Shall We Shrink??

2 caramel apples later I have a belly ache. And it started so innocently… I made them, and then stayed low on my calories so I could have one. I only put on a thin amount of caramel. I only made enough for us each to have one. Ah, so much for planning ahead. The lil man came and didn’t like his. So I took a bite. 387 trips into the kitchen later, I was shocked to realize it was gone! haha So, no big dinner for me. Some french onion soup and a cheesestick will do. Total calories for the day are right at 1800. Thank goodness I ran…

Night!

For I have only to pay a $6.82 convenience fee to process it online today. Thank the LORD!! I was so worried all night about that. It is such a relief to have it taken care of. Maybe next time I will pay more attention when I am pulled over.

This mornings run was a no go. I started running and the stroller was pulling to the right horribly. I couldn’t control it. I stopped to check it out and Wham! Flat tire. I came home to fix it and no chance. The tire is messed up or something because I can’t even get the air to go into it. Grrrrrrr Looks like I’ll have to wipe the dust off the ole treadmill. Boo! It’s so gorgeous outside today. I feel like I’m wasting it.

****************************************************************************
Okay, got the treadmill all ready to go and put in a half hour of running. I was aiming for three miles, but I forgot how much sweatier (is that a word?) I get in here. I can turn the fan on, but then my hair blows in my face and that bugs me too. ha! Anyway, I got in 2.5 miles and that is good enough for me! Now I’m off to clean up and get ready for the older two’s parent teacher conferences. It’s report card day… which means it can either be a really good night or a really BAD night, although I am a lucky Mom and my kids always (thus far) have done really well. I hope I didn’t just jinx myself…

So on my way home I got a ticket for speeding, which was BS, but whatev. I don’t know if I told you the story or not, cause it was a crazy one. Anyway, I though the Highway Patrolman told me they would mail me something, just like the California Highway Patrol did when I got a ticket from them just two weeks before! AGHHHHH I hadn’t had a ticket in over 4 years, then two at once. Anyhow, I still haven’t recieved anything from them so I dig out the original and apparently I heard wrong because it was due one week after I got it, which is almost 3 weeks ago. Of course I discovered this at 4pm yesterday, which with the time change is after I could call them, so I have been stressing about it all night. How much is this gonna cost me?? I feel like my tickets are ruining Christmas, since without the fees they are almost $500. Does anyone else think it’s ridiculous to have a 10% over the speed limit ticket?? I know times are tough for governments, but taking money from underpaid government workers like me and the hubbs is SO not the way to go about reducing the budget shortfall. Okay, enough bitching.

Calories yesterday were a little low, under 1400 I think. I was too angsty to eat much last night. Today the lil man and I are going to run the 3ish miles up and down the mountain and then come home to start out weight training. Okay, mine. He’ll probably watch cartoons, although he does stretch with me

Happy Friday, chickies!
