Good morning ladies...

Today is our testing day for the kids. I am hoping that both kids will finish today..Then tonight Chris has a baseball game...

Workout scheduled for today is Drill Max...

Chris: I read where you found the cell phone..Yeah!! I would wait to give it to him too..Teach him a lesson!!HAHA

Ok, time to wait everyone up....Talk to you later!!

 
Good morning!! You know you're up early when you're done with your workout by 5:35. Woke up, was wide awake, so I got up and did it. Another netflix -- Patrick Godeau Dumb Training. Has to be one of the dumbest titles I've ever seen.

Bet we won't double post this morning, Chris! But who knows. Glad you found the cell phone -- you are really lucky it didn't get lost and smashed forever with where it was! Did you tell him?

Joanne, how are you feeling? Hopefully today is a better day.

And Hottie, where have you been????

It's still sort of like winter here, though it's already 53 degrees, so that's promising. I guess it's supposed to be just scattered rain today and then heavier again tomorrow. Maybe that'll be it. I usually like this kind of weather, but I am feeling really dragged down this week. I don't know how much the weather has to do with it. I'm in a funk!

Oh, I had the funniest dream yesterday morning though. It was all mixed up with the Cathe postage stamp thing, I guess. I haven't even read that discussion, but since it's been big on both this forum and vf, I guess it was in my brain somewhere. Well, I was on a photo shoot (with me being photographed) with Tina Fey wandering around, and I told her I loved her show and that Larry calls me "Ms. Lemon" and indeed, in a previous life my name was actually Beth Lemon (it was!). I realize I'm wearing glasses and I have some sort of funky clothes on. Well, then I see some mom and kid are doing a photo shoot like me, and there's is goofy too, and I realize Tina Fey has been chosen to be on stamps (real ones from the post office) and she's thinks it's ridiculous, so she is doing trial photo shoots to make a really ridiculous stamp of herself, except she's not in it -- I am! And other goofy people are! It was very strange and funny.

Ok, that's my humor for the day..... Chris has probably posted by now and I owe her a beer.

Good luck with testing today, Kathy! :)
 
Hi ladies!!

Kathy, good luck to the kids on their tests today! Then you are all done with school for the summer? Awesome!

Chris, oh yea, I'd hold out with the cell phone for awhile too! ;)

Beth, OMG, what a funny dream! Really? Your name used to be Beth Lemon? Or was that part of the dream? Did you like Dumb Training. I have it, and have done it but can't remember if I liked it.

Yes, I am feeling better today. Not quite so tired and foggy. Although drama at home is annoying me. DH just totally blew up at Colin for something Colin said before he left for work. DH left for work, came back two minutes later to yell some more. Not a good way to end the night. Colin said something that upset DH and it was wrong, but not worthy of all that ensued. Ugh!! And, of course, I'm somehow to blame. Men! I swear mine has two distinct personalities.

Anyway, enough complaining! I did the Discount Workouts Adv. strength training again. Planning to run during lunch, but we'll see. It would be good to run off some of my hostility right now! ;)

Almost done with school for us. Just basically field trips and picnics till next Thursday when they are all done. We had Ian, Colin and Caitlyn all signed up for sports camp and day camp. We decided a few weeks ago to cancel them all and just let them hang out and do whatever. That way DH doesn't have to run them back and forth and I don't have to get them up in the morning before I go to work, too. Jameson is doing a soccer camp for HS, but that's in the evenings. He's also going to the Illinois Math and Science Academy for a week long program. We joined the pool, so they can do that, too. We'll see how this works out. Either it'll be great or they will die of boredom and drive DH nuts!

Procrastinating on something I need to do for work....I need some inspiration and it's not coming....

Have a good day!

Joanne
 
Hello Girls!!

Oh not even CLOSE to having a beer with you today, Beth! You were super early, I'm super late!

I wanted to get out as early as possible for a run this morning, because of the 90+ degree day + humidity we're supposed to have. I got out earlIER but not early. Jake had a restless night and told me he had a headache all night (didn't tell me this until this morning, though). He said he STILL had the headache and was very mopey. No fever. I got him to take some tylenol, and said when/if he felt better I'd bring him into school. The bus comes at 8:35. School starts at 9:00. he told me at 8:50, he felt better and was ready to go to school! :confused: . He still had to eat a waffle, but I got him to school at 9:05. Guess he didn't miss much! LOL!.

So *I* didn't get out to the park until 9:30a. It's HOT out there and my first HOT run of the season. It was harder. My HR was staying in the 160's for most of the run. probably close to 200 after my hill and stair sprint! . So I was DONE after 40 minutes. Well, 39 to be exact!.

And I was feeling pretty good, so I decided to go on a hunt for Alex. Do you guys have those "Silly or Goofy bands" there? They are thin rubber shapes like Dolphins, foods, airplanes, and the kids wear them around their wrists. Apparently they are the GOTTA HAVE IT NOW thing. They are all sold out. I told Alex I wasn't going to run around to all these stores to find them. Well, I went to 2. Walgreens had ONE package left (there are 5 in a package). The teller said a lady was JUST in that bought a whole bunch. :( . Alex and Jake are going to fight like crazy over this package. Crap.

I got back. Ate some raisins. Going to do some abs shortly.

Gotta pick Zach up early for a dentist appt (cleaning) and then he has papers and a baseball game.

busy busy busy, again!

Kathy: Good luck to your kiddos! Hope they finish today too! ... I was thinking about Drill Max yesterday, looking for a good circuit to do on Sat. Haevn't done that one in a LONG long time. Have fun with it!... Not sure if Greg gave Zach his phone back yet. I think he didn't. He certainly can go without texting for a few days!

Beth: what? a DUMB workout? That is very odd, very odd! What was it? Dumbbells? .. That is a crazy weird dream you had! I did read a bit about the cathe postage stamp. I hope I don't dream about it tonight! LOL!.... Oh I'd be in a WICKED funk if that weather was here. I barely survived ONE day of it last week!!! Hope better stuff is coming.

Joanne: Good workout plans today! Glad you feel a bit better. TOM is coming up for me this weekend. ugh. Oh we have drama between Greg and Zach here ALL the time. He tends to be super hard on him. Most of the times he deserves it, but others he really is unreasonable, and doesn't drop it. The interaction between them really grates on my nerves sometimes. ... My boys tend to not want to sign up for summer activities that much. Maybe swim lessons. We usually do ok just being bums. Maybe a few weeks of camp. And then we have vacation. Little things here and there. I so do enjoy staying in my PJ"s and bed longer in the summer time!

Need a check in from Hottie! Are you out there??
 
Chris, great job on the run! I do not do well in the heat. Do you bring water or is there a water fountain at the park? I've never heard of those bands. I'm sure my kids will be asking for them soon. Maybe I should keep a lookout for them here in case they get popular. I'll grab a couple packs for you if I see any! Glad Jake is feeling OK and made it to school. Good timing! Probably just missed the pledge of allegiance. ;) Do they still do that in school??

I know, we should send Hottie on a hunt for those bands - then she'd stop in and chat with us!! She needs a shopping challenge!

I did go do a run on the treadmill during lunch. Did an itread for 3.5 miles. Wanted to go outside, but it's too hot.
 
Hey again...

So hot, but I'm kind of enjoying it, for now. Greg took Zach to his BB game, i delivered newspapers with the other 2 and then we went to Dunkin Donuts and got icey drinks! :eek: (no, no donuts).

Joanne: I have cold water in my car and there are actually drinking fountains in the park, if I need them. I rarely stop though. Once in a while I do if I'm thirsty. I drank a LOT today after my run! .... I do believe they do the Pledge of Allegience still! And he might have missed that.

This is what the "Goofy bands" look like: They come in little plastic packages of 12, with different "themes". Apparently I got the package with the DRESS UP theme (kind of girly, but that's all they had!)

OMG guys you have no idea how bad the rollercoaster has been for the last couple days. My personal and professional life decided to both throw a shitstorm and me to make some mondo hurricane of shit and the weather pattern is finally letting me die to actually CHECK the forums. If I have time tonight i'll update you but I should have time tomorrow.

Oh and...
