Summer Summer Summertime

Where the heck did the month of May go?  Shit.  I blinked my eyes and it was gone.  I can't believe that school is out for the summer (thinking of the movie Dazed and Confused).   Yesterday was the last day of preschool for Joseph and last day forever for Samuel.  My big boy will be started Kindergarten in the fall.  Where in the world did five years go?  I hear this saying all the time about parenting, "The days are long and the years are short."  So absolutely true.  However, I have to say the days are flying by as well.  We all have bad days, but lately life with kids has been a little bit easier.  Other then breaking up wrestling matches, choke holds and some screaming fights between the kids life is pretty good.

I have a goal of writing at least three times a week on the blog because I need an outlet for my frustrates with life.  Sometimes just writing about it releases the stress.  I just need to find a few minutes to myself to sit down and write.  Along with doing five hundred million of things.

I am on a mission this summer to get in much better shape.  I had a few personal training sessions at our gym and it felt so good.  I told the trainer that I have no excuses anymore, since I am done with having kids.  I told him that I needed some serious help in the buttock area and I want it lifted and never to come back down again.  He laughed at first, but then he realized I was dead serious, so then he proceeded to kick my ass in the workouts.  My plan is to do weights two to three times a week and work in my cardio.  I still have the goal of doing my first sprint triathlon this summer.

Dave and I bought bikes last weekend.  I haven't had a bike since I was in middle school.  I am so excited to start riding again.  It will be great for Dave and I to be able to go on some long bike rides and get some exercise in together.  He can't really run anymore due to a knee injury, but we can bike.  Hopefully my bike will come in next week.  We had to order an extra small frame.  I knew I was short, but I didn't realize that my legs were that short.  Hopefully when the bike gets in, we can get it all decked out with everything I need for a long ride and get to it.

I am so ready for the weekend.
