I seriously need a vacation. My kids are driving me nuts, bonkers, crazy, looney... Ben talks non-stop. On the toilet, while eating breakfast, in the car... probably in his sleep. My mantra in the morning for all of them is : Did you brush your teeth? Is you backpack ready? Did you eat? I should just record myself and press play. But where to go on this vacation I need? Bread and Breakfast... no. Does not appeal to me. Maybe downtown for a play and shopping. I'll have to check it out... or even better... hint, hint to my hubby!

My new (have only had it for two weeks) treadmill is already broken. Nothing happens when I plug it in. Yes, it is on and yes, the outlet works. It worked Thursday when I ran 3 miles... yup I am patting myself on the back. Maybe it went into shock. Anyway, I called the co. and they are sending a part. When I get the part someone will come out and look at it. In the meantime, I am stuck in my workout rut again.

We took Justin to and orientation for high school. He picked the typical "guy" electives. Metals and Woods... all the girls will be in Fashion Opportunities and Home Economics. He also decided to get his Social Science requirement out of the way and signed up for World Geography. I was proud of him until I found out all his friends are doing this... whatever. I am still in a state of shock that I have a "child" going into high school. When they talked about Drivers Ed I almost passed out. I will continue sailing on the river of De-nial until that day comes.
