True Stories...

Last week.
So it's late.
My eyes are killing me.
Take out my contacts, grab what I think are my homeopathic eye drops, quickly squeeze them into both eyes...
The burning starts... Don't remember it hurting like that before???
I grapple for the lights, look closely at the bottle of "eye drops"....

They were homeopathic alright, however they were the kids' EAR drops..

Let's just say I finally got to use my 7th grade science lab eye flushing skills.

2nd mishap..
Note to self..
Don't leave out a brand new book of Christmas stamps that to a two year old resemble stickers. Thank you Kate for the $8 piece of Christmas art.

Spiritual Architects

Hypnotic Plumber

So I'm driving down the highway into Salt Lake the other day... feeling a little overwhelmed as we all do sometimes.

Wife. Mother. Real Estate. Piano. Photography.
Love 'em all. But it had been a week.
I was pondering to myself how to "find the balance".

I look over and noticed a vehicle next to me, covered in writing.
A large picture of Merlin the Wizard graced the side of the truck.
"A little unusual", I thought to myself.
Beneath the wizard were the words Merlin Plumbing...
Clever play on words.

It got better.

As I proceeded to read the company name, they not only did plumbing, but heating too.
O.K., I can handle that.
Merlin Plumbing & Heating.

It was the words that followed that caught my eye however as I continued to read..
By this time, I'm adjusting my speed to parallel the plumber next to me.
He probably thought I was stalking him.

Merlin Plumbing & Heating & Astrology...
WHAT?
Did I read that correctly?
No, it couldn't be.

It got even better.

It kept going..
By this time the words are spilling down the side of the truck as there was not enough room.
Merlin Plumbing Heating & Astrology & Hypnotist.

I of course had to "Google it" upon my arrival home later that evening, as I was still laughing to myself about it.

Turns out that it's a local company right here in Park City!

Clogged toilets, leaky faucets? Pisces? Libra?
So yes ladies, you can now have your horoscope read to you by a man with plumber's crack.
Now that's a visual.

Point taken.
I guess my jobs aren't that bad after all.

6 AM Epiphany

So I've been doing the P90X thing. I know, the TV infomercial got to me. It was either this or that thing that juices, slices and prepares your meals for you while you watch Oprah.

So ever since I started, I couldn't for the life of me figure out who the instructor reminds me of? Usually about 45 min. into the Plyometrics DVD I'm certain he's Satan's brother; but it really was bugging me! So the other day it hit me. Robbie Rotten!! Did anyone ever watch Lazy Town on Nickelodeon? Back when we had cable the kids used to love this show, not sure if it's even still on. But for sure these guys must be long lost kin? What do you think?

A Trip to the Station...

Went and spent the day with daddy at the station today.

So fun.

The kids just love playing on the engine and going down the fireman pole.

Some cute pics of the kids hamming it up.

Park City 1/2 Marathon

Setting the scene: Matt's gone hunting for 10 days. Hired a sitter to watch the kids. Left at 5:30 AM with the Midway Running Club Gang. Ran the 1/2 Marathon in Park City. (Breathtaking views would highly recommend it.) Great run. Was able to shave off 6 min. from my PR.
Come home to the kids...

Ammon:"You ran 13 miles, and all you got was a piece of plastic?"

Wasatch Back 2009

Wasatch Back was AWESOME! I've been waiting to blog until I got a team pic, however due to the downpour of rain at the finish line one has yet to surface.

This was my first year, can't wait to do it again..

Drove with a van of 5 amazing women.

My first leg was a hot 5.6 miles around 2 in the afternoon.

Second was at midnight, nice and cool, 4.9 miles in the dark, neat feeling to run at midnight.

Last leg was a soggy, windy 7.9 up the hill from Francis to Jordanelle.

Luckily my honey came to watch and had a spare rain jacket to lend me.

The best part of the whole relay was seeing my kids cheer me on at the top of the big hill, Matt parked his truck and they all sat on the tailgate and cheered "Go mom!"

Something about seeing their smiling faces kept me going.

Still not quite sure on why Carly was dressed like a ladybug....
