and the guilt sets in…

by Gretchen on July 22, 2010

Ever have one of those weeks… I’m in the midst of one. I don’t want to go to school, especially since I was yelled at for ‘parking without permission’, but, unable to locate the person I need to ‘ask permission from’ – what is up with that? Are we in kindergarten and trying to see who is King of the sandbox or in this case the parking lot? Totally ridiculous and I am so not in the mood, it’s summer and I don’t want to even have to park in the stinkin’ parking lot, not to mention it all could have been avoided since the putz watched me park, was a foot away from me and said nothing! OK, this is when I need to step away because nothing good can come of this… Just know that I’m not a happy camper this week.

Did I mention, cell phones don’t take kindly to a little water? So, I found out – dead phone! My hubs made sure to point out that the ‘drybag’ in the kayak was just that, a dry bag. So I spent Monday running around to get my cellphone fixed… ended up joining Dean in Droid-ville. I don’t know how it happened. I do know that I got in the car with my new phone and realized I don’t even know how to make a phonecall! Hello?! but it can do amazing things… too bad I’m technologically challenged! They saw me coming from a mile away…

So, to add salt to the wound… I’ve missed Bootcamp twice this week! and the guilt is creeping in! Monday was the Zac Brown band concert at Meadowbrook (which by the way was fabulous). As they say, ‘I got my toes in the water, arse in the sand / Not a worry in the world, a cold beer(uhh…”Water”) in my hand / Life is good today, life is good today …’

The sad part is that I missed Ladders at Bootcamp - I have been waiting for them for a while and I blew it.

My children haven’t seen me for 4days, I’ve been working and then the concert… my 10 year old hit me with the zinger ‘its ok Mom, we’re getting used to having just Dad put us to bed’ (wow! how’s that for a reality slap!). Guess what? It’s Tuesday and I’m still going to Bootcamp! I’ll just make dinner, sit with them, go to the 6pm class and be home to do the bedtime gig – it’s all good. Except, eating dinner right before Bootcamp is not advisable as I found out. Nope… had to bail on Tuesdays class as well. Arrgghh! Something’s not right with this picture…

It’s amazing how bad it is for my mind, body and spirit to miss Bootcamp. I can almost guarantee that had I gone to either day, I wouldn’t feel like ripping heads off of the putz’ I have to deal with during the day, and I would be ok with not being ‘mom of the year’ for 4days, and the cellphone would not have been impulsive. So you see, I need Bootcamp like normal people need air (have I mentioned lately, I’m not normal?)

I vow to get my booty into Booty for the rest of the week! I’ll see you there because… “Life is Good Today”

Blog you later!
