WHHAAAAAAA......

You know when you hit the alarm (at 5:30am) several times until you realize it's almost 7am....*%$# I guess I'm not working out and then you jump in the shower the kids are up - breakfast, lunches, get ready, bus, sitter....class at 9:15am......#@*& there's no school and you would have known at 6am, but you were drooling on your pillow soooo the kids aren't going to the bus stop and while they're jumping for joy.....*&^% now what????? Thankfully, the sitter down the street was able to come for the day - Thank you God! Headed in for classes - light, but to be expected with the weather - all did great! I had a hair appointment at VCS - I don't care if there is a tornado I DO NOT CANCEL the hair appointment - ever, especially after last week and the comments made......I pulled in and almost drove my minivan over Darlene - who knew it was BBOM day at VCS - so fun???? We looked sweet with our foils - HOT - funny cuz people pay us to get tortured and we pay stylists to do crazy stuff with tin foil!!! I left feeling on top of the world - things are turning around....I zoomed (on my doughnut in the snow storm - hair first - priorities) to Gateway Tire...they are damn good....they said it would be 45min for a new tire and of course I had to get two because yada yada yada no tred and I thought yea right as the waiting room was packed....45min on the dot (talk about service) they wheeled my kettlebel red beast around the corner - paid and on my way - Impressive....I got home and the kids were all good and the sitter in Tact - even better.....I had the night off from work and errands and sports and homework - PARTY - Things are looking up!!!! If you're reading this can you do me a HUGE favor and write a review on www.dragondoor.com for me (go to find instructors, scroll to bottom to RKC Instructors in the United States, click on my name, enter your email address and write)???? I will be hounding everyone in class starting tomorrow...the powers above (in kettlebell land) do review these and I only have two to date (thanks Greg and Molly)....I would really appreciate your help! I WILL NOT be turning the alarm off tomorrow....gotta kick it into high gear to make up for today!!!

Back To Reality

SOOOOOO Sorrryyyy! I'm finally back in the swing - WOW!!!! We had a great time in Maui - surfed, beached, burned, swam, hiked, drove, ate, drank - Good times, good times that went too fast!!! We were on a red eye last week at this time - definitely glad I have a bed to sleep in this Monday....Got back to reality and work and laundry and snow and bills and shoes and coats - Why OHIO I ask - of all places in the US???? I was glad to see the baby (missed him like crazy) as he and the dogs were with his Aunt, Uncle and cousins in Michigan. We are in debt forever I believe.....It took me most of last week to attempt to get back to normal (understatement). My partners said I had until today - God Bless you! Unfortunately, I think I'm back in the routine I was able to digress from for 14 days - sure wished everyday was a vacation - wouldn't we all!!!! I did miss everyone (just not Ohio and the weather) and believe it or not my bells! Bob and I borrowed Darlene's pack weight for the trip. It was a great workout, but definitely not the same. Thank you to all of you who stayed dedicated to KB as well as to Molly and Darlene who covered for me - I really appreciate it! Last Thursday and Saturday were a little light, but we kicked into high gear tonight with 4 brand new - 24 in total.....that's a lot of iron - you guys rock! I'm still driving around on a doughnut - flat tire at 9:30pm last Thursday after the girls night out promotion - WELCOME HOME - did I mention a snow storm blew in and I waited for AAA for 1 1/2 hours....I'm hoping to get that fixed tomorrow.....I also had three people ask last week when I was due.......I'M NOT PREGNANT MY TWO PARTNERS ARE....That really sucks, especially when you think you're in decent shape - ok I know I'm bloated from vacation, but come on......Oh Well I'm the proud Mother of three GIANT boys who did a number on my 5'3" body - abdominal wall no more!!!! My next life I'm marrying someone really small (I love you BOB but you're too damn big - grandma was right).....When my GIANT boys are on full ride scholarships or playing pro ball someday I'll be able to laugh, but right now it's not funny!!! If I'm pregnant I'll tell you, please don't ask or I may knock you out - LOL!!!!!

The Count Down

I was a bad girl - skipped 2 days of blogging!!!! Saturday was fun - excellent classes and great effort by all....I spent 1 1/2 hours on my hands and knees washing the black ugly dirty annoying mats - came in Monday to streaks - didn't think they could look worse? Who knew? Sunday was a nice family day - catching up on odds and ends - trying to prepare for the trip....We leave Thursday afternoon - can't believe it - very excited....Maui here we come!!!! Lisa was ditched by her group so I had her all to myself - she did awesome - called me names....By the way, she sells Creative Memories....sold so much this past year she and Gretchen are heading to Maui in April! Lisa showed me these amazing ditigal books you can create online - very nice and reasonable! We had a nice size class at 6:30pm - 5 brand new! Everyone did extremely well....Doug stopped in to pick up his collage by Sherry Brown! Doug you look great - so nice to see you!!!! Safe travels on your way back - we miss you. Thank you again for everything.....I had 4 new ladies at 7:30pm - they looked frightened too death and not happy to be there, but when it was over they all rang the bell with pride!!!! Excellent Work Ladies!!!! Weight Loss Challenge kicked off 2/1/08.....40 participants in total.....Grand Prize $400!!!! Will it be you??? What are you waiting for????

No School Today

I drug my butt out of bed at 5:30am to go to Molly's 6am class - I REALLY wanted to stay in bed, but was glad I made it in....we did some really tough things including 2 different circuits....Tammy makes me laugh, Emily says it how it is and Marcy is Marcy.....the roads weren't really too bad, but we soon found out the kiddos would be home for the day! I headed home, showered and prepared for the day...the boys were disagreeing by 9am and unhappy about the chore assignments - REALLY? What do you think Mom does all day - feet propped up eating bon bon's - they laughed and said that's what they would do -LOL! I had the VCS girls at 10:45am - very proud of Jeanie for coming back - she did awesome! Deb is so strong, Colleen is worried about the muffin top and Stacey the back fat - LOL....we had the place to ourselves so many trips down and back we made - see saw, swings, lunges....TRX bands - foam rollers - oh my.....Headed home for lunch, housework and phone calls....Alex had a soccer game at 6pm in Lodi and then Bob, my parents and I headed for Rabbits Foot for dinner and a Mona Vie meeting....This young dude from Florida, named Glen, flew up to present - WOW was he impressive.....a great speaker - very inspirational - learned a lot! This is Good Stuff - Mona Vie - tastes good and making a huge difference in many people's lives - it's hot....everyone should be on it without a doubt....If you want to feel great, have more energy, sleep better, lose weight and help fight against heart disease, cancer, diabetes, etc. you should really take the time to check this stuff out - Invest in your health/body, you owe it to yourself....Thank you Shellie for not only coming to the meeting, but for joining our Mona Vie Team - You are going to be great and I'm proud to be right there with you....
