Morning All...
First off...you need to visit my friend Vanessa's blog. I love how she creates...when I grow up I'll create like V! ;) She's such a sweety....I'm lucky to have her in my life!..she is currently doing a RAK...so check her out:

Around my house...well both Summer & Zoe woke up in the night to barf. I'm SO GLAD they are old enough to know to go to the toilet to barf and not in their bed's anymore! :) Harley had the 12/24 hour flu over the weekend with his dad....so I guess it's my turn :( They are both staying home from school...which puts an end to Summer's perfect attendance....I tried to push her to go cause I'm competitive like that...but then quickly realized that's not such a good thing to do! lol
Me...well didn't get to run yesterday...so I am doing it today! The sun is out....and I'll look just fabtabulous hurling myself down the road...I'm sure of it! ;) (enter sarcastic grin) I'd sure like to find my creative mojo...it's taken a vacation....it will come back....I"m sure of that too ;)
Some other stuff is on the horizon...but can't share just yet....yes this is the line in my post that gets you to come back and check me out again ;)
cheers

Sunshine
Doesn't it just make you feel great to be out in the sun! I love it. Not that I mind the rain or snow or whatever else winter brings....but enough is enough and I love that the sun is out! Makes me want to put on a flirty skirt, go out and enjoy everything that sun brings! :)
The second half of the week has been better than the first! lol....no more sick kids....
I actually took them to Nanaimo again to see their cousin's one more time before they go home to San Diego. We sure miss them....only get to see them 2x a year :( But when we do the kids really enjoy each other!
Today...like I said the sun is out. The kids go with their dad this weekend...so me...well tonight probably a couple drinks with the girls....then some cleaning around the house weekend! Maybe a date or two ;) I wish! lol
I have decided to have a different approach to my photo albums. I am going to print off from January 2009 till now and get those caught up. I am tired of not scrapping current stuff....so I'll do that and then catch up back photo's. I'm not really that far behind...only 2.5 years so it's "do-able" :)
I'll keep you posted as to the weekend adventures! lol
cheers

ouch....
Well running today lasted all of 5 minutes....then my stupid shin muscle went into lock down...I hobbled home...and called Kris. She said more salt! Ok Ok...so here I am eating pickles, olives, cheese and pickled beans....food of champions! lol
So on the weekend I went to beer fest in Port Alberni....for a girl that is not supposed to drink beer (gluten) I did pretty good....hurt the next morning and I had some cramps I haven't had in a long time...but I held my own :) Not that I will be running out drinking beer everyday!
The kids slept over at their Uncle Rob's sat. night....had a hoot with their cousin's....I picked them back up Sunday.
All and all a good weekend...
So far this week:
Zoe got a mysterious rash on her face...stayed home from school for two days
Harley has an ear infection....stayed home from school today
Summer is healthy
Me...well that is debatable.... ;)
Last Dodge ball game tonight....oh and the kids are going with their dad for dinner tonight...so before Dodge ball I'll go out for dinner with Tamara...girls treat :)
Blog ya later ;)

cheating....
People cheat when they are unhappy and don't have the voice to say it. That is my assumption on the matter. I am just flabbergasted (word??) at the amount of people that cheat. I am not saying I have been perfect my whole life...I haven't...but I do know that cheating comes from unhappiness...
So is it too much to ask that people start talking again....remember my previous post about my friend who decided to communicate and give her marriage a try...why can't everyone do that? Yes again...I know...but I did try...for me it's not right. This new story I have to share goes a little like this:
So I find out from a friend that I just met in Port Alberni...that his ex is dating a guy here in Courtenay....turns out it's the same guy that is dating my good friend here in Courtenay...small world. So I had the great pleasure this a.m. of informing her that she is not the only one dating said Courtenay guy....you can tell when some one's heart is breaking. Did you know that?? Yup..it's in the eye's. You can see it. Breaking into small little pieces....like I trusted this person and they are doing what?? Then an unfortunate thing happens to some of us women (maybe men don't know) we go into make it better mode....if I just do this....or if I just say that...it will all go back to before my heart broke into 1000 pieces....not so much. So he is now saying they weren't exclusive....well I hate to tell ya buddy I have heard the stories of your non-exclusive relationship with my friend and YOUR EXCLUSIVE DIP SHIT!....you don't do what your doing with more than one person at a time. It's rude, ignorant, insensitive and just plan old stupid! So after I told her and broke her heart....yes nice thing for a best friend to have to do hey....I could see her go into "make it better mode" and I need to stand beside her and remind her (unfortunately from example) that we can never make it better....all we do is make US look like the fools! I say it's time to call the fool the fool and call us the fabulous! I will remind her of this daily until she is thru it. I hate this part of life. But I gotta say...it's reminding me to not be what I don't want to be :)
So talk people....talk to your partners....talk to your family....talk to your friends....get those emotions and concerns out...cause keeping them inside clearly doesn't work....for anyone! Cheaters and Cheatee will be better off talking!!! Trust me!
Well hopefully tomorrow's post will be a happy subject....

more random...
I just finished having one of the best chat's I have had in awhile! I don't know what it is, age, experience, or just plain old sick and tired of bs...but I am just so open now...and it feels great. Not like I go and tell all the scary details of my life to just anyone....just the one's that will sit and listen for a bit.
So in today's conversation we covered alot! Holly man alive. Don't you just love those ones. We talked about how she is putting her marriage back on track...they have decided to put themselves back on the "to do list" ;) ;) I'm so happy for her. I know I know...but you all know my situation is different...anyhow...I'm so happy because I am finding lately in having open conversations with people that we all just get off track. We get off track with ourselves...we get off track with our partners....then next thing you know we are a train wreck!
In putting myself back on the track lately I can honestly say it feels good. And isn't feeling good the basis for everything. Please show me one person who feels great about themselves that is in an unhappy marriage...really...don't sugar coat....or show me one person who feels like shit about themselves who is in a great marriage...again...no sugar coating....we are all too old for that my friends! ;) So if we put ourselves back on the list we can't help but be doing our relationship a favour right?? Or in my case doing my future relationship a favour. ;)
Getting back on track can be anything...like I was saying to my gf....come on girls...it's spring...put on a cute skirt...some cuter than heck shoes....and go out with a bounce in your step. It feels good...gives you that "feeling" back inside like your a woman! and you matter...and your worth it...and someone just checked me out...omgosh I'm hot! That is what I'm talking about...and how the heck would you not carry that over into your relationship?? If I had someone at home and I came home feeling like that...boy oh boy look out Mr.! :) So give it a go girls! Feel good...feel healthy...feel alive!
I for one know that if I die tomorrow I lived full out today!
Signing off...to go hurl myself down the road...I mean run....then feed the little people....then baseball! Living full out! ;)

Random....
Today feels like a random thought day....not sure if I should take medication for that or not...but whatever! lol
So Danielle is doing this cleanse thing...you know...drink lemon water with some real yummy stuff in it (sarcasm) for 10 days....crap yourself silly....and be cleaned out at the end of it. I often think about doing a cleanse...but you know what I sure like food. Don't get me wrong I'm always watching what I eat and trying to loose weight....but no food for 10 days seems a bit extreme. Her newest addition to her family, Rob, the "husband" is doing it too. I love this guy...not as much as I love Danielle of course....but I love him. He is open with everything...on his facebook status today it says "Robert Rand is on day 5 of the cleanse and day 4 of work... my pooh smells like lemons!"....you gotta love a guy who is happy and excited to share that his pooh smells like lemons! So will I do the cleanse....probably not.....and my excuse will be "it's too hard to not eat when I'm feeding three little people all day long"....that would be like freaking torture no??
What else do I have to share today....hmmmm.....oh right....the running....is going well. I am not sure if it is because I am running (aka hurling oneself down the road) or because I don't seem to eat as much lately...but I'm loosing weight! yeeehaaaa.... Maybe it's just cause I FINALLY feel for once in my life like I am in a good space. You know...happy with myself...enjoying myself....just a good "me" space. So the running...today will be day 5....in a row...I can't remember the last time I did something for 5 days in a row...I'm an instant gratification kinda girl so after 2 days most things are old and I move on.....but I want to try something different...stick to it so to speak. I won't be running tomorrow as it's Friday...and that would be like a sin to run on a drinking day....and I won't run Saturday because I am getting my hair done in the morning and going out of town in the afternoon....sunday...well that will depend on how Saturday night goes....So I will run today...even though I really don't want to....but do I ever??
Tonight is my first ball practice....which means I need to go under the house and find my ball bag....wonder if the cleats are rotten?? blech....so...need to get gear out and go hurl myself around the ball field for an hour or so.....maybe there will be some new cute single guys on the team....doubt it...but hey a girl can only wish! ;)
I'm sure I will be back with more ramblings....not sure if anyone but V or Cindy is paying attention....but hey...better a small audience then none at all right :) Hi girls! :)
Later Gator!

Spring!
Is here....look at this beautiful things I got to wear today:
I wore them with a yellow skirt and a white t-shirt....I had an extra bounce in my step that's for sure....and must say...got a few winks ;)
So I ran AGAIN today......I got a bit winded today...not sure if that is because I didn't have the best night's sleep or if it was because I ran a little bit faster than normal....things aren't hurting as bad as the first few days!
Dodgeball tonight.... :) I love being active....and not thinking about my life! lol
cheers
