1 in 3 to go...

My Little One is getting her 2 year Molars. Ouch! The top left one broke through and the bottom left one is so close to breaking through. I feel so bad for her, the pain must be unbearable. Supposedly they say that an adult would not be able to tolerate the pain of getting teeth without major pain killers and poor little kids get to have Tylenol and Orajel! Whoopi-doo! Let's just hope that her molars come in fast, not just for her, but for Mommy and Daddy's sanity!

Oops! She did it again...

She went and done it again! My Dad's wife "The Witch" didn't show up to my sister's house yesterday for my Dad's Father's Day dinner. Supposedly she was too depressed because she still hasn't found a job so she stayed at home painting and cooking a Father's Day dinner for her son. I think she should just suck it up and smile. Hell, we all have to do it once in awhile. I can tell my Dad is tired of it and tired of making excuses. I wish he would just come to his senses and leave her. He doesn't need her, there is someone out there much better for him, I know it. I wrote her a letter about not coming to my house but now I have to revise it since now she is avoiding my sister's house too. I don't want to start trouble for my Dad but she deserves to know how I feel and where she stands with me. Most of all she is letting down 3 grandchildren who look for her and ask my Dad every time "Where's Nanny". I'M DONE WITH HER!

Oh I forgot to mention. While my Dad was with us "the witch" called him twice to get him home because her son was trying to get the treadmill out of the basement by himself. So my Dad had to hurry up and leave!

Unofficially Summer

I saw my first lightening bug of the year last night. To me that marks the unofficial start of summer. Just like seeing the first Robin marks the unofficial start of spring.
My fondest memory of lightening bugs goes way back to when I was just a little girl. I was staying on my Aunt's farm for the weekend. We caught a whole jar full of lightening bugs and I wanted to keep them in my room with me. Well they got out during the night and were flying all over the farm house. I laughed so hard at watching my Aunt running around trying to catch all the bugs that I peed myself on her steps.
I still like catching lightening bugs, but I found that it has gotten harder! Seriously, try it and find out for yourself.

Bye Bye Buffett

Sadly since I will not be attending the Jimmy Buffett concert again this year I decided to change back to my old template. I am so bummed. I have been looking forward to this show since last year. I wasn't able to go last year because my little one just wasn't old enough for me to leave her all day with someone. And the year before I went and had a great time but I was pregnant so I couldn't have a really great time. So I was really looking forward to it this year.
Why aren't I going? Well I been having some stomach issues and the last place I want to be is at a concert were I will have to wait in a very long line to use a port-a-potty! Not going there. I haven't eaten since Sunday and it is suppose to be hot/humid 84 degrees on Saturday. Other reasons are my babysitter is also having stomach problems, she is taking care of her Mother who is bed ridden with sciatica pain and her high school friend's father died and his funeral is on Saturday. So I have lots of strikes not to go this year again.
Sorry, Jimmy I will miss you! Maybe next year!

Let There Be Light...

Thanks to the storm last night Dave and I sat in the dark from 7:30pm until 2:30am. When I was a little girl I loved when the power went out, probably because I didn't have cable TV, AC, or Internet so if the power went out it was just another night except I got to light all the candles. So what did we do? We sat on the front porch for about an hour watching the storm, then came in and sat on the couch and looked at each other. Then I came up with a wonderful idea of watching DVD's on the laptop. So we watched a couple episodes of Two in a Half Men until the battery died. That's when I decided to go to bed. Which wasn't a great idea. It was so hot even with the windows open, then the neighbor down the street had a generator running, the dog was panting because she was so worked up and hot, then the little one woke up at 2am and came in to bed with us. At one point I woke up and the little one was laying sideways with her feet in hubby's back and head in my ribs. So needless to say the hubby and I didn't have a good night sleep at all.
All because the power went out.
I guess I should count myself as one of the lucky ones because there are people who still don't have electricity. Hubby went to work and got sent home because the whole office was out, and my boss called to tell me that I can't work because our office is without power too. So it was a day off in the middle of the week.

He's Back...

Look who is back the one and only, BUDDHA! Supposedly this blog is to chart his runs so he can see his progress so it is a healthy, runner's blog. I give it 2 weeks before he starts to blog about body functions again. But no matter what he writes it should be entertaining. So is there any one out there who wants to place a little bet on how long the blog stays a running journal?

My New Workout

I created a new workout for myself at the gym. I think I perfected it today. It is basically climbing a hill. I get on a treadmill, warm up for 2-3 minutes, then increase the incline every minute. Once I get to the incline of 8 I increase it every 2 minutes until I reach 10. That takes about 16 minutes. After 2 minutes at the incline of 10 I start to decline 1 every minute which takes 10 minutes. So by the time I'm at the bottom of my make believe hill I have already been walking for 26 minutes. Then I cool off until I do a total of 30 minutes and about 2 miles depending on the speed. I did it at 4.2mph and 4.0mph. I thought it was going to go by slow because of consistently watching the time but surprisingly it didn't. The best part is that walking hills targets your thighs and butt, and that's were I need the most help. So I figure if I do this every other day or when I don't do spinning I should be in good to go. Something different!
