I couldn't get my last double digit (10 mile tempo) run in yesterday due to a migraine. Tried to run this morning and there were m'ther f'in javelinas everywhere and I couldn't even get out of my neighborhood. So after 3 attempts to get around them I ended up back home after 1.7 miles. I am going to try and run this evening when I get home but started to get nervous about this marathon in 9 days!

I've never heard of a javelina! They look cute. Do they run after you? How big are they?
I have been in a horrible mood this week. I'm annoyed about some crap at work, I'm still bummed about how my marathon went, my son is sick, and to cap things off, someone broke into our car yesterday (and broke a window, which we need to get fixed). I want to scream and cry and mope, but I'm too f*#ing busy at work, so I can't just hide out like I want to. I'm also supposed to be cleaning up my diet this week and going back to low sugar, but I just cannot do it right now. Last night I drank a large glass of wine, ate pecan pie ice cream, and then ate SIX fun sized chocolate bars. And I already ate cake for breakfast today. I feel like I can't do anything right this week.

The baristas at one of the Starbucks I frequent always ask if I've "been on the premises the entire time" when I go up to get a free refill before leaving. I'm like, "Yeah, I've been here for the past x amount of time, and I just want a refill before I leave".
You know, because if I was surreptitiously sneaking into your Starbucks with an old paper cup to con you out of some coffee, I'd totally answer "No, I just got here" to that question.
On our 5 mile run this morning, one of my dogs slowed up tremendously on the bridge near my house - almost creeping along. It's usually because he sees something (rabbit, squirrel, bird).
I looked to our right and on the bridge railing about 10 feet from us was a hawk just sitting there!! I tried to get my phone out for a pic, but just as i did he flew off. I didn't realize how big they are until i was right by it.
My random. (It's more of a WTF) We are about 1/1000th of a second into this "Lets have a baby" business and DH is already freaking me out. I know he's just SO excited, but I need him to chill.
We were sitting on the couch and he was looking at the iPad. He turns to be and says, "If we have a baby, what kind of car would you want?" (huh) Ummm, MY car?? (4-door Civic, super excited we paid it off 2 yrs early). Then he's all, "After my accident (someone hit him a few years ago, head-on in our Tundra. Truck held up fantastically!)), I just don't know that it's safe. Plus, a stroller in and out of your trunk might be difficult."
What.The.Fuck?! 1) It's been safe enough for ME to be driving for a few years now. What are you saying H?! 2) It's a Honda, not some cracker jax car. 3) We aren't even TRYING yet. 4) I had JUST expressed the fact that the cost of childcare gives me hives. Maybe you shouldn't follow that up with suggesting that we replace my PAID FOR car w/a $400+ car payment!

Aw, clseale, he's adorable. But crazy. I had a Civic until #2 was born, and the only reason we got rid of it is because DH got a company car. You (and baby!) will be just fine.
AAM2012 Wild boars are really vicious, I'd be hiding out too! Are they like a seasonal pest, or do they randomly show up year round?
They're here year around but tend to be more active during cooler months, at least from what I've read. This is my first year here so I am not really sure how other people run during this time, I guess they don't go out at 5am like I do but I have no other choice.
They can be really aggressive especially when there is a baby. Well of course this morning there was about 6 of them with a baby so I went around the block hoping they'd go away and I came back and I could hear one of then snorting?? and I was like nope nope nope. I feel like it was a stupid excuse to get out of running, I wish I could find a friend or group to run early like I used to have back in Florida

Since starting back to a grain free diet I've noticed a major decrease in my headaches. And then I ate whatever I wanted Sunday and had a horrible headache Monday. At a piece of office birthday cake Tuesday, had a horrible headache Wednesday morning.
After several trips to the doctor and no help with the cause of my ever increasing headaches, I think I may have figured it out myself. Although I'm not sure I'm ready to commit to a fully gluten free diet.
CallingAllAngels and lb2006, yes, he's very cute & he's just being protective. I know it's just his way of being excited, (He's been waiting on this for awhile.) Whenever we are expecting, I know I'll show excitement by looking at jogging strollers and nursery ideas. This is just his version of that. I get it. I just need him to wait until we are actually expecting. lol
AAM2012 -- I'm sorry! Those critters do look terrifying.
Wines Not Whines-- You are in a rough spot with everything. I'm especially sorry about the car; yikes! Hope your DS is well soon. I'm eating ALL THE SUGAR TOO. Ug. It's probably making me feel worse, but I don't care.
Me freaking too. I got an email a couple days ago that it shipped. It's supposed to be delivered today!
clseale I hear you! I wanted to be all breezy about the TTC thing, at least at first. Then Calvin, who I swear missed his calling in life to be a professional student, wanted to see the chart in action. So now we're charting. And now I feel like a science fair project. This cycle (our 1st of charting) has also stressed me out because he has been traveling a lot for work and will ask me to tell him what days he should come home, as if I can predict in advance, in cycle #1 of charting, after years on BCPs and therefore not ovulating at all, when I will now ovulate. And now we're in the 2ww (planning to POAS on Saturday) and he's gone again leaving me alone with my phantom/imagined pg symptoms and overactive imagination that I can't talk to anybody else about. SIGH.
I was supposed to workout last night but ended up working and didn't get home until 7:30. I can't workout today (at least not my usual stuff) because I have parent/teacher conferences and tomorrow is Halloween and I have a little one so we'll be out. I feel like I am lagging so far behind. I did workout Mon & Tues so this week hasn't all gone to crap but I feel guilty! I hope I can add something in tonight so I don't feel like crap.
I think my iPhone 4s is on self destruct mode. It now is running like crap. I have no memoery and no matter how many apps I delete or how many times I delete all my pictures and videos it still says I have no memory. Nothing has changed from a week or two ago to now. The amount of amount of storage my music takes isn't much and has never been an issue. Now most of the apps crash, including my fitness ones which piss me off. I swear Apple has me on their radar and knows I wasn't planning on upgrading anytime soon and is now forcing me to consider it.
LOL! Susie, I'm so happy I have someone else who is side-eyeing their DHs ttc crazies! Although, this means it's just going to get worse once we actually ARE trying, huh? WHY is my DH the girl in this relationship?!
Wines Not Whines, forget this cleaning up your diet business. You are in survival mode right now. Don't add that extra stress. I'm sorry. I hope things get better soon.

I've already jumped on that crazy train - seeing as my bob jogger arrived january 2nd or some nonsense It will sit in the closet until either
A) we're matched & travel to meet/bring home our adopted child B) we have a baby
none of these dates are anywhere close on a calendar, yet it's been sitting there for almost a year. Because, you know, amazon deal of the day!!!
one more random. I am at the end of this pair of shoes for marathon training - and plan to order another pair. It just so happened that the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 15 LADY LIBERTY shoes went on sale this morning and i wear the GTS 15s. I checked 45 minutes ago, not for sale. Just checked again - for sale and SOLD OUT of my size plus an array of others

I caught my child in a lie this morning and it broke my heart. On the plus side now I don't have to worry about racing home from trunk or treat at his school to make my Thursday night run because we're not going because of the lie.
Me freaking too. I got an email a couple days ago that it shipped. It's supposed to be delivered today!
EEEKKKKK!!
Mine hasn't shipped yet, but my carrier is nice enough to send me updates that say, "We will send you another email when your order has shipped." Thanks for nothing.
MH shared the baby crazies - though his focused on strollers. He was like...NUTS with the stroller thing. Months of research. Multiple trips to the store 45 minutes away to test them out. Borrowing other people's strollers (and children) to go for walks and see which we really liked best.
The only thing that's really frustrating is that he wanted to buy a bob, but 2 years ago I wasn't running, and I hated how big it was when folded - so we went with the City mini gt (which folds like MAGIC) aaaaaaand now I'm running and wish I had a jogger.
I keep waiting for the I told you so.
Unrelated: My shins hurt. Just a little. But it's making me nervous. I've been neglecting stretching though, so I'm hoping that's it.
Also - ya'll have listened to me ramble a couple of times - do you usually do intros? anything in particular you want to know since I intend to keep jumping in over here?
Our town is having Halloween tonight from 6-8. This is so strange. They announced it in the town newsletter, but what if people didn't read the newsletter? I sure don't.
Our last day of cross country was yesterday and I'm so sad about it. The kids loved it, and I enjoyed hanging out with the other parents. Now I'm expected to entertain them in the afternoons? DS is signed up for wrestling which sounds like my version of hell. All day tournaments on Sundays in a sweaty gym.
I missed running after a 2 day rest. I'm such a weirdo. I like being able to do 3-4m and being done for the day though.
I like reading the baby talk, but have nothing to add to that I'm looking forward to some upcoming BFP's. Please be posting that here, and not just on GP or dear lord, the Bump.

Ditto this! My babymaker is closed, but I love hearing about H&F babies - present and future.

lol, I'm scared of GP. I've lurked there, but it doesn't feel all that welcoming. I get why they have some of these (I'm sure it's annoying to answer stupid questions), but in the sticky post it's all DO NOT POST IF YOU'RE WONDERING THIS, and GO READ OTHER SITE'S FAQ'S BEFORE YOU EVEN THINK OF ASKING HERE, and LURK FIRST THEN WHEN YOU THINK YOU'RE READY TO POST, INTRODUCE YOURSELF. I thought about doing an intro post, but I ended up just...
I lurk and post a little on MMM, but y'all are stuck with my crazy.
