Morning Brick ...

No, not in the bathroom ... although I must start off by saying that yesterday I thought I might die. A wonderful Mom from our program brings in amazing cookies at the end of every summer ... and yesterday I was enticed by the peanut butter-y ones with a chocolate kiss in the center ... you know these right? I had one, two ... ok three. And holy $#%@ did I pay for it. My body was not happy with the trace amount of milk and it certainly let me know! Horrible. Ugh.

Ok, back to this morning ... I got up at 5:30 (thanks husband) and went to swim at the Y. I bought a new tri-skort-biker-short-dealie at REI and needed to get in the water wearing it before my race on Sunday. It is awesome! The fit feels great and swimming with it wasn't all that weird. It's that quick dry stuff, so all in all, a rocking purchase! Then I drove home and got directly on my bike which is fresh back from the bike shop, all ready to roll ... I rode a few miles, wet still and enjoying the sunrise. The tri-skort-thing has the extra tush pads for the bike ride, which you know, I wouldn't think my tush needs any more padding, but it does help. I know Monday after the race my hoo-ha will be aching ... but that is part of the fun right?!? Hmmm, that sounded weird.

An awesome morning work out. I am super excited to pick up my race stuff tomorrow morning. I feel very well prepared this time around and am looking forward to the finish line! Caloy and the kids will be there to cheer me on too! Matthew is excited for "Mommy's Racer".

Today is our last day at the sites we rent for Summer Camp. We get to move a million things today while still having a program ... it'll be crazy, but do-able. Then only 2 weeks left ... 10 days ... and I am home free ... with my sassy girl, Matthew back at school, mainstreamed in the 1st grade with an interpreter, Husband at his awesome job ... Can life be any better? Blessings abound, my heart overflows and I am so filled with gratitude. Thank you Jesus.
