Ouch!

The next time I try to "challenge" myself and give myself "extra motivation" on my walk and make finishing the entire walk (including a mighty steep hill at the end) the condition upon which I can reach my car and drive home, please hit me over the head with a frying pan.

Because I think it would hurt less.

I think next time you should have a gallon of Ice Cream waiting for you inside the car. First of all you would have to walk faster so you could get to it before it melted and second of all, it would taste really good after a nice work out.

Aaagh. I'm sorry. I walk everyday and am intimately familiar with The Walk That Went Too Far. Hope you're feeling better. :)

Idiot. *snort*

Morning decision? Cause morning decisions are always the stupidest I believe.

Well lesson learned. Now walk over here the frying pan is ready.....

You should probably repeat the same workout today. That'll work the kinks out. I feel your pain though!

I'm afraid I can't make you that promise. Do it again today! You'll be the better for it. If it didn't hurt, it wouldn't be doing much good.:-)

Now drop and give me 20!

Corky is right. Ice cream...and a few dozen Advil.

Definitely Advil, but don't forget to pat yourself on the back. With any challenge comes a bit (or a lot) of pain.

Pushing yourself to go that extra mile/step/what have you is a good thing, but there's a fine line between "let's go for the burn" and "Oh crap, I think I've hurt myself."

"...why would one ever even think of doing that?"

(Nance furrows brow and thinks of ordering chocolate martini in lieu of dinner entree.)

Ouch. Hope you've recovered by now. I'm getting ready to go pop a couple Advil after my morning PT session...

I will never hit you with a frying pan.

Cheer you on, yes.

Split a pint of ice cream, maybe. Depends on the flavor.

But never hit you with a frying pan.

But keep it up! In two weeks, the walk that went to far will seem like easy peasy, I swear!

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was

Fallen Between the Cracks

Why did I stop writing here? With the grace of 20/20 hindsight, there were a LOT of reasons. My daughter's journey would get tougher and tougher, and as I added work into the mix of raising two kids, it was one more thing I just didn't have time for. And well, that work thing.  It sure does suck a lot of free time away, doesn't it?  Even though I am still only part time. I will be honest, as much as I adored all the people on the blogosphere that were kind enough to grace me with their wit and time, I just could not keep up with the constant commenting that I felt was only fair to these wonderful people.   So instead, what did I do? I did what any self respecting coward would do. I ghosted, of course. Not that I think my absence was enough to cause people to be distressed, but I feel badly if anyone felt slighted. Even as I write this, I feel like I am being waaaay too self important.  Isn't that the whole point of a blog, though?  Nobody writes a blog that doesn't

Apples and Oranges

Perhaps some of you may have noticed, but the real estate market is beginning a tumble in prices that benefit us, prospective buyers. And we're going to wait. That is cold, cold comfort to those such as J and Py , who are attempting to sell their place as we speak. But, we're not going to wait too much longer, if that makes them feel any better. There is no sense trying to time the bottom of the market, and we have been putting off moving, oh, since Mr. P was born because of the huge runup in prices. So huge that at one point, we could barely afford to buy our own place from ourselves. We should be ok even if we sell at a lower price than we could have gotten say, two years ago. We have, however, a dilemma. We have narrowed our choices down to two cities. And we are stuck there. We just can't figure out which city is better, and they are oh-so-different. Let me give you a rundown. City 1 Older, smaller houses (in our price range) Larger lots Beach city Infrastructure
