#insaneroastrip day #9

Wow!! It's hard I believe it's already closing on day 9! We had a bit of a leisurely morning and ended up at the pool. We were actually all changed and ready to go within an hour. That's 6 kids 10 and under and 2 mommies. That must be some kind of record. They had so much fun in about two hours.

Lisa and her brood



Here's Sass. She figured out a new way of having an inflatable swimsuit top.




Then it was home for lunch.




The kids spent the afternoon hanging out in Lisa's girl's room watching movies trying to stay cool. Did I mention central Texas is *really* hot in June? Today? 99* but throw in the heat index and it was 109*. Did I mention that it hadn't gotten above 70 back home before we left? Ugh. I may be melting.

For dinner Lisa made yummy tostadas and burritos. Oh.my.yum.




Throw a little salad on the side and it was delish. After dinner we loaded up the kids and went out for ice cream. Not sure if that was a good idea as the sugar sorta freaked them all out. But it was yummy. Just ask Little A.




Right now we are sitting on the back porch enjoying a margarita. See?




Tomorrow I'm getting up early for about a 3-mile run on one of Lisa's paths. Then we get on the road for a 7-hour trek to Elaine's in Louisiana.

I will see you all back here tomorrow for an update on #insaneroastrip Cajun style!

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!!
