Hi ladies. I'm here, just checking in late!! Wanted to get my workout in before I checked in. I was afraid I would say I was going to do it, not do it and then have to come back and say I was a wimp!

So, I had planned to sleep in today and run during lunch. Of course I woke up at 4:48 am and couldn't go back to sleep. So, got some laundry done, made lunches, did some more picking up around the house, ironed. It was weird not being rushed and ready to leave when DH walked in the door. Anyway, I did itread 11 - 40 minutes on the treadmill. Wow, that was a tough one! No walking breaks! Well, I took a few, but I had to or I would have keeled over. I really need to build up my running endurance again, especially since I signed up for two 5K's in the next month. What was I thinking??
Beth, I haven't tried any of the Bosu workouts yet. Did you get the big discount? I'm so glad they offered that, cause it's just two discs packaged together. $100 seems way, way overpriced. I might try Keli's sometime in the next couple days. Mindy's scares me if it's anything like her other two Bosu workouts! Hope Travis is feeling better soon and that you don't get it! Sometimes those flu bugs are just 24 hour things. Hmmm...a stretch sounds so nice! I'm feeling really "unstretched". Any news on your mom? Keeping her in my prayers...
Chris, ya know, I've never done that extended stretch. Need to try it. I know, you are going for a run on your birthday, right??

When do you expect BBL to arrive?? Oh, I love Robert Downey, Jr., too! Always thought he was hot!! I, too, would watch anything with him in. So glad that he has gotten his life back together. Wow, lots of baking going on in your house. Must smell really yummy!!
Kathy, oh, I hate it too, when the kids don't do well in sporting events. Only because it makes them upset. Sometimes it is just excruciating to watch. But if Chris pitched really well, he should be proud! Stop the other team from getting runs is just as important as scoring! That sounds like a long car ride! At least there's no toddlers or babies to entertain! I remember those days - ugh!
Colin's soccer team won again last night. He scored the only goal and of course, I missed it.

I couldn't get there till the second half. He has another game tonight. Then his travel soccer team is in a tournament this weekend. He has a game Friday night, Saturday and two on Sunday. Why do they schedule these things on Mother's Day weekend? We don't have any plans, but I want to do something with my mom. I'll probably skip the last game Sunday. No CCD, though!! Woo-hoo!! Tomorrow morning is Colin's student of the year breakfast. He is very excited. DH was joking with him that he could rent a tuxedo. Colin was all for it. I was like, "um, no".
Well, we had a burial for Antwoine last night (our fish). This is kind of gross, but I had put him in a plastic bag yesterday on the back porch. Well, it was really warm yesterday and you can guess what happened. He got a bit, shall we say, ripe? We had all our kids out front and the neighbors from across the street. About 12 of us. Jameson dug the hole. DH carries him out on a plate and everyone was like "ewww" and holding their noses. It was really quite comical! I stayed far away when I realized he was not smelling like roses.

He was about six inches long and quite fat in his day.

The kids took turns piling the dirt on him (while holding noses). I wouldn't be surprised if something dug him up overnight - I forgot to check this morning.
OK, sometimes I don't understand kids. Colin has been complaining every Wed. morning when he has to get up early for morning band. Says he hates it - doesn't want to go. I mean, writhing on the floor crying type of complaining. I told him just finish out this year, you don't have to do it next year. So, yesterday I ask him if he's sure he doesn't want to do it again next year. He tells me he wants to do it. What?? Crazy kid. Next year will be two days a week of writhing on the floor complaining he doesn't want to go!
Must go now before I bore you all any more!!
