I've Completely Lost My Sense of Humor...

And it's only noon. Can I have a do-over on today?
*We have mice. They are outside on the patio right now. But, since my children leave the door open all the time I'm expecting them to invade inside pretty soon. Mice completely freak me out. They are on my list with roaches. I'm not deathly afraid of them like snakes, but I don't like them and they creep me out. We have them. Mr. Mayer thinks I am being completely unreasonable about the situation. He thinks I should man up and kill them when I see them. I don't think he should be so mean about the situation. A little understanding about my dislike would go a long way. I mean, I kill spiders for him.
*My garage door is not working today. I discovered this at 5am. It's been an ongoing guessing game for a few months now. Some days it works. Some days it doesn't. At least it picked a fair weather day to not work. It's usually raining.
*About 5 minutes after Mr. Mayer and Diva left this morning I fell all the way down my second level of stairs and landed in a heap in the entryway. Luckily I was carrying two laundry baskets with me so I had laundry strung out everywhere. Owen and Carter were just staring at me.
*During my fall I broke a toe. I have never broken a bone in my life. This is a first. It's swollen and purple and hurts like the devil. Carter gave me kisses to make it feel better. It worked a little. My first thought when I realized my toe was broken was "How am I going to get my spin shoes on?!" That's normal, right?

*I had to pee. As I am sitting on the toilet Owen comes into the bathroom with his diaper around his knees saying "Buckle diaper Mommy!" in his whiniest voice possible. I reach down and start to fix his diaper only to realize I had just grabbed a handful of poop. Yup, he had a poopy diaper around his knees. And he had walked from upstairs. Oh-Em-Gee....
* I start cleaning Owen up. Carter comes into the room. Completely naked. He says "Where my diaper go Mommy?" What the hell is going on today?! I asked him if he diaper was poopy and he responds with his best "I don't know." Great. I get Owen cleaned up and Carter diapered and go on a scavenger hunt. Thank goodness the diaper wasn't even wet!! Whoo Hoo!! Score one for Mommy!
*The Dudes and I went and ran some errands. We picked up lunch and came home. The garage door isn't working so we unloaded and walked up to the front door. My hands were full with what we bought, lunch and drinks so the Dudes refused to open the storm door for me. Thanks guys! After I managed to get the door open I punched in the code for the front door. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. &*^%$^*(*!!! Crap. Just to make sure I do it a couple more times. Still nothing. We unload everything and traipse to the backyard. That back door opened! Whew! I was really close to losing my cool by that point.
*The Dudes wanted to eat lunch outside. So we did. And I sat there paranoid a mouse was going to run across my feet or something any second.
On the bright side I am about to go lay the Dudes down for a nap. Hopefully they will sleep today. Or, at least play quietly in their room? Maybe.

Hurt So Good

Ever done something that hurts, is hard, and you want to quit, but when you are done it feels so good??? That's how this week has gone for me. This week on my fitness tour brought me to Revved Fitness.   And it hurt so good. Revved is almost identical to Orangetheory. They do a combination of cardio and strength. You wear a heart rate monitor and the goal is to to elevate your heart rate and work in certain zones. The only difference I noticed is that Revved uses stationary bikes for cardio and Orangetheory uses treadmills. Revved offers a 7 day trial for $10. I signed up online and went to my first class Monday morning. Monday morning came and was stormy, early, and a line was almost out the door when I arrived. Yikes! I signed in and wandered into the room. It was a BIG class. All the bikes were full, and there were people on rowers and the strength area. The trainer split us in half. Half the class started with strength the other half started with cardio. I got in the...

Potty Mouth

You would think I would be referring to myself or Mr. Mayer. But, no. I'm talking about the precocious little girl that lives in this house. "I cleaned my room damn good." Wait. What? That was the sentence Diva told me a few weeks ago when I asked her if she had cleaned her room. I was in shock. Mr. Mayer was stifling a laugh. Diva was dead serious. A few days after that she came downstairs and told me to "Tell those damn boys to leave my damn toys alone." Apparently her brother's were messing with her Barbies. We have also had the occasional "damn it" when she drops something or spills something. It was super embarrassing when we were at Target and she dropped a toy in the toy department and said "damn it." Thankfully there was no one around to hear her. Diva's um...creative (?) vocabulary started as soon as she started speaking. She has always used big words, whether she knew what they meant or not. Mr. Mayer and I are totally ...

Let Me Catch My Breathe....

Hey! Hey! Hey! My fitness tour is still going strong :) I am pretty confident I will be able to at least make it to vacation time doing free, or discounted classes around town. Then I can make my final decision on what I want to stick with. The last two weeks have taught me that my fitness level has gone way down....I am not as strong as I thought I was. Maybe gone down isn't the right word. Maybe, more like, I'm nuts and had a skewed perception of my fitness level....maybe I was never as fit as I thought I was??? All these classes are giving me a dose of reality. This week I started off strong with CycleBar . Now. I LOVE spin classes. My friend, Jeff, started teaching spin a million years ago, and I took my first spin class with him in 2011. He has always been my favorite instructor and I compare every other class to him. Every one. So, on a scale of 1-Jeff how did I like Cycle Bar...I'll admit, it was at an 8 or 9. Maybe if the instructor and I were friends outside of cl...
