Words.

I feel like I have a lot to say.  But when I sit down, the words just do not flow through my fingers as easily as they flow through this brain of mine.  We had turkey burgers for dinner tonight.  I pulled the pre-made Jennie-O patties out of the freezer at 3:30p today.  I also cooked some Jennie-O turkey bacon to throw on them as well.  I wasn't sure how The MTI would react to them, as he is a (red) meat kind of guy.  He ate a bacon double cheese(turkey) burger and said it was delicious.  Great strides people.  Food is the one thing we can never agree on(he likes processed, nothing with color crap.  I like whole, homemade colorful goodness).

The oldest graduated from Pre-K today.  I cried.  He is officially a kindergartner and I am not handling it very well.  After his ceremony, he was dismissed for the day and we took him to go run errands with us, just him, me and The MTI.  We never get that time with him.  He found a wooden snake that he just HAD to have.  It was $2.  I was more than happy to get it for him.  I went into Victoria Secrets while The MTI drooled over sunglasses in SunGlass Hut.  I really want a new bathing suit and I have a gift card.  I also need perfume and a new bra, but was given specific instructions on what to use it for.  My friends are the best.

I have a post-op appointment soon.  I'm ready to be released, but not looking forward to the drama that may or (hopefully) may NOT unfold.  That's neither here nor there, though.

Tomorrow is the Short ones last day and we will officially be on summer vacation!  I am getting up earlier than I want to so I can hit the gym before he has to be at school.  He is having an end of the year picnic also that I need to go pick a few things up for and help transport some of the food to said park.  I'm not sure what I am doing at the gym tomorrow either.  I will have the Tall one with me and to be honest, I am scared to even attempt any kind of ab work.  I've got to get back into the groove.  I've been idle for too long and something tells me it is going to start catching up to me.  Which also means I will start packing on the pounds again.  Speaking of pounds, I have been doing a lot of late night snacking.  I know better than this and I also know I am doing it because for whatever reason, I don't want to go to bed.  Which is another reason I need to get back into my gym groove.  I miss my meetings with my trainer.  I will hit the gym tomorrow and do push-ups/ab work/arms in the mean time of waiting to be released.

I owned my self last weekend and went to the pool in a bikini.  I sent out a tweet, picture proof that I was indeed in a 2 piece, at a public pool.  It was liberating and weird, all at the same time.  I got toasted though, as my middle hasn't seen sun in 6+ years.

I will start a training program for the Rock N Roll Half here, after my post-op.  I can't lie, I am scared.  I haven't ran consistently since November(due to injury).  So in a sense, I am starting completely over.  It scares me.  But I have time to train.  All that awaits me is a new pair of Nike Free 2.0 and the pavement. I am more than ready to get this show on the road.  I WILL run a half before the end of the year.  WILL.

The flies here are driving me effing crazy.  They are huge and everywhere.  Combine that with a dog that goes in/out all day and 2 kids, I can't keep up.  They are gross, loud and obnoxious.  I can't stand this time of year.

I can hardly believe it is 9p.  My kids are outside playing with daddy.  It's time to wrangle in the troops, get them ready for bed and fold laundry.  Deuces homies!
