It 11 at night and I am sitting in the bathroom on the edge of the tub totally awake. Dude, even though 11 is the new 10 today, I should be at least a little bit tired! The 1:30 run with hill repeats in the down pour? The hour of jumping rope and lifting weights? Why aren't those kicking in yet? Or what about the glass of wine? That should help, right?
Looking back at my day I'm now wondering could it be the two clif shots during the run, each with caffiene? I'm wondering what kind of shots I've been using the previous two weekends since I haven't had this problem in forever. Could it be the venti iced decalf americano that I had after the gym but double checked with them to make sure it was indeed decaf? I haven't had sleep issues with that in the past. Or could it be the brownie, ok 4 brownies I had after dinner? All I know is it better get it's act together real soon because work in the morning is going to get here pretty darn soon.
But in the mean time, the weekend was good, a long swim that included 2x800 neither of which did I beg to be over while doing although I did get kicked in the chest by the old man doing breast stroke kick with a kick board in the lane next to me and wow there were a lot of snorkels in the pool that day. But after was a fun 2hr trainer workout with Leslie and Amy in the garage while watching JackAss and Nip/Tuck. It was quite fun, I hope they will join me again! and then the fun long run in the wind/rain through the flooding and all the hill repeats with Leslie, Heather and Melinda! So happy to have the company on that run, not sure it would have been so sucessful on my own.
But gosh darn it! I want to go to sleep. But I did go shopping on Saturday and although I did pass on the lack sequin short shorts that I know I will someday regret not buying, I did buy a tube top! Can't wait to wear it, might need a 2nd one as I have already planned it out with at least 400 combos with my current wardrobe, of course all paired with and covered by my black puffy coat because it is too damn cold all
the damn time.
ps this entire post had been done on my phone, I am wondering if it will actually publish correctly!

dude, oh so tired
its monday. the end of monday. the end of monday is better than the beginning of monday, even better than the end of sunday. but i'm still tired.
i'm getting a tan. right now. on the couch at 8:25 pm. mmmm, it smells good. hoping i don't get tan hands, too.
last night i didn't sleep very well. i was cold! burr! and every time i rolled to get warm i got super uncomfortable. hoping i am warmer tonight because i want to be well rested for my 3000yd swim tomorrow. yikes! 3000yds is a lot for me. a lot. and a run tomorrow, too. but i'm taking it easy on my run tomorrow so i can run extra hard on wednesday before i pump some serious iron. what? and jump rope for 10 minutes.
the weekend was really good. lots of workouts, in the sun! not the warm, but beggars can't be choosers. we rode out to the sultan bakery which was fantastic other than the hills. we saw 3 bald eagles, pretty sure two of them were trying to get it on, too. unless they were fighting? but do they do it in the air? if so, still don't know if they were getting it on or fighting, but 3 of them! how cool is that? and a crazy flat rainbow.
and i don't know how i feel about the kids, stepping outside when its 48 degrees and partly sunny and exclaiming "wow! it's so warm out!"

my kids love me, reall they do
first off, i have tendonitis in my ass and its eric's fault!!
i went to PT today for my back. its feeling better, more like just tight than injured so we are making progress, although she said i wasn't actually injured so much before in my back anyway, just tight. my right ass was sore, she took a feel and was just like, yeah, you've got some tendonitis in there. i was like, what? she says it could even be from just how i always sleep on my right side, hence, why its eric's fault. i sleep on my right side so he will stop breathing in my face while we sleep. and yet another case of sleep related injuries.
which brings me to our romantic evening last night! some people do couples massages, we do couples body fat testing! oooh, so fun! i've gone twice but i am feeling waay fat these days so i said i needed a follow up. and eric agreed to come with me! and bring the kids along, too. why not. so i went first and my fat wasn't nearly as bad as i thought it was going to be. but all those hershey chocolate nuggets with almonds are certainly not going unnoticed. after we went to the cactus and man, the whole family was famished. went through two servings of chips and salsa and everyone cleaned their plates in record time. nice one.
but as i was getting ready to get into the dunk tank, sirus said "this is good because mommy doesn't ever take baths". nice one. this was only a little better than the conversation we all had only a day or two before:
Sirus: some people have hair growing out of their arm pits.
Seamus: yeah! like mommy!
Me: what about daddy?
Sirus: no.
HEY YOU KIDS!!! I AM A SWIMMER! Leave me and my hairy arm pits alone!!
