Get High

Let's face it, there are days when working out isn't going to be part of your schedule even if it is on there. That was me quite often last week.  Despite trying to do a 4-week fitness challenge, life just overwhelmed me and I couldn't dig deep or do any of that cliché "go big or go home" junk.  I just wanted to survive.  Over the weekend I realized I haven't run since the 8k and there is another one coming up just around the bend.  Except there was no way or where for me to run. It was time to get creative.  … [Read more...]

Where’s Mummy? Not at Game 2

I can tell I'm stressing out about the next week or so because I'm dreaming about things like heading to Game 2 with Sarah in an ancient VW bug. Did I mention that we have seats right behind the glass and just as we are headed to the deserted theme park where the game is being held (naturally) we lose the tickets out the window and drive into a ditch? Of course we do. Swampy, muddy mayhem ensues. We never make it to the game either. I don't even know who won. Can I call this a futuristic dream if this game hasn't even happened yet? I need some bourbon. The bottle should be this big- Sarah is clearly impressed. So while I'm freakin' out over dance costumes, deadlines, rehearsals and things that really shouldn't matter (like making cupcakes for umpteen-time rain-delayed soccer game and … [Read more...]

Watcha Wearing Wednesday

These last days of school are just F-U-Double L, FULL.  The kids are worn out from special activities, I'm worn out from crafts, baking and end of the year events.  At the same time I am a little sad.  Last night The Comedian had Open House at her school's Summer Science program.  It was bittersweet because it is her last year at that school. A place that has very much become a part of our world in the last five years.  When TD's first teacher remarked that our youngest, The Fifth Element, is the same age that TD was when she started out there I almost shed a few tears.    Onward! New school, new adventures, new memories and friends next year. WIWW Necklace by Jeweliq Shirt by Target Jeans by Forever 21 (similar) Sandals by Target … [Read more...]

Watcha Wearing Wednesday

It can be a bit of a juggle, a lesson in scheduling and patience to have a night out with a friend when you have three kids under 7 who all have activities, a significant other who travels for work quite frequently and a life of your own.  I wouldn't trade any of it.  Especially when the nights out include a wine bar, outdoor patio and a new friend, who is willing to snap some shots for the sake of the blog.  … [Read more...]

Scenes from a Weekend- 8k Edition

Run for the Dream to benefit the Achievable Dream, Wounded Warriors program was this past weekend in Williamsburg, VA.
