WWW - Running edition

Let's all pretend that it is still Wednesday and that this edition of the Weekly Wednesday Wrap-up isn't late.

  • Yes, I am fully aware that today is Thursday not Wednesday but yesterday was so busy that I never even saw my computer.


  • I did take a walk yesterday morning. It was raging hot and humid and the air quality was horrid.


  • On the plus side, I did return home from my walk with four nice cucumbers.


  • Right after that, it was all running, all the time here.


  • Number Guy was running late for work.


  • Bobblehead was running late for the all-day play date.


  • Not her fault, really, since a seven-year-old can't legally drive in this state.


  • I ran a load of laundry while the girls played, then,


  • The three of us, Neatnik, Bobblehead, and I, ran to the store to pick up a few items.


  • While the children ran the hose to fill the wading pool, I ran the lawn mowers to rein in growth of all of those green things to which I am allergic.


  • I needed to frost the cupcakes for the Brownie scout end of year party but it was so warm beastly hot that the frosting was literally running through the pastry bag and I had to chill the filled bag before I could apply the frosting to the naked cupcakes.


  • All of this chilling and waiting caused me to be running really late for my allergy shot appointment.


  • I enlisted the assistance of the girls to load up the car and we ran to the park where the party was planned.


  • A couple of hours later, the cupcakes having been consumed, we ran back home where Bobblehead's mom met us and then Number Guy, Neatnik, and I ran down to the tae kwon do school to watch the adult colored belts test for promotion.


  • We finally got home around nine and Number Guy and I finally ate (too much) dinner.
So, there's the story of why the Weekly Wednesday Wrap-up is running late this week. It is also a snapshot of how the entire week has run, not that I can remember the details of each day, just that we've been keeping pretty busy this first full week of summer vacation.

So how do you manage to mow with your allergies?! thankfully my grass allergies have decreased as I have gotten older.

It's been miserably humid down here. I can deal with heat, but wet heat absolutely defeats me. Blech.

I hate running. I will, however, break into a trot if there is a cupcake at the finish line.
