My The3Day Walk for the Cure in pictures....

I have so much to write about my 3Day Experience this past weekend. Currently, I am laid up in bed with my left leg up resting both my knee and my ankle. My right foot, well my right foot looks like something out of a horror movie. I will spare you pictures. 

For now, I do not have the energy to share words, but I will share pictures of one of the many favorite moments of the3day Walk for the Cure!

Cheering Section #1, Day 3.

MAMA!!!!!!!!  JAMES!!!!!!!

Remember to breathe...

(and, I really need to get my color done. Or brush my hair. Better yet, wash it.)

Lilly made us a poster! The best poster ever!

High Five to the Maidens for Mammograms and Margaritas!

Don't cry mama!

From this cheering section on the last day, I did go on to walk a few more miles, then get "swept" to lunch so I could get my knee fixed. From there my team mates and I, along with thousands of others went on to complete 60 miles. I will write more about my wonderful team, the overall experience and what it all means to me soon. I promise!

I can not leave this post without a few words, not the full story yet, but simple words to describe my teammates on Maidens for Mammograms and Margaritas. I met three women who were simply wonderful, fit into my life like a glove and who will remain in my life until they kick me out of theirs. I spent 36 straight hours with the team captain, Periwinkle Papillon (or Sara as I like to call her). I can't imagine how we haven't been friends forever, and I look forward to a lifetime of laughs, hugs and friendship!

We were so very tired! Can't you tell?

PS:  I haven't updated my widget in the right column, at the top yet. I did complete the3Day but if you still want to donate to this amazing cause, please do so. As soon as they stop collecting donations in my name, sometime in October, I will put up a new one for general donations. Thanks!

Still tired...

So, as you know I went away for five days with no children and I am more tired than I have been in a long time.  Four days of acting like I was twenty-one and then thirty-one is exhausting.  I cooked more, laughed more and hung out more than I have in five years.  I had the time of my life, and I couldn't be more thankful to Jeff, my in-laws, parents and sister for making it possible.  Not to mention the wonderful friends who took the time to come hang out with us.  

We came home to a sick baby, and immediately felt at home.  I mean what is Monday afternoon without diarrhea and a trip to urgent care.  We are on the mend and ready for the weekend so we can be all kinds of busy again.  And how in the world is it Thanksgiving?  I mean really, time moves so fast.  I must remember to appreciate every minute of it even when James is crying, Lilly is whining and I have to figure out what to make for dinner.  In-n-Out it is!

I am exhausted...

Happy Halloween!

Home and I am tired....

Lilly and I returned from our five day Disney adventure.  I am beyond exhausted and event though I want to share all of my insights and thoughts on the trip, I am just too tired to do so.  I have five billion pictures and videos to share but for now I leave you with two pictures of Lilly having the worst time of her life.
