laundry sweeping mopping dust bunnies etc while piper plays dress up that s my comfort zone haha it s been a great weekend i really can t complain about anything the minute a stressful situation started to weigh on me my friends were right there to be supportive and put a smile on my face that s what it s all about isn t it amazing family good friends good food and good times love it here are some flowers piper picked on her way home from the park and put in water for me i really do adore being a mom i love being a mommy josh mom visit the e r amandasunshine may 12 2010 3 comments so much has happened since i sat here and self absorbedly talked about the little happenings of my life i was going to keep going on my earlier post but it was just getting ridiculously long so monday i was really looking forward to hanging out at home and relaxing that did not happen so typical some time around 11am the phone rang and it was josh s school he was with the nurse because he had been hurt in gym ok according to them he had been hurt in gym class and technically i guess that s what it was technically it was his knee by the way and he was in a lot of pain when i inquired as to how this injury happened thinking it was basketball or some other physical activity i was told that he and his friends were running to the locker rooms to change out and mom i just looked away for a second and then i just hit the wall yeah he ran into the wall i guess it just jumped right out in front of him haha it s funny now that i know he s ok nevertheless we went to the emergency room and being the mom i am i had my camera phone in hand don t let the pitiful look fool you he was havin fun in that chair icing down his knee always texting who do 12 yr olds talk to isn t he handsome i just love him so as it turns out it was a sprain after many x rays it was detrmined that there were no breaks so he just has to keep it iced and take it easy especially if he wants to be a track star i m a bad blogger amandasunshine may 12 2010 4 comments it s probably a good thing that not many get too excited about what i have to say huh i am sorry though for those of you who did notice my absence obviously it was a super busy weekend with josh s last track meet of the season boy that went fast and then mother s day festivities which by the way were all absolutely wonderful i had the best weekend ever in the history of good weekends okay that may be a slight exaggeration it really was pretty fabulous though all jokes aside obviously i have a lot to catch up on so i m going to do it as quickly as i can and try not to bore you too much i know my life may not be quite as exciting to you as it is to me saturday was josh s last track meet for this season and let me tell you he went all out he competed in events he hadn t competed in before and in events that no other seventh graders would even bother with i was super impressed with his willingness to push himself to try new things even if he wasn t super confident that he could win or even finish it i suck because i got lost on the way to the place where the event was being held and i missed the 100 m hurdles which was his first event blake s dad neil was there and he still didn t even see josh i guess he was just that fast ha so not long after i arrived and got the kiddos settled josh found me and greeted me with a big kiss aww he also informed me that he would be racing the mile and that he was the only 7th grader participating so he would be running against the 8th graders talk about pressure right so off he went to line up papa watchin josh line up for the mile so i didn t get any photos of him actually running the mile because i was wayyy too nervous for him he had a hard time pacing himself he was in 1st or 2nd place the entire time for the first two laps and then in the last two he was visibly tired he stuck it out though and wound up in 5th place out of more than 30 runners and he was the youngest when he finished the last lap he totally collapsed onto the grass and didn t bother moving for atleast 5 min he was worn out he also ran the 400m dash these kids ran balls out for a quarter mile i mean they ran josh finished that race in 3rd he s in the middle and this is him after that race whew here he is competing in the 200 meter hurdles i have to make this one big because i really love it i ve been trying all season to catch him in mid air over a hurdle i really need another new camera i am so proud of him he ended up bringing home 2 ribbons and he worked really hard for them sunday i woke up to a lot of cleaning to do that i was supposed to tackle on saturday night that didn t happen because 1 mama was exhausted after spending the entire day at the track meet and 2 we got invited over to bbq and roast marshmallows at noelle and donnie s house such fun noelle got all the pics on her camera so i don t have any cute pics to show you sorry but i ll make up for it now so i got the sweetest breakfast in bed cereal and orange juice and then the kids pitched in to help me clean up the house hey it s mother s day right i was a little grumpy about having to clean so that we could entertain blake s mom dad sister i was even kinda pissy about it to tell you the truth i sent josh to clean his and cameron s room piper to clean hers and then put cameron to work on the big toy closet downstairs about halfway through he walks over to me and says mommy do you know what your job is as if scrubbing the oven weren t enough and i say what s that cambam i was expecting him to tell me to finish his toy closet but no he says your job is just to give me lots of hugs and kisses awwww he s already learning to suck up and let me tell you he is convincing i love it so blake came home and brought an armful of cleaning supplies sets them down on the counter and says happy mother s day and laughs he thought it d get a reaction out of me but i love getting new cleaning supplies it s like christmas seriously he told me to take myself to lunch or go buy some new wine glasses or something since you know i ve been using the classy mason jars since i piece by piece broke all eight of my lenox glasses so i did and when i came home the house was sparkling love it wanna know why the house was so clean and why i didn t do it because i told blake i wanted a cleaning lady for mother s day that s why and if you know my blake you also know how much it pains him to part with money he d much rather do it himself which is totally fine by me so long as mama gets a break right piper set the table she is always so helpful shortly after i showered and got comfy in my jeans blake s family started to arrive wine in hand woohoo there is never a shortage of wine when karen blake s mom is around heh we grilled filet mingon and skewers of yummy marinated shrimp i made a fabulous caesar salad to pair with the grilled shrimp for a before dinner snack then mashed potatoes roasted asparagus to go with the filets then we gobbled up of the yummiest peach pie and caramel ice cream you could imagine then they all played around in the back yard tossing water balloons and such til papa got soaked everyone left just before dark and i got a chance to relax on the hammock with the babies the sky was the prettiest shade of blue and i was able to capture it in the background of this pic blake was able to snap a photo of the four of us before josh jetted off to watch river monster and i read to the littlest babies before we went inside for the evening these are the moments i live for wow amandasunshine may 5 2010 3 comments hey everyone thanks so much for your comments on my last post i have to agree with you all i think it s important to do what i enjoy and feel confident doing right now with all that s gone on with me healthwise i think that s gotta be walking my father in law neil is a doctor he said that walking was just as good for me as running and probably better considering the damage i could do to my joints he didn t recommend that i even think about running until after the doctors approve it i definitely think my biggest hangup is that i need a walking buddy besides my doggy i have to distract myself with talking and such the other afternoon after i posted i fed the kiddos and then headed out on a walk with my girlfriend kristen ended up walking 7 miles it was fabulous we even took our giant dogs with us so that they could pull us when we got tired haha i woke up super sore and thought i really overdid it i went out to check the mail and got the urge to just keep on going ended up doing a 4 miler while on the phone with my cousin shelley the best news i am in absolutely no pain for the first time in months and none of that is attributed to the use of pain killers maybe when my grandparents used to tell me to walk it off they were on to something i still have another appointment with the specialist set up for next thursday and i m going to keep it i just couldn t be more pleased with this progress though so i guess maybe i found that motivation to exercise after all huh thanks for the comments on the pic of cameron and piper they do the silliest things i m super proud of her piper was on the front page of the paper this morning for teacher appreciation week she s such a babydoll here is the pic she is the one in the lower left corner for those of you who don t know her as well as leah http www postindependent com article 20100505 valleynews 100509953 parentprofile search now maybe i m just partial but i totally think she is the prettiest she s such a sweetie i went to vail last night to have dinner with some friends i had two glasses of red wine and i was blitzed not drunk so much as just got a sick headache really quickly it s amazing what going up just a little bit in altitude will do to you if you aren t properly hydrated and especially if you have anything to drink i had a good time though nothin like a little adult conversation to remind you that you are still a regular person and there is a world outside of the house speaking of adult conversation i gotta get going to the park for a bbq with blake and the kids then kristen and i are heading back out on one of our walks which brings me to my gratitude i am thankful for good friends take care everyone i confess amandasunshine may 3 2010 6 comments unlike many of you who enjoy food and or enjoy exercising i just do not i love food i love to cook it i love to watch other people enjoy it and i love to eat it i always have since i was probably thirteen when i was in the midst of my disordered eating lifestyle i took comfort in feeding everyone else and on occasion overloading myself on some of it and when i say overloading i mean it i went wayyy overboard anyway i ve found that balance i enjoy food again and i keep it all down my problem is that i went so long with either depriving myself or using other means of disposing food from my body that i tricked myself into believing i was in shape i chased my children i have been chasing them for almost thirteen years now i thought that was sufficient i am not by any means overweight i m right in the middle of where i should be bmi wise i just get so so so envious when i see how far some of you can run i can t run i know a lot of it has to do with moving from sea level to almost 2 miles above and i know a lot of it is all the pain i m in a lot of it has to do with time i simply don t have a lot of spare time with three children and full time school what am i confessing i really just hate to exercise oh i like the fun stuff being outside and going hiking camping rafting snowshoeing taking my kids to the park and running and playing all that stuff but when i put the label of exercise on it i get tired just lacing up my sneakers do any of you have a problem getting motivated how do you do it i ve been reading a lot about it lately and i ve been out walking with dutchess my doggy every day that the weather permits but i want to crave it does that make sense i remember loving that burn when i was in my teens and early twenties but now i m almost thirty one and three kids later and omg i am over it help me now that i m learning to actually enjoy food again i m afraid my butt is going to hit the back of my knees and my health could suffer because of my lack of motivation any tips ok i just got my cue to get off the computer my daughter just dressed my four year old son up as a fairy he s very sparkly hope everyone is having a great monday relay for life amandasunshine may 1 2010 2 comments last night was my hometown s relay for life i have been actively involved with this for several years now and last night was the first time i wasn t there and the first time i had every reason to be i was back home in alabama as some of you know in february and march when my mamaw was diagnosed with cancer and then went from a seemingly healthy and active woman to being extremely sick and then passed away all within a month of her diagnosis i can t tell you all how much i miss her she was an incredible woman just incredible i can t really type anymore because i m having a hard time seeing through the tears that are filling my eyes but i will leave you with a few pictures my family was kind enough to send along i love you mamaw miss you every day some of our family minus me bored amandasunshine may 1 2010 1 comment happy saturday can you believe it s may 1st sorry no new posts lately it s been kinda boring around the house lately we went from having 70 degree temperatures and sunshiney days to waking up to 8 inches of snow on thursday morning it s been raining snowing off and on since then joshua s track meet got cancelled for today and it s still icky outside i know we need all the precipitation we can get maybe get rid of the drought conditions this summer so i m super thankful as far as that goes dada is off today and tomorrow so we re gonna make the best of this icky day i hope everyone is having a good start to their weekend what do i do with myself amandasunshine april 28 2010 3 comments so it is the first day after the end of my classes and the kids are in school and i m sitting here with a green monster and i ve watched e news and i really am just bored sure i could clean the house but where s the fun in that i made wontons for josh s heritage day at school too ugh maybe another long walk with my dutchess is in order last night my fabulous son decided he wanted to make dinner he lit the little hibachi grill and cooked buffalo hotdogs he warmed the buns in the oven and even melted the cheese he grated himself on there he baked beans and served the meal outside on the patio i of course
