Today Scott came home before I left for work. He may be without the UPS job come the first of the year. He went into flight mode. By the time I got home, he was better and had written everything down on paper. Everything is good even if he does not replace the income. Things will be lean. I called home to check on Thomas and to see how is day went. He had a good day. After he came home with dad, he played, had a snack, did homework and they talked about how dad may not be working at UPS. He then asked, "How much money do you make an hour?" "How much money do you make a month?" "How much money do you make a week?" I answered and the 3rd question was what he wanted, then asked is that enough to cover the house? My response: Yes, but you do not need to worry about those decisions. Those decisions are our job. You are the kid. You go to school, and we support the baseball and bowling. We also make sure you have what you need and want to the best of our ability. I love you mom was his response. I could not work for a little bit after I hung up the phone. Third grade and he gets some complicated things in this world.
On the bright side, I can work out in the am! I can run, hit the gym and snuggle in the am with my husband! Thomas gets his dad for the new 9 and under team for travel ball and his 10 and up team too! There is no more free insurance for the family, but we can afford the insurance through my job. Also, our floor was tiled and soon a few rooms painted and a new roof before the rain comes (some day). Life is good.

All Star Weekend
It was a hard week. A group of friends completed Ironman Couer d'Alene. The race I was going to do. The refund money went to pay the $266 speeding ticket home from the desert Memorial Day Weekend. My friend Ryan did Race Across America from Oceanside to MD and finished today. A normal Friday swim at the cove for SD friends looked great in the pictures! Vineman Team pumping up for a hard ride and run tomorrow and the Pac Grove Team getting in a long ride too! I haven't even talked about work yet. Hard, since I really am not training at the moment and working a lot at the bank (end of the quarter and auditors in and out).
Thomas had art class this week. I would take him to work with me, then walk him over to the Riverside Art Museum. He had a great time. The price was not bad, but we can only do it three times this summer in between baseball and vacation. Scott finished taking 15 feet of grass out. The batting cage will go up soon. Every night I come home with a plan to get back on track, and I have not done it yet. I truely beloeve I cannot change out of my work clothes it kills the evergy to keep going. The dogs have slowed down on chewing, but I do miss the low maintence with Riley. My mom is headed in for more testing. Fingers crossed the family link to breast cancer has not caught us yet.
I plan to run in the morning, if we will call it running. I will let you know. Sunday is up in the air till baseball times are confirmed with the game tomorrow.

Riding in Riverside
I met a new group of people today to ride. 13 went with my group the faster group did a climb on their bike at Mt. Ruboduix. I think it could be harder then Torrey. The ride was 12 miles easy pace. It was nice just to be outside. I am going to meet the group Sunday for a longer ride downtown riding at 7:30. The guy who told me the time was like we are rolling on time. He has no idea I woke up early for a lot of weekends to get to SD to ride with my teams the past 5 years! Early is not an issue when I get to train.
Train. Scott was suppose to sign me up for Mission Bay today. We missed each other and he was in bed by the time I got to Thomas and home. So, who is with me? I realize people have Carlsbad, Solana Beach, Ventura, Pac Grove and Vineman, but this is Oct 4. After your races and it is short. I'm still debating the Olympic and Ironman within the next 12 months.
Cycle team is in Tahoe! Go Team! And, remember not only our current Honored Teammates, but for all of our friends and loved ones who are here, fighting or past. Kim would say Giter Done, Robbie would say thank you for what you have done and are doing and have fun and Kevin who recently past (and wanted to do a tri team:) would of said you all are amazing for doing what you do for people like me.
Good Night.
P.S. it is before midnight:)

Pictures
Spring Break Family Picture :)
Here is a pic of Thomas in his travel ball team practice gear and getting the rec uniform for the Mariners. I'm not sure I have Cub pictures yet. I need to bring the camera to Saturdays games.
My new running shoes. I'm not thrilled with the heel fit. I wish new versions were consistent the old. I love the color!
That is our boy:)
Thomas gets to try the soft toss machine dad got off Craig's list.
Swim Night
Cubs won the game 15 to 1! Scott & Thomas headed home and I went to the gym.
200 warm up, 500 alternating kick board and pull buoy, 300 alternating Paddles and Free, then a straight 500 free. Total time 58:51. 4:44 on the warm, 24 second rest, 22:44 on the next 800, 2:00 rest, 13:41 on the next 500.
The guy I split the lane with had been swimming before I got in. He was a pretty big guy. My pace would not keep his. I later would learn he swam 2.01 miles and that is 138 laps. Crap is what I thought when I swam 60. Oh well, first night back in the pool and 1500 yards. I felt like I could do more.
I think Scott will be sending in registration for Mission Bay, then the triple crown and I'm trying to figure the next half and full ironman dates. Any comments on who is doing what in the next 12 months would be great.

LA Fitness NIght
I had a long day at work. We all have them. You feel like everything you touch is not right or you think I could have done better. Well, I am now trying to decide a race plan, pick back up training and get back to feeling better about me. Feeling better about me helps to balance family, work and me.
I kissed the family good night and headed to the gym. I did go to Walmart too (sorry). Target did not have the light combo I want for the bike. I found a group to ride with in Riverside on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I need the light just in case it does start to get dark on the way back. We are heading out at 6:30 pm from Bakers on Adams. (off the 91 heading West you would turn right).
Gym- Managed to run 2 miles on the treadmill. Did abs (cruch, reverse curl, plank (2) and side bench), arms (bicep curl, tricep push backs) and then attempted chin ups. It is a start. 1:11 Time.
Saturday I rode, but will have to map it for the miles. I am going to revert back to a Cat Eye hard wire for a computer. The Cat Eye Wireless is not the best thing. I want something more accurate and not have to map my ride. Unless someone else would like to take the time to do it for me for me. I can give you streets. Sultanas to Alicante to Briggs to Mapes to the deadend at the water company back to Trumble back to dead end and back to Menifee. Menifee to Simpson to Lindenberger to Domenigoni to Sanderson and back to Lindenberger to Simpson to Menifee to Watson to Briggs to Alicante to Sultanas. The ride was 3 hours. The last hour felt awful. Drinks got hot. (By the way Sultanas is off Hwy 74 in Homeland and I'm almost on the corner of Sultanas and Alicante)

Ride on Saturday
I am officially on my bike in a few short 5 hours. Before the mad Saturday of bowling banquet for Thomas', baby shower, two birthday parties and the science project due Monday. The project is >> You'll have to read tomorrow.
Where do I ride to? I think I'm going on time. Some how down Domengoni, up State and make the turn up to Anza will be the route.
The Team starts tomorrow for Pac Grove in Sept. Who knows maybe I can find my way there too!
FB, by the way is better to catch up with everyone at one time!
Night.
Anyone want to join? You can my house leaving at 6:00 am.
