Decisions, Decisions….

Posted by Janice On July - 18 - 2006

!@(tent.gif popimg: “Camping!”)Three months ago, my AWESOME(!) hubby agreed to go camping with our daughter, myself and three other couples & their toddlers.  The three other families he’d never met – but he agreed to go anyways ‘cause he knew how badly I wanted to go and how much I love camping.   Great right?   Well now his stupid &^$*&^*’en job has gone and &*%*( ^’ed everything up.   I just found out that he has to work – Friday night/Saturday morning from 2 am until who knows when.  The campsite reservations are from Friday to Sunday and the campground is a 2 hour drive away.  Basically there’s no way he can make it ‘cause after going into work he’ll have to remain on call for the rest of the weekend.  I promised my friends back in March that we would go.  We’ve planned out all the meals, who’s going to bring what etc… So now I have to decide – do I go anyway?  You know, go camping with a toddler by myself?  Or do I not go and let the other couples down?  Also – I have to make my decision quickly ‘cause camping is THIS weekend!  What would you do?

Hips Don’t Lie

!@(048314_beauty.gif popimg: “Strappy Thong Sandal”)And well – neither do my lips.  I’m old – very old.  I got all dolled up in my sexy sandals, cute skirt and tight l’il shirt.  And?  Hmmm – lemme see – my feet are still sore two days later.  And my back – omg!  It is absolutely killing me.  Why – you ask?  Well let’s just say Friday night I took a step back in time and pretended I was 24 again.  I went out and partied like it was 1999.  With one exception….

Wishing Upon A Star

!@(sock.gif popimg: “Lucky Pink Sock”)When I was prego with Sierra, Cosmo Boy desperately wanted a girl.  He wanted a little Marie.  He drove around in his SUV with a pair of little wee pink socks hanging from his rearview mirror.  Normal people have dream catchers, dolphins or even dice hanging from their mirror but oh no – not Cosmo Boy.  He had his lucky pink socks.   Every day he would rub my tummy and tell me how badly he wanted a little Marie – a little blonde girl to be just like her mother…

You say it’s your birthday…

Posted by Janice On July - 10 - 2006

!@(cake.jpg popimg: “Cake!”)Well it’s my birthday too! My third annual 29th to be exact (I don’t count my age in years anymore). Let’s turn back the clock a bit… 10 years ago I turned 21. I remember being ticked off that I had to work on my birthday – the nerve! I was a lifeguard at a neighbourhood pool. (I did that for a number of years). The hours were long – I worked from 10 am until 8 pm everyday all summer from about mid-June until Labour Day weekend. I hated it ‘cause I had an hour bus ride to and from work so my day was 12 hours long. Yeah, yeah – I know how hard could 10 hours of sitting in the sun be? But honestly it was boring and therefore draining. AND I had no days off to recover from hang overs! Anyways – I was pissed about working. And you know what? I’m getting freaking old! I can’t remember what I did to celebrate that birthday – or the point that I was trying to make…. I may not be wiser, but I sure am older :smile: Oh well – Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me…

About Me

This blog is about me – Janice, a wife, mother, employee, runner, softball player, internet addict and a completely obsessed New Kids On The Block fan. My blog title is about my running, as at the time this blog began back in 2004 I was a running mother-to-be, training for a 1/2 marathon. Part way through the pregnancy running became too uncomfortable for me leading me to slowly back off on my running. Now a days “Mom On The Run” is a reflection of how busy life has become caring for 2 completely adorable, yet “spirited” little girls while my hubby travels A LOT for business, though I do still run on occasion.
