I'm Back!

Charley and I arrived back home this afternoon from our mini vacation to my Great Aunt & Uncles on the Chesapeake. It was a great get away, though I am so glad to be home with Jimmy and the doggies.

This post is going to pack a lot into a little post, since I told myself I needed to get in bed by 11pm so that I will get up bright and early and workout at the gym at work. So here it goes...

I think I am going to go at it bullet style :)

  • I am so amazed at all of the new comments I have received on my site! I can't wait until I have some time to come around and visit your blogs and leave you all some inspiring comments like you have done for me. I will come and visit soon I PROMISE!
  • I am pumped about the BLBE Challenge and now that I am home - I am going to kick some butt!
  • When I was away I...went on a 2 mile run (plus about 1/4 of a mile walk) with my dad biking beside me and played tennis for about an hour. I had little control over what we were eating so I had to get a little exercise in.
  • After I got Charley fed tonight I wanted to go to the grocery store to get some supplies I needed to make a big pot of crab vegetable soup-- well I went out to the car to realize that I left her car seat in my parents car! And they were already back in DE, it normally wouldn't have been a problem, but Jimmy works at the bar tonight - so I didn't have the option of taking his car....So....we walked to the grocery store! It is about a 2 mile round trip walk pushing Charley in the stroller - so I got a little more exercise in.
  • But...I walked out the door to put Charley in her stroller and she started screaming! I had no clue why, though I did just make her a bottle so I thought she was hungry, but the cry sounded like an 'I'm hurt' cry. So I went to give her the bottle when I noticed something on her cheek...she got stung by a bee! She stopped crying pretty much right away, but then I had to worry about seeing if she was allergic, so the entire walk to the store I was checking on her. She was fine! It didn't even phase her :) She is one strong cookie!
  • oh yea, last week before I went away we got our first official pictures done...they turned out awesome! They emailed them to us on a website -though they are image marked, I will try and post some when I have a little more time.
  • I just finished up dividing up and putting away my huge pot of crab vegetable soup. I can't wait to have it for lunch tomorrow!

I am now watching my tivoed Biggest Loser Family and I am off to check a few of your blogs before I have to get to bed!

Keep kicking butt!

I'm glad you had a great trip. Mikayla just got stung by a bee the other day as well. I was not home and Joe was trying to put Lily to bed for the night when Mikayla started screaming bloody murder. I was home less than 10 minutes after it happened and I found Mikayla on the couch watching her shows with ice on the sting like nothing happened! Glad to hear the bee sting worked out just fine.

We recently got a bike trailer and I LOVE it. I load the girls up and we don Satruday errands on it, we go the grocery store (I can't buy a lot though) I also pick her up from preschool at lunch time and ride her out to daycare - that is 6 miles round trip - great lunch time workout.

I think it's amazing that you got all that exercise in on your mini-vacay, totally inspiring :-)

Poor little Charley!

You must post that crap & veggie soup recipe!
