This Week

It's been a whole week since I last blogged, but it felt like forever. I guess I just don't have that interesting of a life to write about very often! There were a few times I got an idea, but just didn't get on the computer to blog about it. One of my recent posts was regarding my new running plan, which I successfully completed... the first week of, anyway - haha! I hurt my ankle about 1/2 way through day 1 of the second week (which was last Monday) and I still can't walk normal. I had high hopes of becoming a real runner, but at this point I'm thinking I may have to just be a "walker", which is still better than doing nothing. So I didn't do a whole lot this last week. We did make it to the pool twice and today I took 3 of the kids to the park and splashpad (oldest son wouldn't get out of bed) followed by cherry ICEEs for everyone - have I ever mentioned how much I looovvveee ICEEs?! Well I do :)

Hubs is working side jobs today and tomorrow, but at least we'll have Monday all together with the holiday. Our little boys have never been to see the fireworks displays and daddy really wants them to be able to experience it this year. I'm not thrilled with the idea of keeping them up that late or the task of finding somewhere to watch the show amidst all the drunks with 2 boys who don't like to walk nicely with mom and dad. And I can't chase them very well with my bum ankle! I suppose 4th of July fireworks is an all American tradition that even my little monsters should be able to take part of... we'll see how it goes.

The only other excitement lately is that our plane tickets have officially been booked for our tropical vacation next January - WAHOOO!! Hubs still says he doesn't really want to go *he wants to BE there, just not FLY to GET there*. He'll have to cowboy up when the time comes because we ARE going!
