Those were the words I heard out of Dude’s mouth when I asked him if he wanted to start gymnastics again. We took a break from gymnastics for the summer. Princess has been ready to start gymnastics for about a month now - so I signed her up. It starts today, thank goodness . . [...]

Apparently I’m “Older”
Remember when you were a kid and you could literally run all day long without getting tired? Sure you’d get home and crash at bedtime, but the next day you were right back at it . . . all. day. long. No ill side effects, other than the occasional skinned knee or black eye.
When you [...]
Wonderful Wednesday
Finally - a Wednesday that I have off, that Hubby is home, and that we don’t HAVE to do anything after we drop the kids off at summer camp. When I first started having my Wednesdays off from work, Hubby and I used them as a sort of “Date Day” - he’s gone flying so [...]
My Butt Hurts
I got up at O-Dark-Thirty today and rode my bike to work.
It’s 13.3 miles from the trailhead to the office door.
It took me one hour.
It was dark when I started.
I’ll have to start later next time so I can actually see the trail.
I’m thankful that our office has a gym with showers. I’m sure my [...]
Weekend Review in Pictures
And a few words . . . come on! It’s me! Did you actually think I was capable of not writing ANYthing?
We had our first spring soccer games on Saturday - we got to play on the brand new artifical turf at the new YMCA! I was a bit concerned when they said [...]
Ouch!
So I showed you some pictures of the fun time we had last weekend. What I didn’t share was the PAIN that went with it! Snowboarding is great fun . . . learning to snowboard is great pain! A pain in the ass, literally. Toward the end of our totally awesome snowboarding/skiing adventure, I tried [...]
Lent Is Over!
I gave up sugar for Lent - not ALL sugar, just “frivelous” sugar as I like to call it. I stay away from anything that has sugar as one of the first 3 ingredients - like the obvious stuff, but also including things like Cheerios, bread, etc. This is usually my breakfast on Easter morning :-)Â
However, this year, [...]
Mommy Monday
Last night I made my weekly 20 mile trek to the other end of town for volleyball with the ladies. I’ve done this every Monday for the past 10 years (except when I was too prego and doc wouldn’t let me). It was tournament week to end the winter season. All 4 of us were [...]
Pfffffttttttt - Can You Hear That?
It’s me, opening the last bottle of Cherry Coke I’ll have until Easter.
I’m giving up sugar for Lent . . . well “frivelous” sugar as I call it . . . no cake, cookies, candy, pop, ice cream, syrup, jelly . . . you get the idea. This is especially tough since Valentines day is right [...]
The Best $30 I’ve Ever Spent
OK, maybe not THE best, but it’s certainly up there! Can something you buy but never actually use be considered “the best” thing you’ve ever purchased? Let me explain. My 5 year old has been sucking her finger since the first time I laid eyes on her tiny bean shaped self on a sonogram . [...]
