1. i have one of THOSE zits that hurts like a mofo and is just sitting there, taunting me as it causes most of the left side of my face to throb. i'm 38. i should not be having zits still. it's not fair, dammit.
2. i've started running on the treadmill at the Y. i am so NOT graceful that it is ridiculous. these wee, lithe women sprint effortlessly and silently along on their treadmills while i give the impression that a herd of small african animals are charging toward the watering hole. maybe i need new shoes??? yes, that must be it.
3. my kids have a puking virus. sam started it and passed it to jay and then five. and of the three kids--sam is the super puker. he woke from a dead sleep and went straight to the bathroom, puked, got a drink, and went back to sleep. no huge drama, no vomit onthe floor. just did his thing. he's 6. jay? puked all over the sunroom carpet, which required us to rent a carpet cleaner. he's 8. five? he threw up in a bucket and then proceeded to bring the bucket outside to show me and w. while we were at the neighbors. and then, later, after he'd thrown up again and made such a ruckus i was sure an internal organ had been regurgitated, begged me to take him to the doctor because he 'obviously' had a life-threatening illness. yeah, whatever buddy. he's 14.
4. if i get the puke virus, i'm going to be pissed off if for no other reason because i ate a protein bar today (EAS Advant Edge carb control chocolate creme) which was 1.79 and i'll be pissed off if i throw it up without getting the 21g of protein.
5. today is five's birthday. i am simply not old enough to have a 14-year-old child. i have acne, for god's sake. where did the time go?
6. i wanted some sugar-free ice cream last night and my kroger didn't have any. wtf? i can get edy's sf butter pecan at walgreen's--everyone's source for ice cream products-- but KROGER doesn't carry it? so now i get to pay walgreen's prices if i want to eat it.
7. my classroom is the biggest wreck you can imagine. it is going to take days to straighten thanks to blind, illiterate prisoners who put our stuff back in our rooms after the floors were cleaned.
8. where are all of my socks? where, where, where.
9. i have yet another skort with hidden, mystery shorts. it's very comfy--goodwill, thank you, a liz claiborne. this one has a much more complicated entry, but it looks like a cute wrap around skirt when on. i need a tan t-shirt. i've been wearing white, but tan would look better.
10. jay is the whiniest child in the western hemisphere--8-year-olds annoy me.

1. Ick. If it can't be popped, it's the worst kind of zit.
2.It's definitely the shoes.
3. Oh jeez, that sucks. Good for Sam though!
4. This one made me laugh. I think you should eat some fattening crap so if you *do* get sick, you won't have ingested the fat and calories.
5. Happy birthday, Five!
6. Sugar free ice cream? Can that be good?
7. Good luck with that.
8. Hmm, mine usually are found in DD's room...
9. I love thrift stores! I should post pics of my new shoes. I almost always wear shorts under my skirts, but I don't own any skorts.:(
10. I think 11 year olds are worse. Maybe 12 will be better? *crosses fingers*
Hope you avoid the puking virus!
1. Ow. I hate zits. Yet, I still have them.
2. I know nothing of treadmills. Or running. Or running shoes.
3. Oh ew. Keep it over there, mkay?
4. *fingers crossed you don't get the pukey ickies*
5. Happy Birthday, Five! And Kimmah, as long as you are over the age of 28, in many cities in your state, you are plenty old enough to have borne a chillun who is 14. *grin*
6. Did you know that most Sugar Free ice creams actually have just as many carbs as the real stuff?
7. Ack.
8. In the children's drawers.
9. Yay! Walmart has tshirts on sale for $5.
10. I'll trade you a smart mouthed 9 year old who thinks he knows it all, whines and argues for a whiney 8 year old.
The puking virus sure is getting around. It's even way up here in Michigan.
I have to admit, zits at our age are absolutely NOT fair! I get one every month. Just one, and I still hate it!
I have to admit, I was laughing so hard after reading #2 that the pukey stories didn't phase me at all! A friend used to say that sound was like "a herd of turtles" and just the thought cracks me up!
I hope your boys feel better soon, I hope you don't get it, and I wish Five a very Happy Birthday!
Acne is no fun. I still get them, too. My grandfather got them into his 90's. Looking forward to that: everything aches and then getting one of those horribly painful deep zits.
Get fitted at a running store for shoes. You could absolutely be running in shoes that are wrong for you. Worth the money for good running shoes; you'll save it in medical bills. Also, try adding yoga. The body awareness and core work will help you in every exercise. (I still laugh through every class I go. Who isn't going to laugh when the instructor says, "Rotate your nipples to the ceiling.") But I have learned how to hold the muscles throughout the body to support and take some of the strain away from the legs and lower back when running. It will help your form.
Had to laugh about the protein bar. Sounded like something Mike would say to me after an expensive meal.
I have never worn a skort. Really getting into wearing sundresses this year since my arms are muscular (not great but not the enormous flabby things they were before) and my thighs don't rub together. Love the breeze.
Going to Mexico next week. Trying to get to Nashville the following week if you have time.
