Slip and Slide

Saturday Michaella had her year end party that her Dance teacher throws. Miss Amber really is an awesome teacher. The kids had a blast. It took Michaella about an hour and 3 dry runs to finally gather up the courage to go down the slip and slide but once she figured it out she was hooked!

You know you're getting old when

Now I always exercise and I ran all last summer but lately I've been doing the gym classes. And I've been feeling like a total stud going to the gym 4+ nights a week and for at least an hour a night. All this time away and Mike thinks I must have a boyfriend at the gym. So last night with it being a beautiful wonderful perfect 67 degrees I decided I was going to keep the workout close to home and go running outside.... It was a total bummer! About a mile into it I was in some serious pain. I really tried to work through it but I couldn't do it. Hello I'm 27 I'm in great shape, I shouldn't be limping down the street. But I had a good idea where the pain was coming from.

I have a really high arch and being the stingy frugal mom that I am when I bought my newest pair of shoes I thought I'd save a buck and not get new insoles. In fact I was just going to get that pair out of my even older pair and through those in. Bad idea. So last night right after my run I find myself at Joe's Sporting Goods buying myself a pair of Orthodic Arch Supports. Just the name screams geriatric!

What happened to those days when I didn't even know what a sore muscle felt like? And why didn't I take advantage of those days to be in the best shape possible? Why did I wait until my late 20s to realize that I was going to have to actually work to not be a fat lard? I'm constantly in pain. Exercising is like self mutilation and yet I'm totally addicted.

Is it over yet??

Okay. So Mike had another surgery yesterday to remove the stent and remove the very last kidney stone. I thought once I heard that it was all over. But alas, this morning we ended up at the emergency room because Mike was having spasms where the stent was removed. So short and sweet my question to you all is....Is it over Yet?
