Good morning ladies...

We had a BIG thunderstorm last night...Wow, the rain and thunder and lightning were outrageous!!! Anyway, it looks ok out there this morning. We have nothing going on today. I need to do laundry and some cleaning. That is about it...My workout today is Body Max 2. That one is a toughie. But, I like it..

Ok, talk to everyone later. Hope you all are doing well today!!

Hi Kathy, and all! Happy Friday!! W00T!

BM2 is tough -- especially that double upper body premix -- I always think of that when I think of it. Good luck with cleaning -- crazy about the weather! Looks like it's finally going to be gorgeous here today, though only to 70, which is actually fine by me! Perfect!

I probably missed posts from yesterday -- it was a crazy day as predicted. The open house was fun! Got to see the middle school and meet some teachers -- the science teacher was letting the 5th graders shoot rockets off and that was a huge hit of course. And then we went over to the elementary and Dylan was so cute. His teacher gave each of them a clipboard with a list of things to show their parents and he took his job very seriously. So cute! Times like those you just don't want them to grow. Travis couldn't care less about showing us his stuff -- he stayed outside the whole time showing off on the pogo stick he brought along. They had a guy their playing a steel drum -- it was very festive, but where were the rum drinks?!

My workout! Yes, I did one today -- it was an upper body mish mosh. Started out with Barry's Boot Camp Code Red, which I got in a trade and I'm realizing I got ripped off cause it's a 15 minute workout that I traded for an hour workout. Oh well, I wasn't doing that workout anyway!! It was intense -- combo of one minute sessions of cardio and upper body things with band. Then I did a round of a myohymytv.com workout called "shoulders and core" and then I did some random stuff with my weights and tried to polish it all off with some Tracy Anderson arms which totally fried me at that point and I couldn't finish it. Like I said, mish-mosh!!

I'm so happy it's Friday finally. Have a great day!! I'll try to go back and see what I missed yesterday afternoon....

Hey Girls!

Got a sick one home again today: Jake. It's so hard to tell with kids, isn't it? Last fever was last night before bed. No fever this morning. He tells me his throat hurts, but I see NO redness or anything down there. Sometimes he gets this hoarse cough too. So I'm keeping him home for now. If he miraculously feels better, I may take him in (but I doubt it).

Hottie: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to you and Joe!!!!

You had better find a little magic today to celebrate! k? ....But, Wow. You sure have a BOATLOAD going on there. You made me LOL @ being your boss' bitch now! But I'm so proud of you that you got the funding! You must really be good at what you do (I always knew that!). You should be VERY proud of yourself!!!!.... I have issues with my hips too, I swear. My hip that extends into my lower back. It gets SO tight there sometimes.....

Kathy: Did your storm come in the middle of the night too? I hate that! You can't sleep during something that loud and scary!!!. You go with Body Max 2!!! that is a long one, but when you're done, you feel SO accomplished!

I really wanted to run today, but with Jake home, can't. I just don't feel comfortable going. (Even though Greg is home upstairs, sleeping). I'm going to run to the grocery store, though. So that will be enough to make me nervous. ...

So no run, I think I will do tomorrow's scheduled workout, the original Bootcamp. And then tomorrow, just do a short cardio.

*waves* to Beth and Joanne! Will catch up with you girls later!!!

Off I go!

Chris, can I have some of that drink, too??? Looks yummy! Oh, poor Jake. Hope he feels better soon.

Hottie, wow, what a day you had. I'm so sorry. Good for you for convincing your boss to continue to fund you. Awesome. Like Chris said, obviously you are great at what you do and he recognizes that. Oh, we had a pool for our dogs - one of those little kiddie ones when we first got married. Actually I'm not sure why we had it but our first dog just loved to sit in it. When we moved into the house we have now it had an above ground pool. We had those big foam mats. Our dog was the queen - she'd hop on that mat and float for hours. I have some great pictures of her in the pool. Unfortunately our retreat was mandatory. Glad it's over!

Jameson made it home safe and sound and sunburned from Great America. Seemed like he had a good time. Getting information from him lately is like pulling teeth! He had a friend over after he came home, so I learned more from them talking about it. Tonight is the 8th grade dance. I scared Jameson by telling him I was going to chaperone. Oh, the horror!! Mom might actually see me dancing with a girl!

Happy anniversay to both Chris (and Greg) and Hottie (and Joe)!!

Beth, that is quite a mish-mosh!! I think I have the set that Barry workout is in. How sad is it that I'm not even sure?? I'm pretty sure I do have it, but it's not even opened. It's the one with the goofy bullet shaped ball, right? I know, I look at old pictures of the kids and think awww - they were so cute and innocent! I'm treasuring these times with Caitlyn where she wants me to be everywhere with her and is so innocent cause I know it will be gone before I know it! The boys are growing up so fast. I just want to stop time sometimes!

Oh, my workout. Needed something fun so did TurboKick.

Hey again girls!

I did indeed do Bootcamp. Thought for a MINUTE I thought I'd might do something off the Terminator, but stopped myself before I killed myself! LOL!. I never remember how much I enjoy that Bootcamp! Goes quickly, in and out, go go go! But I found something I hate more than planks. SIDE planks. Those KILL my shoulder!! And if I've done shoulder work the day before, no WAY I can last a few seconds in that position. Hate those!

AND my legs have some pretty good (not horrible) DOMS from yesterdays P57 and Plyos.

After my workout, Jake asked if he could go to school. he said he felt good. No fever , and just a tiny cough. He said his throat didn't hurt. So I took him back! I mean the kid SAID he felt good, so he better not have been fibbing! At least they're off until Tuesday if he's still sick.

Beth: THAT sounds like a wicked fun , diverse Mish Mosh!!! And great upper body work. Bet you'll be sore tomorrow!. ... I know how you feel about wanting to keep them young. I adore coming into Jake's class and having his face light up to see me. The other 2, not so much. Especially Zach. They'd both rather be with their friends. that part sucks, ya know?

Joanne: Of course you can have a glass! Cheers! ... Thanks for the anniversary wishes! I'm a little bit bummed. I know I shouldn't be. But we're pretty much not celebrating. I hate leaving the kids with a sitter , because they're with a sitter all Sunday. And I don't have someone I really WANT to watch them. Maybe next Thursday we'll do something. ... Glad Jameson made it home safe and sound! Zach has very similiar activities coming up. Next week they go to 6 Flags with the band. All day. (which is only 1 town over, which is a bit comforting). Then they have the DC trip (i'm nervous as HELL about that!). Then the week after, the 8th grade dance, AND a day at High Meadows. Which is like a class picnic. I got the notice yesterday listing all the activities. All outdoor stuff. LOTS of stuff. PLUS, they're serving buffets for breakfast lunch AND dinner ,.... aND they said they'd have food available ALL day. Wonderful. I hate the thought of Zach pigging out like crazy, HATE it. Last time he did that, he threw up when he got home off the bus. In the driveway at least. .... Oh , and *I* could puke thinking about him in HIGH SCHOOL next year. ..just sayin'! .... YAY for fun Turbokick!!!!!!! Good one to pull out! did you see Turbo Fire will be available to order June 18th? Can't wait!

better get my act together. cleaning and cooking!! joy joy!

Finally back... went to happy hour with friends after school -- the perfect way to begin the three day weekend!

I haven't done Boot Camp in forever! Joanne, how is it I am not at all surprised that you have that Barry's?! Whenever I feel guilty about how many dvds I have, I feel a little better thinking that you have at least as many.

You guys scare me with your Great America stories! I cannot imagine!! Happy Anniversary to the couples -- Chris, you guys should definitely do something on Thursday! Hottie, were things any better today? You did have a hell of a day yesterday, didn't you?! Congrats on the funding!

Turbofire looks pretty promising -- I may be getting it, even though I'm not a fan of turbo jam.

 

[bitmover]

Oh, p.s., Chris, I absolutely hate on the side planks, too.... that's got to be the worst thing for me and I nearly always skip them! Just can't do them!
