2011 - A Day In The Life - Week 22

As I sit down to post this week's pictures on the eve before #insaneroadtrip, I'm wondering how I will survive! :)  But I know we will.  And we will have fun.  Despite the crazy moments.  I am going to try and post if nothing else a couple pictures from my phone each day here and then maybe do a big summary of different pictures for the whole week of those I take with the good camera.  I hope you're along for the ride because it's going to be a crazy one.  You'll see some familiar faces here throughout my trip.  Well, familiar if you you've been reading for any length of time.  And without further ado...this week's pictures.

Sunday 5/29
My swimmer girl at her first long-course meet. 
She swam the 50m backstroke and 50m freestyle.

Monday 5/30

T found this shirt at Kohl's. It made me giggle. 

Tuesday 5/31

My sweet T waiting with me. 

Wednesday 5/31

The day started out like this. 

and ended like this. 

Thursday 6/1

Freshly cut hairs. It's shorter than I think I wanted, but I'm going from those crazy temps above to Phoenix and 100 degrees.  I'm scared. 

Friday 6/3

Sweet Pea on the train ride at the Nevada Train Museum for her last day of school. 
I love this face. The look in her eyes? 100% her. 
She might scare me some days. 

Saturday 6/4
Me, post my first real trail run. It was amazing. 
Read about it here.

    You will most certainly survive #insaneroadtrip and at the end of June I will welcome you with open arms and a big glass of STV lemonade.

Tell It To Me Tuesday - A letter

...to our Nation's daughters.  That was Jade's challenge this week.  I have to admit my first reaction was that this was going to be easy, I've got three of them living under my roof.  But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I didn't want to write something fluffy or silly just for the simple fact that I have three of them under my roof. So here goes nothing. To the Beautiful Daughters of Our Nation: This world you now live in is so different from the one I grew up in.  High-end technology when I was just starting in school was a VCR.  And they were big.  A night out as a family usually meant McDonald's, and we loved it.  I love that my parents allowed me to be a child and to have fun and be silly and to have few responsibilities.  I sure had fun.  But I realize now that maybe I had it too easy.  I say this because I am constantly telling my own daughters that life isn't always easy.  That you must work and someti...

#insaneroadtrip day 17

Wow! It's amazing what happens when you sleep for 8 hours one night and 9 the next! You can cope with heat and humidity and sun and crowds and traffic. After enjoying a nice yummy breakfast (I had an omelet) we packed up the truck and headed out of Granny's place and off for the big city. We were meeting Thea at the Air & Space Museum and rode the metro in the north. The metro used to scare me, but not so much anymore. The maps are pretty too. We left T at a corner where he turned towards Starbucks to do homework and not hobble around in his boot. We went the opposite way towards l Air & Space. The last time we were there the girls didn't get to see a lot of it because we ran out of time. After a pitstop in the bathroom I spotted Thea. Yay! Roomie! The 10yo was excited to see all the Apollo stuff since she did a research paper on it at the end of the school year. I took pictures on the real camera but not with my phone so no fun pictures there. I refused to make i...

The wind is howling

Literally.  And a storm is brewing.  We are slated for up to 8 inches of snow.  (I just looked that up. And I'm not happy right now.)  I have a 14-mile run tomorrow.  Mmm. Not quite sure how that's going to work.  So tomorrow may be less crazy than originally anticipated.  I can't trudge through 14 miles of 8 inches of snow.  It shall be interesting because the storm is supposed to hit tonight and lighten up midday tomorrow and then hit again Saturday night through Sunday midday. This marathon training business is hard work.  Only time will tell what the weekend holds in the way of a run for me. So for now, I'll head out and cram as much as I can into this morning and this afternoon.  Birthday party tomorrow for the 8yo!! Let's get this show on the road!!
