Shame on me....

Almost an entire week has gone by and I haven't blogged - and there has been some stuff going on. Not real important stuff by any means - but blog worthy stuff to bore you with.

First off...the petty stuff I need to just be immature and get off my chest...I find it soooooo funny that I write about my life and my quirks and there are people pathetic enough out there who read this blog incognito and then types a quip about what I type (totally speaking opposite of every recent post I write). I'm a neat freak - sorry - can't help it, glad I am, glad I'm not a slob. I'd rather have OCD neat freakness oozing through my veins than sloppy slob genes oozing through my veins. The best part - you pathetic freak (this is not meant for the masses - it's meant for a certain person/people who know who they are - heehee) - you can take your "happy, online - pretending to be perfect wife, perfect mommy, perfect religious being you are" when those who know you even in the slightest - are seriously rolling on the ground when we see your mouth open. Enough said - sorry for the pettyness peeps...I won't let it happen again...at least not for a month or so. lol

So...last post leaves us with Alisha being crazy and going to run a 5K. We started training 2 weeks ago and this couch to 5k program rocks! It gradually brings running into your lives - and wait for it people - GASP - it makes you kinda like, almost borderline love running!!! What is up with that??? So, Kris, Lexi and I have been very diligent students of The Couch to 5K running program and have ran a minimum of 3 times a week. Cue orchestra....UNTIL...Alisha gets hurt...AGAIN. And, not from running.

I have a dear friend whom thanks to Facebook have reconnected with and she lives only 30 miles from me. She owns her own Fitness Center called HIP Fitness - check her out www.thehipfitness.com (I'm pretty sure that's her website, I will double check after I post and edit if I am incorrect). Anyway, I decided to do personal training sessions with her 2 x week (I do have a 20 year class reunion in 2 months! oh, yeah and I'm tired of being out of shape and flabby because I have been out of commission with my melanoma surgeries and my gracefulness of me falling down the stairs in March causing severe SI Joint pain) and I knew Jamie would whip me into shape! Well, I guess I pushed myself too hard Tuesday trying to impress her - lol - and strained my quad muscle. Ok, I didn't pay too much attention in school or in anatomy but isn't the quad muscle the largest muscle in your body? Well, if it's not the largest, then it's pretty darn close! Anyway, Tuesday after our first session, I just had what I thought was normal, first post workout discomfort - not any pain. Wake up Wednesday morning - my running day - and I won't embarass myself today to discuss this running session - lets just say, Kris and I definetly got an ab workout in as well from laughing our bottoms off during that days run.

I'm not going to bore you with the play by play of my pain - but lets just end it with this, I could not move my leg without using two hands to lift it to move it - and doing that literally brought tears to my eyes when I did it. I went to my personal training session today (rescheduled yesterdays for today) and Jamie is awesome she came up with a kick butt upper body workout that we are going to be getting use to doing these next 2 weeks. I think a couple of times during the workout I told her to stop talking to me because I was winded. lmbo On the way to the session this morning I went ahead and called my family Dr. and made an appointment because I knew something was going on. He thinks I have just strained my quad muscle (fingers crossed he is correct). My left quad area is SUPER swollen, like kinda gross looking swollen - well, its more than swelling - he said that that area - since the quad is such a huge muscle - has so much room for you to have fluid fill the area. So, I have a TON of fluid there, as well as regular swelling. So, the couch, On Demand movie rentals and the ole ice packs are going to be my friend for the weekend. As well as a nice round of heavy duty steriods. I can't do lunges, squats for 2 weeks but he seems to think by Monday I can do some walking and by the end of the week should be able to do a light jog workout. I really hope he is right, but he has been right about everything else when Steve or I have been to see him.

Speaking of Steve...update on him. Monday he had his endoscopy done and we found out he has some pretty nasty bacterial infection in there. Nasty enough that if left untreated it can cause stomach cancer. We are waiting on biopsy results to come in to confirm there isn't any cancer but the doctor didn't seem concerned with that. He's on a few antibiotics since the infection is one that is hard to get rid of. There was lesions that were either ulcers forming or ulcers healing. He felt that they were ulcers healing and what sent him to the ER was in fact ulcer pain because Steve had been on Prilosec (I think) for a month prior to this endoscopy and that med is used to treat and heal ulcers. Regardless, he is on it again to clear up the lesions. He should be pain free in 2 weeks. If not, he is to return back to the Doctor and I don't know what happens from there. lol

I registered both girls for school and paid their book rental fee yesterday morning. Do you fellow Hoosiers realize that book rental fee is not the norm???? Nope, we are like the only darn state that charges a book rental fee. So, wrote a nice hefty check for the girls, made deposits in their lunch accounts. I know the first day of school is going to be confusing enough for Ava, I don't want to add to the confusion and send her in with a check for lunch money and make sure she turned it in and all that jazz. Still not comprehending we have our baby starting kindergarten. Found out that Ava is going to be having the same teacher Isabella had for kindergarten. I am excited about that. We loved Mrs. Treon, I loved volunteering for her and helping her out each week and look forward to being able to do that again this year for Ava. All of the kindergarten teachers are great from what I hear but it's nice to know already this teachers teaching style, calm nature and just her overall teaching style.

Then, last night we had Ava's 5th birthday party. She had a blast! At one point though - in typical Ava style - she looks at mom, Steve and I and asked what we were still doing there? Um, sweet child - can we not be part of the fun also? Steve kinda wished I wasn't there - this store is the neatest store around. If I owned a little shop (for girls of course - which is one of my dreams but I doubt will ever happen) I would LOVE to have stuff like they have to sell - one example - a lego bracelet with little crystals between each lego! How stinking cute is that? That is just one example. I could go on and on about the neat and unique gifts this place has. I sincerely *heart* it. All of the kids Ava invited showed up and they all had a great time it seemed. The best part - you pay for the party and they have a party coordinator who runs the entire thing....aaaa-maaay-zing!

So, that's the latest and greatest. Looking forward to Monday where my Dr. has possibly given me false hopes of being 50% better and ready to walk while Kris runs. bahahahaha
