irritated

I usually don't post when I'm irritated, but I just can't stop thinking about our training.  I think some people need to learn how to suggest ideas without being degrading.  The confidence that I had going into this school year was sucked out of me.  All that time sitting by the pool, reading, and relaxing this summer was gone in an instant.  My chest pains were back by Thursday and I wasn't even there on Monday or Tuesday morning.  I need a plan and when my head stops spinning, I will think of something.

Time to Ramble

Okay, so I finally made it to the dunes, in a car…  When does anything go as planned anyway?  It was a beautiful day and the boys had a blast.  We went with a bunch of friends and that makes life just grand.

I sent the twins to ride with their friends in a big, comfy van that had a TV.  I chose to ride with Harrison and his friend Ty.  I actually thought those teenagers would sleep on the way up.  Boy, was I wrong!

The next day we headed to the Navy Pier in Chicago.  We shopped a ton and then decided to go watch the new Harry Potter movie.  It was in IMAX 3D and it was awesome!

The bee, Mr. Bumbles, got some new friends while we were in Chicago.

Boston

I’m leaving for Boston in the morning.  I’ve never been there and I AM so excited!  There are two hockey shops that I want to visit and then I’m off to find a pub to watch the Red Sox play.  I really want to go to the Cheers bar.  I’m going to do every thing in my power to make that happen.

I’m also very excited to learn more about the Daily 5 stuff.  This conference better be amazing because everyone else is in freakin Vegas!

Goal

My goal in life was to NOT take a nap today.  It’s 5:00 and I’ve been nodding off since about noon.  I went on a bike ride to stay awake, but it didn’t help.  Pretty pathetic.  I need better goals.

bike ride

I’m supposed to start my bike ride to the dunes on Monday.  Harrison doesn’t want to go now.  He wants to stay home and go to football conditioning.  I was bummed at first, but I’m better now.  I wouldn’t want to miss any practices for my favorite sport either.  Now I’m trying to decide whether I should go at all.  A friend said that she would go with me, but I don’t know.  It’s just not what I had planned.

Harrison was freaking out today.  He swears that his dad did not feed him at all while I was in Chicago.  I was in Chicago for less than 48 hours and he says, that I was gone for 4 days.  I reminded him of the party that we went to on the 3rd, but he swears that he hasn’t had a decent meal in over a week.  I took him to Chipotle today and that shut him up for the rest of the day.  Teenagers.
