Pissed Off Momma August 31 2004

oh
my
god.
I am so pissed off right now I can barely see straight.

Brendan has a friend, we will call him the weird little boy up the street, and this friend has one BITCH for a mother.

They were playing today with another boy, when the weird little boy up the street invited them into his house to play. The third child decided not to since he had a bike to fix (whatever), so Brendan and weirdo go into the house.
The mother, whom I will for now call BITCH, asks them both where the 3rd boy is. Brendan begins to reply “He went home to fix….” she interrupts him and asks her son Weirdo. Who tells her the same thing. She then tells them both “If you are lying you’re both going to be in a whole lot of trouble”
excuse me?
I know I just posted about my son being a mouth piece but he is NOT a liar….nor is he mouthy to anyone but me (not even his Dad really).
So Bren comes home in tears that this woman (bitch) called him a liar and he was afraid that she would punish him in some way.
So that made me mad enough that she threatened to punish him in some way.
Then he tells me that a few weeks ago before leaving for California, he and weirdo and decided to not play with 3rd boy (3rd boy is often a liar and they hate that about him), well bitch got wind of that and told Brendan that if they ever exclude 3rd boy again (NOT relation to weirdo OR bitch) that she wouldn’t allow him (Brendan) on her property again.

So they asked me yesterday if she could take Brendan to the fair with them…I’ve decided a big NO on that one.

Add all this to that fact that she still owes me $40 from a day trip we took her weird little son on and you have one pissed of woman.

I so want to call and scream obscenities are her.

But I won;t

for now.

ONE WEEK AND COUNTING

That’s right. School starts in one week and I couldn’t be happier.
You see this year, Bren decided that he didn’t want to go to ANY camps or play for any teams. He just wanted to play with his friends and be free all summer.

We won’t be doing that next year.

He has been BORED out of his skull for the last 3 weeks. His best friend went to California and left him here to rot on my couch and wope and whine and mouth off.

He came close to death a few times.

He has learned the art of making me mad. I don’t know when that happened. He was always such a GOOD boy. Now he’s all mouthy and disrespectful. Making me second guess my decision to NOT spank my children.

I am sure (hope) he will straighten out once school starts. Although he’s in total denial about it starting.

Well in other news, Chris is gone to work today. So I my blogging won’t be so clandestine.
I’ve decided NOT to share this with him…probably ever.
He wouldn’t get it.

Although the other day someone found my site by googling Pamalamadingdong. I thought for sure it was chris but no…they weren’t from Canada.

So for now this remains by little secret.

Oh and my race? Is Sept 19th.

10k August 30 2004

10 tonight and it was almost poetic.
No stopping (cept for a drink)
No walking.
Saw a rabbit.
And a squirrel dropped a stick on us (I nearly screamed like…well…a girl).

So I feel MUCH better about the whole running thing.

Hmm my family seems to be M.I.A. right now.
No one home AND the gate in the back yards seems to have been rebuilt!
Interesting what happens when I leave the house.

Thanks to everyone for their encouraging words.

I LOVE YOU ALL!
MWHA!

Hubby is home today so blogging will be a minimum.
Bastard.
10k tonight and I am PRAYING for a better run (see saturday’s post). It’s much cooler and dryer and I’ll be that plays a big role tonight.

I have to register for my race soon.
I am totally dragging my feet, though my “team” mates have declared. We’ve registered and since YOU are the one that got us into this mess, YOU better register too.
Sooo looks like I better do that soon.

Yikes

Today’s run was… August 28 2004

Hot
Humid
hard
long
slow
sucky.
I don’t know what happened. Today’s run was a REAL effort for me. At about km 6 I choked on a bug and almost vomited. Not pretty. I coughed for a while and had to stop to drink.
I then sucked down a gel and didn’t drink enough water afterwards.
Yup it sat in my tummy like a brick, once it finally made it down there. I did stop to drink more to remedy the situation but it didn’t seem to make much difference.

The route was REALLY REALLY hilly. And even though I ran each one, I did find myself needing to walk for a little bit on the some of the flat parts. I walked WAY WAY more than I would normally (normally being when we only walk for drink breaks, since running through them seem to almost drown me).

It was much hotter today than it has been for any of ours runs this morning. The humidity was 83%.

I ran my first 3 or 4km quite a bit faster than normal, having gotten caught up in a conversation and not noticing the speed until the rest of our group disappeared behind me.

Our time was about 2:37 and that’s with 2 water stations (yes actual stations our lovely running club sets out…well hides old coolers in farmers fields) and my wimping out on occasion.

After we didn’t even stretch we went directly to one woman’s house and into her pool running clothes and all. It’s been so cold that her pool hasn’t heated up so it was a great muscle soak. We stretched in there and felt SO refreshed.

Now I am spent. My legs aren’t sore. Just tired and heavy.

I hope this is not a sign of how the actual half will be on Sept 19th.
