Women are Angels...
And when someone breaks our wings...
We simply continue to fly.......on a broomstick...
We are flexible...
It's just one of those days... too much to do, a grumpy boss and not enough time... Good thing I only have 1 more day to get through!
Last night went over calories with one serving of Fritos and 100 cal worth of bean dip. I was proud of myself for deciding that it was okay to go over

I packed a bag for tonight and I plan on just crashing at Mom and Dad's when I get to the kids instead of trying to load them up and get all the way home. I will be lucky to get to their house by 7:00 tonight, let alone load them up and get another 17 miles down the road by 8:00. Staying at the 'rents sure is a nice option.
It's snowing like crazy again. What a winter. I wish Matty was a little bigger so he could appreciate it more. He is happy to be home with 3 of his 6 uncles today. Schoo...

So glad it is my last day for the week here at work. We are expecting 3 - 6 in. of the white stuff sometime between tomorrow and Sat so it will be nice to not have any reason to be on the road first thing in the morning.
The babies are doing okay this week. Riley was crying when I left but I can't always hang out and calm her down. I do sometimes but I really wanted to be on time today. Tomorrow we will spend extra cuddle time together. Matty was pretty good. He was sitting at the low table...

Well, due to peer pressure, and the need to have a goal to work towards- I registered for a half marathon on May 1. It's a great track and it's only 13.1 miles and I need something to motivate me to start going again. I always do better when I am afraid of a race date. I have only shown up unprepared for one race in my life, and that was partly due to just not really understanding what I was getting into.
Lisa also wants to start meeting me on my turf and running with me on Friday afterno...
