its monday

9-26-11


I have not written a blog yet this morning which is a little unusual. I think I have just been sitting here reading random things because the boss is out. I finished my book (and am now unhappy I didn’t anticipate this by bringing another book in) and have read a few articles online. I also am on online overload because when you don’t have real access all week long, you tend to binge a bit.

I am rocking a pair of my favorite Tripp pants today. I am happy for a number of reasons. One, I am jazzed they fit again. Two, it means it is getting cold enough out that wearing these pants won’t kill me. I am actually having a pretty good esteem day today, which is unusual.

Today is the start of the fitness goal, so I am hoping to walk lots and lots today. I will go get the boys, and then I will probably do the Wii tonight, too. I didn’t do as much yesterday, which pains me, but it was for my own good. First off, I cleaned out a closet and worked on the playroom all morning. Even though I didn’t move around much, I did a lot of work. Secondly, I ended up icing my ankle a bunch because on Saturday afternoon, I aggravated my ankle. Luna and I did our walk, and on the way back, when I got to the end of our block, I decided to jog the rest of the way home. It was awesome, and I could feel my body yelling at me, and also I could hear my body cheering. The only problem was that my ankle swelled up a bit. Not a huge deal, but I have determined that I am not quite ready for jogging yet.

Soccer day was a blast. Dax’s team played a team that actually gave them some competition. They needed this, and you could see the Dinosaurs rise to the challenge. They were all passing much better, and working together as a team. I was so proud! We came back from a 3-1 deficit and won the game 5 to 4! Not that winning matters, but it was cool to see them working so hard.

Bobby played goalie again for a quarter. The Lazers were beating the other team pretty easily, but the only goals scored on us did happen when my kid was in goal. Thankfully, he didn’t care. Plus, he made an amazing dive at one point, which although didn’t result in saving the goal, it was impressive that he would do this. He may actually be goalie material. His only real issue is paying attention. He was in la la land. LOL! My favorite part of the game, though, was that one of his teammates, who is easily the best kid on the field, went up and told Bobby what a good job he did. I was impressed with how classy this was being that kids are often cruel to the kid in goal who let the other team score. Instead, Esteban was very sweet.

I think on Sunday I want to take the boys to go see Lion King. It will be a fun outing.

Saturday, we have two early games, with Dax’s starting at 9 and Bobby’s at 10:30. This is perfect for us because it means we don’t have to leave the field. It also means that after the game, we can go to my company picnic. I am not exactly excited, but there are a lot of people who will enjoy seeing the boys. Plus, there is a bounce thing and lots of fun kids stuff to do, so what the hell, right?

I get to leave early tomorrow because the boys start early dismissal on Tuesdays. Ken still is covering a class, so I get to go get them. Normally I don’t like these early dismissals but being that it is on Tuesdays, it works well for us since it is the day we go to my folks’. We can get homework done before we go and I don’t have to stress. I know, I should not stress, but I am just anxious to get to my workout. That lifting weights thing is hard!

It sounds like Thanksgiving is being spent at the Compound. This works out pretty well since it is really one of those few times we can go up. It also sounds like there will be a lot of excitement since there will be a new puppy there. My MIL is getting a puppy for Papa Brenan for his birthday, so this pup will be brand new that weekend. My dogs will be amused. Luna will have a pup she can play with, and Lycos won’t have to deal with it because Luna is handling it. LOL!

I am officially bored. Sure, I suppose there are some things I can work on. I just don’t want to.
