Skidding Into The Pit
This has been one crazy mofo week.
Let's have a little music to celebrate making it through:
This week at Three Kid Circus:
I lost a hour. It wasn't my fault.
My therapist decided I am totally normal and apparently just lazy. Then he sent me away. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I'm thinking it was him, not me. Maybe I talked too much about myself. Ha! Ha ha ha! I crack myself up!
I restrained my squirming three year old through the following - the first grade production of Three Nanny Goats Gruff, a volunteer session in my son's class, two trips to Target and a class field trip to the Redwoods. I deserve a medal.
I also helped groom a horse while restraining my three year-old AND my five year-old so that my seven-year-old could have her second-ever riding lesson. In the space of the hour and a half we were at the stables, we coated all our shoes (and knees) with mud, set off the van alarm (and couldn't remember how to disengage it without help) and made friends with the giant, pony-like dog that roams the farm. I think I lost 20 years off my life trying to manage that particular feat. Next week, I'm hiring a sitter. And bringing a flask.
My Wind Horse Riding Girls heart is all aflutter over the horses, lemme tell you. I am SO asking for riding lessons for Mother's Day. Okay, how stinking cute is this? I mean, seriously?
Granted, I wouldn't look so cute perched on a horse, but still. I could reinact my favorite Trixie Belden plots! You wanna see something else that made my WHRG day?
That's the lovely and hilarious Deana of SquidInk, who shows her WHRG spirit while doing yoga.
I also jumped and jumped and jumped on the trampoline, managed a standing backbend (!) and have almost made the decision to delete all of the TiVo'd episodes of 24, now that I'm 7 weeks behind. I'm not going to catch up, so I think I might just let it go. (Shut up. This is big for me.)
I've just got to get through tonight, with a theatre performance of Curious George, and then I'm going to collapse in a heap.
How you feelin'? Hot hot hot?

I think you need a new therapist--one who is a mother. Seriously!

Lucky horse riding girl! I want riding lessons, too!

Your little equestrienne looks adorable! You should definitely take riding lessons so you can trot along with her.
I loved Trixie Belden -- she was lots more fun than Nancy Drew.

Yea- therapists. How do they know what's normal - they don't see that everyday :) I got "let go" by mine... he thought we had taken care of everything. Didn't he know I was just beginning??? BTW, the music is a cool addition :) So hot!

I have no idea whether I have ever commented here before, but I've enjoyed your space for quite some time now. I am dead impressed at how you embedded that sound file in your entry, and dying of curiosity to know how you did it? Especially as you used my favorite version of "Hot, Hot, Hot". Please share your secret? (I've left my URL and e-mail.) Thanks!

would the last line be referencing the sesame street song by any chance? bc that one gets stuck in my head all the time and not in a good way.

No I'm not feeling hot, hot, hot. I was expecting LL Cool J or the like and I got that foofy version of the conga line!!!!
I told you to drop that therapist. I'll straighten you out :))
You definitely get a medal for your 3 year old.
Your daughter looks precious!
Deana looks like my kind of gal!

The week is also a transitional one for the fourth-quarter earnings reporting period in that it brings the last big group of earnings pre-announcements ryansreview com which are typically more negative than positive -- and the first big group of actual earnings reports mediamarketers http://www.mediamarketers.com/2006/Links.asp
