Good morning and Happy Monday. Happy Columbus Day, Happy Thanksgiving, etc. 
Kathy, enjoy your recovery week! Let us know what cardio you do today -- always needing "new" cardio ideas here......
Joanne, I did just see your post now -- good to hear from you. Sorry about the DH troubles! It is so hard sometimes. Hugs! Funny about the formal clothes reaction. The quarterback situation is tricky! I can't remember if you said -- are both kids the same age?
Oh, so I ended up getting that bosu workout, too. That's the one I was hoping I could modify, but Mindy said I should just buy a bosu. The other one is Workout! that I did and does not really need a bosu at all -- she shows modifications. I really liked that one. I tried two places yesterday for a bosu and both were out -- one place said there must have been an infomercial about them, because everyone was coming in buying them. Strange! I'm going to try again today -- I'd really like to do that workout tomorrow, if possible.
No luck at the pound, which isn't surprising -- it takes a while. We were at two different pounds all afternoon -- feels like such a waste of the day! Did I already tell you guys this? I can't even remember! Anyway, woke up this morning to evidence of a rodent problem and Larry and my first reactions were both "should have brought home any cat." It's a pretty typical problem where we live and it's not made any better by Larry leaving the door wide open for hours at a time!
I didn't sleep well and then had strange dreams to boot. I think Chris was in one of them! And I woke up to a dream that we were evacuating because there was a fire close by, and I couldn't find anything I needed to make sure we didn't lose in a fire!
Chris, I totally concur with Joanne -- I don't think you should have guilt feelings at all about not going on that DC trip. Perhaps the people in charge need some education as to the risks. Boy, in California I would think the schools would want nothing to do with trying to supervise that situation on their own -- imagine the lawsuit if something went wrong. That's how we think here! Seriously though, stick to your guns and don't feel bad about it. He's still a kid and wouldn't necessarily make the right choices about it, right?
Oh.... my workout! I pulled out kickmax for the first time in a long time, and did quite a mish-mosh from it. I started with the blasts, but only did about half of them, then went back to the combos (because I wanted a real kickbox feel), but realized that was going to bother my shoulder, so only did two combos. Then I ended with the leg drills, which are really just more barre work! I had totally forgotten that that's really what they are. She has a nice long stretch at the end of that one -- I want to try to remember that.
Have a great day, ladies!

Quickie check in for me today...
Greg took Zach on their first day of delivering newspapers. And I have time for a shower, hopefully going to go in search of some pumpkins/apples and then go out to dinner...
I started Week #3 of STS , which was DISC 7, Shoulders, Biceps and Chest. THIS is the one with a zillion push ups! I'm like "Get OVER the push ups anytime now, Cathe!"!!! This is the one with the first "Elmos". Talking about shaking!!
I read your posts, but don't have time to type more now, I'll try to BBL!
Happy Columbus Day! (got paid time and 1/2 last night, baby! Gotta love it!)

HI everyone..
Well, I took the kids to the track for cardio today. I ran almost a mile and walked half a mile..I didn't think I was going to do anything today. My sore achy body is left me with a headache and I just feel so tired and drained...No other symptoms. So, I am not sure if maybe I am coming down with something or not. But, I haven't felt this way in a long while..I just took some tylenol in hopes that it will help the achyness..
Anyway, hope everyone is having a great day and it looks like everyone is busy today..
Beth: Oooh a Bosu! I have often thought I might want one of those.

Hey again...
All showered, the "paper boys" are still out. I'm thinking this isn't going to work for going hunting for pumpkins. I'm sad, because we usually do it every Columbus Day, but with Zach's new paper route... kind of screwed up our afternoon time. *sigh* I didn't even tell the boys about getting pumpkins, I didn't want to disappoint them. Maybe I'll bring them to the grocery store later! They actually have the best, biggest pumpkins around. Locally, pumpkin growing wasn't great this year.
Kathy: It sure sounds like you're coming down with something. Do you have chills or a fever? It sounds like how I felt when my body ached so bad, and i kept thinking it was DOMS, but it wasn't... it was the flu coming on. Take care of yourself!! ... You're on to Meso 2 after this week. I think I remember the push-ups are pretty much history in 2, aren't they?
Beth: You should have "saved" some kitties at the pound! I'm not a fan of mice in the house. It's one of my irrational fears that freaks me out. I remember when we had one, I could hear the thing scratching in the walls all night long... *shudder*. Wish I had cats then, they would have had a BLAST with the one that was running around our living room that morning, as I stood on the counter WITH the boys (I made them come wiht me) and SCREAMED horror movie screams at the top of my lungs!! .... You certainly did do a mish mosh of workouts today! The leg work in Kickmax at the end is tough!... LOL @ your weird dreams. I'm not surprised I was a part of them!! LOL!.... YAY on getting the Bosu workout. I bet you could find one at Amazon, if no where else. Or do you have a Walmart? They have site to store thing which is pretty cool. ....
Joanne: Sorry hubby has been giving you problems. I was ready to ring Greg's neck last week too. There's a problem of me doing everything around here that gets under my skin. I mean, I know he works more than me (outside the house), but I can't do it all, mentally and physically. ... Don't get me going! Hope things get better there for you, though!.... Football sounds exciting there. OMG, quarterback would be sooooo cool. I know you'd feel bad about the other kid, but it's not your decision, right? .... Hope Jameson had fun at the high school! Maybe he'll surprise you and decide he LIKEs dressing up!
They're STILL not home. I'm sad. Maybe I need to plan something to eat at home now. Fack!

Probably too late with a reply here, but just in case..... Kathy, I agree with Chris -- it sounds to me like you're probably coming down with something. I actually wondered about it yesterday when you wanted another rest day. That's not like you!
Chris, too bad about pumpkins! I was wondering when the heck we were going to get out for pumpkins..... we have a place we really like to visit, but it's kind of far from us at this point (we found it when we lived in SF), and our weekends are so booked these days! The kids have no school Friday, so I could take them then, but Larry would miss out, unless he cuts out of work. Hmmmmm.
A paper route? Is that what's going on? Wow!
I'm not a fan of the rodents in the house, either!!! We can't get cats tomorrow because we have a dr. appt. Wed. we have a playdate coming home with us, Thursday piano. Maybe Friday.....
I got the bosu today -- play it again sports. The kids were so excited to see it. Well, I brought in all the groceries and stuff from the car and then noticed we still had some chairs out that will blow away tomorrow in the wind that's coming, so I went back out to take care of that. When I got back in, the boys had unpacked the bosu and pumped it up! They are so crazy. So, I may do that workout tomorrow, though I realized that today was cardio and I have a yoga from netflix I want to do and send back, so I may do that instead.
When I was picking up at school today, the power was out. Turns out the big city bus that brings the high school kids home (and anyone else) had its brakes fail and hit a power pole. Fortunately no one got hurt (somehow!) but power was out in a huge area (not our house!) and traffic was being re-routed way out of the way.
Speaking of power problems.... there's a chance I won't use any dvd for a workout tomorrow, because there's a chance we may be without power. If you don't hear from me, you know what's going on!!
Kathy, rest up!!
