Cupcakes & Running... What????

OMG! I think I'm dreaming I was catch up on all most of my blog reading (this has been sorely neglected due to the massive screaming I have been enduring during the day which in turn causes me to find a dark quiet closet somewhere and rock back and forth until bed time)...I kid you not.

Any who I was catching up and ran across the most awesome thing I've seen a Cupcake Run.... Yes you heard that right Jess over at Run with Jess is hosting a Virtual 5k Run called the Cupcake Classic during the week of Oct 14th-21st.  Basically a virtual run is a race running/jogging/walking a specified distance, timing yourself, without actually being present in a race location.  Then the best part of this race is after your "race" you go treat yourself to a cupcake! Now that is a race I can so get into!   It's totally free to do just sign up, but she does have these very cute medals and even cuter shirts for purchase if you want them and of course I want so I ordered one of each :)

 If you'd like more info on Jess's Cupcake Classic click here.  I am so looking forward to it and it will give me a goal to work towards seeing as how I won't be able to run the race I was planning for Sept. for no other reason than I totally lagged and didn't sign up and I really don't feel it seeing as how I have also been totally lagging in the running department.  Though I am coming back strong!



 

and seriously how cute is her button...

My Ears Are Bleeding!!!

Ok so I totally failed on the weigh-in...I'm fing up to 200.8! Ugh...up 1.2 pounds

But I'm not letting it get me down, I totally know why it's up... I've been eating like crap, ok actually I've been eating ok but snacking like crazy on crap! And again I know the reason, it's September, and that my friends is the beginning of the new school year which means new kids and pretty much hell for me...
 I've mentioned it before but I am a Pre-school teacher and I teach the 2 yr. old class most of which have never been in school or away from their parents before *(why oh why do parents do this it's NOT a good thing, it is OK to leave your kid with a sitter or family friend or anyone who is not an axe murder or cult member. I know you love your kids more than anything in the world, just like I love mine most of the time but never leaving them for a second when they are babies then all of a sudden when they are 2 you drop them off to a complete stranger in a place they are unfamiliar with, and then wonder why they are screaming their heads off??? Come on it's not rocket science.  If you ever plan on taking your little bundles of joys to pre-school when they hit that magic #2 just remember practice makes perfect go out and have some grown-up time and show them you come back both of you will be happier for it!  and believe me your kids teachers will forever be grateful!!*

OK I'm off my soapbox now...but all that being said I am an emotional eater especially when I'm stressed so lock me in a classroom full of 17 kiddos, 6 of whom are screaming their heads off and making my ears bleed and yes I am running straight to the red vines, cookies, and anything else thats in the staff room.

Disney Weekend

It was a pretty kickback weekend. Not much going on so DQ and I decided to go to the Happiest Place on Earth cause we only ever stay a few hours. We have Disneyland passes and love to go as much as possible, but with the new Cars Land opening we have stayed away all summer, sorry I love the place but nothing is worth standing in line for 3+ hours with a 5 year old, and I figure we'll go hit those rides when the crowds die down in late sept. So we pretty much did our usual Fantasy and Adventure Lands.

I did pretty good food wise I almost always pack us a lunch and or snacks otherwise I am totally tempted by the Monte Cristo sandwich.

This thing is like crack...I'm totally serious

If you've never heard of it you should feel deprived and thankful all at the same time. This little slice of heaven is so damn bad for you, basically it's a turkey, ham, and Swiss sandwich that is deep fried sprinkled with powdered sugar and served with berry preserves weird I know but oh so good... Any way Disneyland is one of the very few places you can get one here in So. Cal.

 But I regress like I said I packed lunch P.B and J (better than the deep fried one) ohh deep fried PB&J and apples, but we did splurge on a churro... Come on how can you go to Disney and not get a churro.

It's a Small world after all :)

The Teacups

My girl loves the carousel.

and a churro on the train...

Hope you all had a great weekend too!
