Snow snow drive!

Monday morning at around 1am my daughter called me from the driveway. She was stuck in the insane amount of snow. Of course, my back is doing better but not push a car out of the snow better. So we shoveled and salted and shoveled. Luckily Daniel, my youngest got home and we were able to eat it unstuck.

Wish I had a picture.

That morning I had to get up super early to get to Rock Springs on time for my shift. The roads weren't super bad and I love my Subaru - it's a snow machine! Great thing about driving up out of Salt Lake was the sunny skies and clear air!


I left early and by the time I got to work I was exhausted.  Ended up having a few mini naps throughout the day.    Unfortunately we didn't fly and the weather didn't let up much either.  On my way home on Wednesday, I had this to contend with:
About 100 miles away from home.  I sat there for an hour.  I may or may not have stewed about how frustrating all the travel my job entails.
Then I came home to this:
View from my front window.  That is Daniels car.  He has to pay to get it fixed.  We are on month two.  Teaching children about responsibility is aggravating!  My kids hadn't shoveled the driveway yet either.  That was the first thing they did when I got home.  SLAM the hammer down!! 

Lots of snow, lots of driving and lots of work.  Now, vacation!  (again!!) 

Picture updates while I sled in the great Island Park, Idaho!

 Mmmmm...hot Sake.  Coffee Stirrer= No helmet removal=warm noggin.
My favorite sled.  


BE SAFE!

Island Park, running & new tank

I totally forgot to take a picture of the outside of the cabin. My husband was ready and packed to leave before I even got out of my jammies, which is about par - so I feel a little hurried. Not that it's his fault, but I'm good to blame him, right?
I have totally slacked on eating healthy and running the past week. I believe that I didn't recover from the Ragnar enough before I jumped right back in. I should have taken a week off just for the stress of being up two days and running. I slept for about 15 hours a day the last few days. So today I finally planned a run. Not super long but not a short run. I planned to run from the cabin to Big Springs and back. According to google maps it was 8.4 miles, perfect. I slathered myself in sunscreen AND bug spray - those Mosquitos are loving me! (must be all the bacon)
Well, it turned out to be about nine miles and it was OK. Slow but not torture - close. Finished that run and cooled down a bit, showered and left.


Tonight I have Jumpboard class. My bad.


Check out my new tank. I got it from Kohls and I love it! So comfy!

It's hard to get a pic showing my whole shirt.  Even my arms aren't that long.


Pictures on the drive out of Island Park.  Pretty Lame pics.  Talk about lazy.
