kaqphin - 2009-01-18 7:17 PM Aaw Im sorry Jen - I hope it isnt too stressful for you or Griffen

Right now, I think I'm more stressed out about it.  I feel like I did something wrong, even though that's probably not the case.  I just feel like a bad kitty mom.  

Griffin will not be so happy about having to go to the vet and be on medicine.  He has to go in soon to get put under to have a dental cleaning and exam.  Then, he'll have to be on antibiotics, but I hope that he'll start feeling better and not having problems with his mouth. 

Not sure he will link the felling better with the vet but hopefully it will just become a routine for him!!!

 

Im sure its not anything youve done... just one of those things!

Um, question.

I was invited/encouraged to come to Wisconson.  Would it be too soon to address the subject?

I am trying to work out my race schedule and thought that if I do go to wisconson it would be fun to do a race-Dave is the one who introduced me to tris and I am sure that he will be planning a few races this summer.

So I checked out races in the area that coincided with my school breaks and there are a few that would work. 

here is a draft of the email...

So, I've been updating all my calendars and I am figuring out my schedule through August. 

I will be all set for an Oly when June rolls around. 
If I am going to be doing any traveling this spring or summer it will need to be during my school breaks:
March 27th-April 7th
June 24th-July 6th
August 29th-whenever I decide to tackle the rest of my basic classes.   Blah.

I'm just throwing out an idea here...
What if I combine travel and the oly and register for a race in your neck of the woods?  I don't know what your school schedule is like...classes vs vacation...or your travel plans, but there are several tris in the Madison area the last weekend of June.  

And then there is your bike...how soon do you want/need it.  The stuff under my bed is going back up into the attic this weekend and the space will be vacant.  If you are ok with waiting that long checking it as baggage would be an option.



opinions???

Mel - why dont you just call him? Might be quicker to work it out over the phone?

Just give him your dates, say youd like to see him and ask him if he fancies doing a race while you are there...

Add the bike as an after thought in the conversation...

Mel, I think that's fine.  It sounds like you're asking now so that you can plan your races and see if you can find a race there.  I don't think it's too soon, especially because he knows how races go.

Thanks for the input gals.  I hesitate to call him because he is really busy tracking down an apartment, enrolling in classes, etc.  Plus he has a crazy sleep schedule.

I figure he can get an email when he has a spare moment.  But who knows, maybe I will hear from him or give him a call.  We have a series of emails coming and going that I can just tack it onto.

Then just do that - if he has asked you to come then its not an issue to say you would like to and give huim your dates so he can get back to you!

Yup. We are baby sitting tonight so that they could go out. Emma (1) is already in bed. Owen (newborn) just was fed and hopefully will fall asleep soon. Aiden (5) and Evan (4) are play Wii with Frank. So I cleaned the kitchen and the dishwasher is running so I thought I would pop on for a brief moment.

My back is sore today from picking up grandchildren. The little ones aren't so bad, but the 4 & 5 year old are getting a bit too big for grandma to pick up and carry around for very long. Even on my back.

Umm yeah...5 year olds are HEAVY!!!! You might just have to set up 'no picking up rule' after the age of 3!

I agree. The 4 yr old loves to football tackle you. Luckily he yells "football tackle" before he strikes so you have a chance to brace yourself. His Daddy finally told him that football tackles are only for Daddies and not for grandmas. Thank you!

Yes. Baby Owen gets a breathing treatment twice a day, but other than that he is doing extremely well. Both of the parents are very very tired. But I have a feeling with four kids age 5 and down, they are going to be tired for the next several years. LOL

Yeah, but it is kind of hard on the rest of us. They get snappy with each other and we have to witness. But then all is good once they get it out of their system.
