Babble mistress

I'm ashamed of how long it has been since I've blogged. I know if I was waiting THIS long for an update on a blog I read, I'd be pretty PO'd.

There has been a lot going on...

I ran that 10K, and let me tell you...the sense of accomplishment I felt when I crossed that finish line, seeing my time up there...less than what I estimated...there is no drug out there that could produce such a high. I felt like I could have run another 10K (hahahahaha). I wanted to hug all the sweaty people who crossed that line with me. You can check out the pictures of me if you like, although I must warn you, I am one hot, sweaty bastard!

And here is the best part: I was not sore the next day! I was able to walk, and even take the kids to NYC to meet my mom, and hit Serendipity3 for lunch (yum) and Bloomingdales for some shopping. And then, drove my mom back to Brooklyn, and feeling so good and happy, suggested driving through the old neighborhood where I grew up, to show my kids where mommy was a kid. Unfortunately, the annual Flatbush Frolic had just ended and the streets were blocked, but a nice cop let me sneak in, and I got to show Sammy my house. (Melly was asleep by this time, and she slept from this point all the way to th enext morning!) We even got a chance to visit my sister, which made Sammy soooooo happy. It was a good day. And that is a good thing for my husband, because he had to go to work that day..all day.

Which brings me to the next reason I have not been blogging. Both Chris and I have has been under water at work. I have been so busy that I can't even feel that 9 hours have passed, and then I look up at the clock on my PC, and go "HOLY S, I have to get out of here." I have been breaking my ass to get home to see the kids, because these kids should see at least one parent per day! Chris has not been home. He leaves before any of us are up, which is th enorm, and usually is home by 8. But lately, its been more like 10, and if there is an end in sight, it is not within his grasp yet to let us know he will be seeing us one of these days. He has to work this weekend too. Don't get me wrong, he is as bummed about this as us, he is miserable, tired, cranky, and could really use a good laughing fit with our girls. He is such a great Dad, and that is why this is so hard. He is an involved Dad, a responsible Dad, and an active part of their days. I know it is killing him to not get their hugs and kissed, and it is for this reasn that I want this to end for him. Sometimes I think he should just toss it in and stay home with the kids. The money would be an issue, but damn, would he be happy! And so would the kids! And so would I! Time to play Mega Millions.

Ahhhh, got lost in a dream there. How nice would it be to win that kind of money? Not have to worry, be able to help all those people down South, my mom could quit working, my dad could finally have all the resources he needs to be recognized for his talents (I will go into that another time)...and my husband could do what he loves most. Be with our children, and volunteer to help all of world's people. Me, well, I may still work because that is what I do. But my job allows me a normal life, and I actually enjoy what I do. Guess I'll have to go and buy some lottery tickets tonight...gotta be in it to win it....a dollar and a dream...

Have a great weekend everyone, don't know about you, but I am GLAD THIS WEEK IS OVER!
