everybody which meant I swam a longer distance but I don't give a rats ass. I wanted to be comfortable and I was! My watch said 46 minutes which is slower then I wanted but I did not have my wetsuit on either.
BIKE - Great course. Rolling hills and nice steady flats to get comfy on the bars and pump the legs. I felt really good on the bike. Made a few friends along the way especially this 68 year old woman named Linda (I want to be like her when I grow up) and 40 year old Ralph from NY. We just about rode together the entire time. He did say to me when we had 6 miles left "Stacia thank you very much for making my ride go by much faster!" I biked in before him but he smoked my ass on the run.
RUN - No fatigue in the legs. I just kept thinking "left foot, right foot" almost the whole run. My goal was to run the entire 13.1 miles and only walk during the water stations and that is exactly what I did. I ran every hill and every mile of that damn thing. I was very determined! It was a two loop course so the 2nd loop was mentally challenging especially when they bring you back to the finish line but you cut off and run the loop again. Saw my family at this point and it was great having them there. Made Grigs lube my shoulders and back up with lotion because it was 1000% sun the entire day. I was roasting like a chicken. Ran by Andrea and Dave Buono which was really cool. Nice to see them on the course. Of course they were finishing up their 2nd loop while I was starting my 1st loop. Damn fast runners!
Drank 80 oz of water on the bike and did not pee once. I was getting concerned....drank water and endurance juice on the run and still did not pee.....no I'm more concerned. Why don't I need to pee? Maybe because I was sweating so much? Then I started thinking that I was over hydrated which could be very bad. Well, when I did finish I hit the porta-potty to poop (of course) and pee a bit. You'd think I would have the Niagra Falls flying out of my bladder!
I just have to say, that my pal Grigs/her girls and my family are amazing! Grigs and her daughter Katie woke up at 4:15 a.m. to drive me to the swim start. They hung out and dealt with traffic and crazy shuttle bus issues. Then they were at the bike transition cheering me on the whole way. Little did I know they were using my FB page and updating everybody on what was happening. They were there in the scortching sun and heat waiting for my ass to cross the finish line. Todd showed up with everybody in tow to see me finish the run and they all had these great signs. It made me so proud and so greatful for the family and friends that I have. You are all so awesome!
Time to put my head on the pillow! I had enough sitting up time! Tomorrow is another day!

Thanks Nelson
Nelson insisted that I add the blogger app to my big girl phone. So I did! Happy Nelson??? Now I can blog on vacation without needing a computer.....sweet!
I Feel GREAT!
......other then not have a good BM in the past two days I feel really good. If I just went out for a run at lunch it would do the trick....lol. But I am trying by taking in some serious fiber foods; 1/2 bran muffin this morning with my protein shake, cherries, almonds, turkey/avocado sandwich with tons of veggies......hello???? No poopies yet?????? What the F!@#$%
I'm thinking a quick jog tomorrow morning before we leave will help.
It's Friday and I'm off next week......yeah! But before I can enjoy my vacation I need to race 70.3 miles on Sunday first. Oh boy! Race #2 is finally here and all that damn training I've put my body through since January 3rd is coming to an end. So today was my last workout before the big race (unless I do a quick run tomorrow morning)....WOD - 20/20/20 of each discipline at a comfortable pace = 1100 yard swim, 5.9 mile bike (averaging 90 rpm) and 2.2 mile run (9 minute mile). The swim was AWESOME! I felt very strong and ready. I mainly focused on my technique and that "perfect stroke". This ass does not glide but I was doing pretty good. The bike was the bike....nothing different or crazy. Had it set at level 13 and averaged about 90 rpms with my heart rate at about 130. The run was comfortable. I just wish that a 9 minute mile is what I could run on race day but I'm more like 11 minute mile. We'll see what Sunday brings. Maybe I will surprise myself.
I really want to go to bed early tonight but Trinity has her Theatre Camp show at 7 p.m. That means home late and with getting the kids to bed and packing the rest of the house up, it will most likely be a 11 p.m. night. And there is no way in hell that I'll be sleeping good tomorrow night.
Shit is hitting the fan at work......gotta go! I'll bring Todd's computer on vacation so I can blog about how drunk I am all week.....SWEET!

Tappering is TOUGH!
I mean really.....I do enjoy the rest days but so many of them? I guess I'm feeling lazy today since today is one of my rest days. I'm saving all my energy for Sunday....(insert "poop" here).
With my computer in the shop it is hard to find time to get on my husbands computer and blog/work etc. Last night I just wanted to sit and watch a show therefore I did not blog about my day. So here you go:
Wednesday -
We are leaving for vacation on Saturday morning bright and early so yesterday was a day where I could get most of my packing and organizing done. After dropping T off at camp, bringing Grigs her coffee at work (love ya buddy!), heading over to gym to get my ass rubbed one last time (in mourning), pick T back up, hit Target and spent loads of money, I finally arrived home. The kids and I were beyond starving so everybody was up my ass looking for lunch. Rule #1 - when I'm hungry......do not talk to me or ask me to do ANYTHING. I will rip your damn head off. I am on a mission to eat so F-off everybody! Really! That is how I am. Thank goodness for the Oscar Meyer Lunchables (big treat for kids) because I only had to rip off the top and serve them lunch. Quick and easy....now what the hell does Mommy eat. Did not buy groceries because we are heading out on vacation so we are scrounging around the house looking for food. Thank goodness I had one can of tuna left! Tuna time!
I finally got the chance to pack the rest of our stuff up while R napped and L/T read their books and attacked each other with the garden hose once I threw them outside. Hit the neighbors pool around 4 p.m. for a swim and even sent my own ass in the water for a swim. It was HOT out! My electric bill is going to be crazy because I have had the AC on almost all week. Only money right?
Once big daddy arrived at the neighbors, I was able to head home, suit up and go teach class:
WOD - one hour spin class. A friend is certified and in training so I let her co-teach with me. She does a 1/2 hour and I do the other 1/2 hour. It gives her some experience before she teaches her own class.
Once home and dinner was in my belly, I watched some TV and forced my ass to bed early. I was going to read but I only got to one paragraph before my eyes starting bugging out. Nappy Nap time!
Thursday -
WOD - Rest day......UGH! I think I'm in total denial about my race on Sunday. I am carbing up....see my picture?

Yummy huh! Okay so I will nibble on a bit of this but it is actually for a candy "bowl" at work. I feel bad when I see it empty so I need to refill it. The "bowl" is my downfall at work. Bad habit of reaching my hand in every once in a while.......naughty naughty!
Work day today so Grandma is home with T and L while Roxy is at daycare. I'm sure Grandma is feeding them tons of shit. When I get home it's supper time (leftover pasta), singing lessons for T, showers/baths for everybody and into bed. Daddy's last night at class so that will be a nice change. I just pray that I have patience to listen to my children, not want to beat them and strength to not dive into the ice cream carton.

Time for school yet?
.....my kids are having way too much fun and I'm exhausted making sure they are entertained. Motherhood is a tough job! Maybe it is time to go to work full time......NOT!
I guess every Tuesday is just going to be chaos for the rest of the summer. Granted, this is Trinity's last week of camp so things will get easier. But I will be watching my neighbors kids every Tuesday so that just makes things more interesting. After I dropped off T at camp, picked up neighbors kids, drove to gym to teach class, back to get Trinity, brought all kids to library, brought them all to McD's, we finally arrived home by 1:15 p.m. Threw the AC on and decided that we weren't doing shit outside this afternoon. Lincoln and the girls were in T's room all afternoon doing "spa". Painting nails, make-up, doing hair and chilling. Roxy napped and the house was quiet. I was impressed but I guess you can say that everybody was tired and the chill time was welcomed with open arms. When the girls left at 3:30 p.m. I packed up a cooler and bathing suits and brought my kids to Winding Trails to swim and watch the Tri Club racers. Home by 9 p.m. and into the shower to get sand out of every body's hair and off to bed. Another great summer vacation day!
WOD - class today. Biked 1,2,3 minutes out of seat, jumped off for exercises 3X's for an hour class. I didn't want to do anything different since my race is only 5 days away and I just need to maintain at this point. I just hope I'm doing it right and that I'm not losing strength. I guess I will know when I'm in the middle of the race.
Packing for vacation so the house is an absolute mess. Shit everywhere, boxes of food covering the dining room table, bags of towels laying all over my bedroom floor and fishing poles/boogie boards and other misc shit piled in the garage. Can't wait for vacation but there is a lot of work involved in this damn trip. No wonder why Todd and I love all inclusive vacations!
Paid bills so now I have a headache after seeing how much we spend. Damn!

WOD - class today. Biked 1,2,3 minutes out of seat, jumped off for exercises 3X's for an hour class. I didn't want to do anything different since my race is only 5 days away and I just need to maintain at this point. I just hope I'm doing it right and that I'm not losing strength. I guess I will know when I'm in the middle of the race.
Packing for vacation so the house is an absolute mess. Shit everywhere, boxes of food covering the dining room table, bags of towels laying all over my bedroom floor and fishing poles/boogie boards and other misc shit piled in the garage. Can't wait for vacation but there is a lot of work involved in this damn trip. No wonder why Todd and I love all inclusive vacations!
Paid bills so now I have a headache after seeing how much we spend. Damn!
