lufferly - 2009-04-28 7:00 PM We've had absolutely terrible weather over the last 24 hours. I live about 25 miles north of Houston and we've had about 10 inches of rain. My sister lives on the west side of Houston and had people canoeing down her street this morning. A lot of schools cancelled, but not our district. My friend from work lives about 7 miles further north of me and it took her 5 HOURS to get into work this AM as her bus got stuck on one of the HOV lanes which was flooded going into town. It took me about 1 1/2 hours. It's mostly sunny right now and very muggy, but still lots of street flooding.  They've been talking so much on the news about the weather today that I haven't even heard what it's supposed to be like the next couple of days. Hard to get very motivated in this kind of weather, so opted to cook a good dinner.

Oh Lisa, I feel for you!  I've seen the pictures on the news, and it's incredible.  We've been through that much rain before, and there is nowhere for the water to go!  I hope it gets better soon.

Any other month and I'd be there.  But with my HIM on May 9th, I'm looking forward to playing hooky for awhile after the race!

Hi Julee!

I ran this morning and finished off my 40 mile goal for April. I'm in two May challenges, the swimming challenge and my multisport challenge. It's bit of work setting up the teams, threads, and spreadsheets but I hope it will be fun.

Well, mother of the year award does not go to me today !
Did some hollering at dd for "fake crying" in the classroom again (big no no)........  my throat is actually hurting. Keep in mind this goes on in Soccer and anyplace else she is wanting attention/pity and the ignore her thing only amps her up.
 I even said the "do you want me to give you something to cry about for real ?" to which she looks at me like "are you nuts and shakes her head no".
Last night she would not answer me so I said "Open your mouth and answer me"  being 4 1/2 she literally opened her mouth wide and tried to answer me ! Sounded like she was in a dentist chair !LOL Ok even I caved on that one !
Soooo today I took the computer away, and her tv.  I have had it !!!  She likes playhouse disney games and Noggin.
At least tonight I go to rubber ducky swim club while DH has to entertain her ! (insert evil laugh here)

Girl Passing on Left - 2009-04-30 11:18 AM

wow....its ghost town round here!?

you guys ok?

 

Hopefully we're all out training instead of typing.

I did a funny thing this morning.  First, I put on a wetsuit that was too big for me because it's the only one I have right now, and I really wanted to get the feel for swimming in a wetsuit.  So I borrowed my dh's shorty and jumped in my little backyard swimming pool.  Then I hooked up my brand new swim tether to the pool ladder, and proceeded to be bored to tears for the next 30 minutes!  I do believe that swimming on a leash is more boring than running on a treadmill or riding a stationary bike, because at least with those other two you can listen to your iPod.  Well, at least I got some swimming in!

I'm around and about! We had a follow-up appoinment for my son's arm this morning. He's cast- and stitch-free. Just a wrist brace and sling. But, he's going to miss his class field-trip and can't play football until August! I'm thinking he'll be out there sooner, but we'll see. The dr. is really conservative - he didn't even want Nick back for stitch removal for another week, but Nick convinced him that some stitches wouldn't keep him in bed, so they might as well come out.

I'm going running a little later - my allergies are killing me though, so it will probably be a wheeze fest!

Oh - I'm planning to come by the multisport challenge thread, too, Nicole!

See you later,
Trish

Oh, Julie! You're so funny. I hate that sore-throat-from-feeling-guilty-for-yelling-when-I-shouldn't-have-but-I'm-not-gonna-cry-because-of-it feeling! Parenting is hard, hard, hard. I used to wish sometimes I could just spend a few minutes inside my little one's head so I could understand and not feel so frustrated all the time. She'll forgive you and you'll all move on to the next thing. Enjoy your time to yourself! And your swim! (At least you don't have to swim on a leash like Cheri!)

if mutlisport includes physical work and training in a day...I can join..but this month is going to be crazy with events I am setting up and running so...I will have to pass on this months multi challenge...training brcks will be few and in between and I would be kicked off the team. Next challenge Nicole...have fun..does look like a fun group!

YAY! good news on getting the cast off and stitches out. Hope you had a good run w/little or no wheezing Trish....was beautiful weather here even though they kept saying it was going to be overcast....tomorrow I am not so skeptical! ;-) is it supposed to rain there too?

that is really funny Julie! and Trish is right...she will forgive you

sometimes we have to put our foot or feet down and let them know that we are not TOTAL pushovers! kids like to test us adults/parents to see how far they can go.

Hope your day is a better one tomorrow! IT IS FRIDAY! is your husband off on the weekends?

Good morning!

I had a great swim this morning. It's so great to see all the work coming together. Hopefully I'll be able to keep it together in my cold water tri swim next weekend and cut several minutes off of last year's time.

If the weather cooperates I'll get in an OWS practice on Sunday. Anyone know a good "rain, rain go away" dance or incantation?

I'm accounted for! Took the day off to try to get my living room redo finished. Think it calls for a trip to Pottery Barn, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Garden Ridge. I got a 30 minute swim and 30 minute bike in at the gym this morning after dropping my son off at the bus stop. Just wasn't up to venturing out in the 82 degree mosquito infested humidity this AM for a run, but looks like the water in the lake has dropped enough to see the sidewalk again.

Hopefully Yvonne is having fun with her school kids and Karen's having fun on her cruise. As for the rest of us, looks like we'll have to continue to fit our training in between our work and kiddos!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Friday and a great weekend!!

morning...off for a swim...hope mine is as successful as Nicoles...not banking on it! but I must admit that I actually am liking to swim a lot more...no longer such a struggle and I feel like I could swim constant laps for an hour...when I remember looking back and going just 50m used to exhaust me! so there is MUCH improvement..now can someone help me with my oooh so bad form?

have a good day y'all and a super weekend, too! consider that your inspire! will try and visit logs next week!

Hugs!
