A sleepy destination...

Today we made it to the beach. It was a long, sleepy trip, but we finally made it. We left last night at 10pm to meet our fellow traveleds at bass pro shop in Harrisburg. After a quick coffe/energy drink stop, we were off. Frank drove first, and he went half the way, fueled only by energy drinks and caffine. I managed to squeeze in a 30min nap in that first half. We made our first rest stop around 330am, and frank was done driving for a while and ready for a nap. I took over the reins and made it until breakfast break, which was almost all the way there. After a nauseating breakfast at the waffle house, frank took back over and we made it to the beach. We were supposed to be able to get in our room by 10, but when we got there it wasn't cleaned yet. After a lunch break and a lesurely walk around ocean isle on the beach, we finally... Ahem...broke in to our house, and I mean that litterally. We spent the good part of the afternoon in our private pool. After an at home dinner, we're off to get some ice cream...followed by kiddie bedtime and then adult swim.

Happy 4th...

Since we'll be at the beach tomorrow, i'm posting this today...

Daddy finally caved!!

Just call her "Pretty in Pink"

It's all mine...

Today is my birthday.
To some, it's just another day...to me, it means another year older.
Not that that is all that bad of a thing.
I'm not really all THAT old just yet.
But the days go by faster the older you get.
Oh well...here's to me!!

A step in the wrong direction??

So this morning i was painting my toe nails, and Mady was watching eagerly. Of course, i told her one day while she was napping i would paint her toe nails so she could match me. Frank, being the over-protective dad that he apparently is, jumps right in. "You can't do that!", to which i obviously asked what's wrong with it, i mean really, it's just nail polish. This is the comparison he makes so i can understand his point of view better. "It's like an older kid saying, It's only marijuana mom, i wont do anything worse!". Seriously?! He is comparing toenail polish with smoking marijuana!

One heck of a workout...

So this week I started the "max" part of the insanity workouts. All I can say is wow! The first 4 weeks weren't that that bad. They had their tough moments, but I could handle them and still manage to get a good run in. Then week 5 came up, and it was the rest week. It was a pretty good week, which consisted of lots of stretching and balance moves. And then...dum dum dum...week 6 happens. I'm only on day 2 and I am so sore! The workouts are twice as hard and twice as long. I am actually achy in my arms and legs. So much so that I haven't even run yet this week! I even took a nap with Mady today! I'm hoping that tomorrow will get better and I'll be able to get a run in.

Just call me the stain whisperer...

Yesterday was quite a day. Not only did we have a baby shower to go to, but i got to practice my new found stain fighting powers.

For breakfast, i made pancakes. Frank, of course, has to have chocolate chip pancakes...but for Mady and I, i make blueberry pancakes. Of course, Frank is a huge slacker when it comes to watching his daughter eat (he's too worried about stuffing his own face), so she ends up with blueberries all over, and of course, on her pants. But not to worry, i actually got it out!

Then, while we were at the baby shower, it was beautiful outside, so we spent some time out in the front yard. Well, Mady being Mady, she has to run as fast as she can. Well, needless to say, she takes a tumble onto the grass on her knees and gets a grass stain on her capris. Now that's 2 pairs of pants today that she's gotten dirty! Oy! Well, at least i got the grass stain out!

I feel a new sense of power. Stains beware, dirt steer clear...never fear, because the Stain Master is here!
