My first triathlon is in 5 days. I am freaking out more than I can even explain. I went for an open water swim last night and it didn’t go great. I have done 5 open water swims in the past few weeks which I know has helped a TON, but…I still can’t get the comfortable breathing down until I have warmed up a bit. There really isn’t any way to get past that since I can really only warm up by swimming.
Otherwise, we had a good Labor Day weekend. We had some friends over on Sunday to eat. None of them had been to our house before and they hadn’t met our kids yet. Ryan smoked a pork shoulder all day and we had tacos, guacamole, and a corn salad. Very tasty! Lola was pretty good until the evening wore on…then she turned into ‘crazy Lola’ and she wouldn’t calm down. It was to the point of being embarrassing for both me and Ryan. We tried several times to talk to her and tell her to chill out, but she was just freaking out running around, grabbing onto people, basically the best way to describe the way she acted was like we had just given her 1200mg of caffeine. I’ll be surprised if we ever hear from these friends again!
We also finally got some rain last weekend. I was seriously getting sick of my 2nd job of watering our bushes and trees, trying to keep them alive. There is nothing like working all day, then going outside when it’s 90 degrees and humid and watering after the kids go to bed. I was so glad to get a break from that! We have lost several bushes and two trees look pretty bad. I figured the cost of water wouldn’t be nearly as much money as replacing decently sized bushes and trees.
