So the zoo was fun and the chinese food lunch was yummy. Unfortunately lunch left me feeling uncomfortable and terribly guilty. Then I come home and proceed to go out to the Macaroni Grill for DH's birthday dinner. Normally that would NOT have happened as I would have INSISTED on a clean dinner but it was DH's day and his choice. I wasn't going to say no. 'Sides, I didn't want to have to cook anyway!
Needless to say I need to clean up my act in the food department for the remainder of the week somethin' fierce. The weekend is lookin' like it will be FILLED with bad food as well!x(
So in between the zoo trip and dinner I actually was able to squeeze in 30 minutes of the SWAT Extreme fat burning and weight loss DVD. I am sure it did little to offset the day's horrible eating but it helped me deal with it from a mental standpoint.
Today's plan is to hit the TM for a run...CC here I come! I may even do a KB work out at nap time too. I also have to stop by the school to drop off Joey's registration for pre-k and head up north to get a dup of birth certificate for registration. I can't find it and I was SURE I knew where it was! ACK! x(
Okay, that's enough rambling on for me.
I'll do personals this afternoon!

Hi girls
I hate to be the downer here, but I have some more tragic news to report. Snoopy died yesterday. I'm so heartbroken that I could barely sleep last night. She was outside on her dog cable and was on the retaining wall and apparently jumped off it (it was only about 3 feet) and her cable got caught between two bricks in a tiny part where the molding was starting to erode and hung herself. She was only out there for about 10 minutes, and when I went to check on her I saw her dangling from the cable. I got her down and did CPR and got her breating again but the vet wasn't able to save her. She was responsive at the vet office but was really lethargic. I'm soooo full of guilt that I want to just jump out of my skin. I never even thought that could happen. The crack doesn't seem big enough for the cable to even settle into and it had wrapped around the back end of the brick as well - so the combination of where the cable had settled was lethal. It was a freak accident, but I just feel so responsible. Poor Cam is just beside himself. Cody doesn't even know yet since he is at a friends house.
DH and I just talked over the weekend about hiring a mason to do some stone work on the house and I told him I wanted something different done to the wall as well. My heart is just bleeding.
So sorry to bring you all down, but I had to get that out. Thanks for listening girls. :-(

Hi Everyone,
Angie-I am so sorry to hear about snoopy. My heart goes out to you and your family. I'm sure the boys will be heartbroken all over again. It was an accident, there is no one to blame here. {{{HUGS}}}
Wendy-I can't believe you ate out twice in the same day. That doesn't even sound like you. I hope DH had a great birthday and great birthday dinner! We used to take the Cody and Zach to the Zoo all the time when they were little and they loved it. Jerod on the other did not like it at all. His comment was "all we do is walk around and look at animals all day long."
Laura-How was the swim last night?? I'm so jealous. DH has always wanted a pool in the backyard. We've never really priced one but I'm sure it would be quite expensive. The marathon is October 19th.
I missed my 5 mile run yesterday so I did that this morning. Today called for a 3 mile run but I decided to the 5 miler so I wouldn't be short too many miles. I have BC class tonight and I'm sure we put in 3 miles of running. I don't depend on that on a regular basis, but in a pinch I count it as a short training run.
Time to hit the shower and head to work.

(((((BIG HUGE HUGS))))))) to you girl! DON'T BEAT YOURSEFL UP OVER THIS! I know it's easier said then done but really, you said it yourself. It was a FREAK accident! Things like this happen and it sucks but you didn't do anything wrong! These are the types of things that NO ONE would forsee happening!!! Something similar happened to DH's friend's dog. He was on a lead tied in the house somewhere while his owners were at work. I can't remember exactly where or how he did it, but ended up hanging himself in a freak accident as well. Again, no one would have foreen it happening. You can't possibly protect them from EVERY little tiny thing that could go wrong. I KNOW it will take time but PLEASE try to forgive yourself and realize that it wasn't your fault. (((((HUGS)))))

Hi Diana!
Enjoy BC class tonight. Good job making up your 5 miler this morning. Yeah, I am not a fan of eating out mutliple meals in one week let alone in one day! LOL Oh well, we do the best we can. Still got LIVE, right? I feel I made up for it with CC 7 this morning though. All previous food guilt was GONE when I was done with that work out!}(

Hey girls
Thank you both soooooo much for the kind words. They mean more than you'll ever know. I just can't stop thinking about seeing her like that and knowing it was my fault. I still have knots in my stomach. I know it was an accident and in time I will accept it, but right now I'm having a hard time doing that.
Cam and I went and got another pup today. She's a bigger dog and seems more subdued than Snoop. So far she has been very well behaved and seems like a snuggle bug. She's never been inside before so she's whinning b/c she's confused. Maybe we shouldn't have acted so quickly, but we were hoping it would minimize the pain.
Anyways, thanks for listening girls.......I hate to bring news to the table that is so sad.:-( I have no energy and I'm not eating or working out. It'll take me a few days to get over it, but until then I'll pick at some food and take some time off working out. We're supposed to go camping this weekend and we probably still will, but I'm not looking forward to it. Heck, I don't even want to pack the camper. But, maybe it's just the thing we need to start healing.
I'll try to check in before we leave tomorrow, but I don't know if the site will still be up. We're going to visit MIL tonight so I may not be able to get back here. Hope all of you girls have a great weekend. And thanks again!!

Ang, You will heal in time and if you need to vent in the mean time we are here. Don't even think of apologizing for telling us. We wouldn't have it any other way! Vent as much as you need to! I don't mind crying on my keyboard! When I wipe away the tears I am cleaning it at the same time! LOL Anyway, I feel so badly for you. I wish there was something more I could do!!! Is the new pup a Beagle too? Have a name yet? So yeah the forums are going off line tonight at around midnight so that they can get the new site/forums up and running! I sure hope it's up in the early AM for my daily routine but somehow I doubt it will be. :-( I may actually have to WORK OUT tmrw morning before work! OMG, the horror! :7 At any rate, whatever it is you decide to do this weekend, try to have a good time and get your mind off your troubles for a little while atleast....

Oh my goodness...Wendy shared the awful news with me, and I had to come over and express my sadness about the loss of Snoopy.
Ange, your post brought tears to my eyes. I am so, so sorry this happened. Please know that it was NOT your fault by any stretch of the imagination. You cannot blame yourself for not having total control of the universe. Unfortunately, tragically, accidents do happen.
I hope you can maybe take some comfort in the fact that you gave her all the love in the world while she was in your care, and you did everything possible to save her. There is nothing more and nothing different you could have done.
I completely understand not wanting to eat, work out, or go camping after such a devastating shock. But I think you're right, forcing yourself to do some of these things may help. Do whatever you need to do to heal. I hope the new puppy brings some warmth to your heart as well.
Lots of (((HUGS))) coming your way. Remember: you are not to blame. Your friends are here for you.
Much love to the entire Cabber crew!!!
