Don't ya hate it when.....




Your awakened in the middle of the night with your kids throwing up?

I'm home with the little guy today.  He said in the car yesterday as we were leaving the school parking lot, "I feel like I'm gonna throw up."  Where I desperately grab my lunchbox, dump all of the contents (vitamins I didn't take, some granola I didn't eat, and the ice packet thingys) and tell him to put his head in the lunchbox if he has to throw up.  Well half way home, it happened! My daughter plugs her ears and puts her head out the window she says, "I just can't take the sound mom." We get home, I dump the deal in the grass way over by a tree and he goes straight to the shower and toilet.  That poor kid went to bed at 5:30 and stayed asleep until 12:00.  That's when I see him holding the bucket saying to my husband, "Dad, I threw up again."  My husband says, "go dump it bud and go back to bed."  That's it! Ok, then I get up and dump the bucket take care of the washing of hands, getting water, and tucking back in.  You might be asking yourself, how is he feeling? Well just about an hour ago I could hear him singing very loudly and trying to do a somersault in the family room.  I guess the bug that came a creeping is gone.  Can you tell I'm bored?






What should I do? Clean it or burn it?

Final Training Run for B2B



Well I'm done! I guess I'm ready as I'll ever be.  This morning was beautiful for a final training run, a 53 degree sunny fall morning.  My husband started out with me and ran 6 and then he came in a made pancakes.  I had 14 to do this morning, BP suggested I run two extra miles for physical and metal tenacity and I felt great until mile 10.  I still had 4 more to go and the friggin left knee start tweaking.  At first it started to click, and then the aching started kicking in.  I tried to ignore it for a while until I had to stop and walk.  It felt like the knee was going to give out.  I did the final 4 with a run/walk combination.  I was so pissed and discouraged.  I mean just a week ago I ran 11 with no knee problems.


This is how I looked when I finished.  Do you enjoy my running ensemble?


Came in, and immediately went for the ice to only find this in the freezer to ice my knee.  Do you think I'll need to wash these before I put these in the kids lunches? (Jay says, "Yes, Mom")
I stretched and had my hot warm pancakes John had made.



I'm optimistic that everything will be fine.  I'm strong and confident and I want to have a great time with a bunch of great ladies.  So hotel is booked, subs are covering my classes, looking forward to seeing a part of NC that I've never seen and hoping for a great race with a new PR for a 1/2 marathon.  Hey what can I say, I'm slow but having fun doing it.  

Wish me luck peeps!

~Hunt Club Farm & Caramel Apples~





We decided to make a day of fall activities on Saturday.  Fall weather definitely rolled in on Friday night with temperatures in the 50's. Saturday was a blustery fall day packed with pumpkin picking, animal petting, & caramel apples.









Cute Look Em! 
She gets her fashion
sense from me of course.













































No John, we can't have a goat as a pet!














My germaphobe son saying, "Do I HAVE to pet it?"
