at my limit

With this cold weather.
Seriously. Not feelin the love from Mother Nature...and nobody comment on trying to find the beauty in winter because I really don't care. Done. I am done with winter. Good bye! See you next November! Weather man says one more day...the cold has made me grumpy. And I need to put my children outside for a bit, as they are driving me insane when we are indoors every single evening. I can only do puzzles and games and sit on the couch and read so much!! We need to go for a WALK! Or a BIKE RIDE...or to an OUTDOOR POOL...or a PLAYGROUND...or to the CABIN!!!!
Whew.
Now that's off my chest, I did a bike ride last night...on my trainer...cause it's still WINTER...I did manage to drag my frozen self to the pool this morning. Getting the training in so that's good. A rest day tomorrow and then a hard bike ride on Friday as Coach Justin wants two hard days in a row. As in Friday and Saturday. Saturday is the Lesssing clinic and I was kinda hoping to socialize a bit...you know, catch up with some people I rarely see...but the instructions are to work very hard at the clinic. Dang.

I can't WAIT to hear all about your camp this weekend. Hopefully you learn lots and have a few laughs with your buds.

I am done with winter too -- I FRIGGING HATE IT!! And any blowhole waxing sentimental about can meet y knuckle sandwich.

You are going to have a blast at the camp this weekend. Just wait until you rock it out at the pool! :) :): )

Julie, that is so funny! But you'd have to be here to deliver it. We can have some Bernard Callebaut chocolate to calm you down after. And the choice of overnighting upstairs with the DVD's and foldout couch, or downstairs on the futon with the books and wine.

Kelly will probably come deliver the knuckle sandwich here, when I say there's no such thing as bad weather, just poor clothing choices. But I guess with kids it's harder. Maybe it was an earlier era, but my parents used to throw us out of the house after breakfast with strict instructions to not return till lunch, and better if it was dinner time. Year round.

Can't wait to hear about your camp, and seeing the photos of you and Jenna giving Simon a big wet sloppy kiss each.
