I’m always in need of a good mechanic. ;)

Whooooahhh, Texas.. Slow your roll.

It’s like a freaking inferno outside.  INSANELY hot, even for me.  I could actually feel my skin cooking at the pool.  Don’t worry, I wore loads of sunblock and my shirt most of the time. 

But really, Summer..  WTF? 

Squeezed in an hour on the trainer..

while Eli watched a movie.  He said, mommy..  I totally don’t mind if you train before we go to the pool. 

What a guy. 

Now - we party at the fun pool!!

Me and Eli take on the week together.

My husband works for a social agency, as a counselor to at risk youth and teenagers.  Every Summer, they hold a camp.  Simon is old enough to go (Eli isn’t yet).  So today is the first week of that camp.  The morning was a flurry of packing lunches and clothes and towels for Simon while Eli sat on the couch and felt sad.  I promised Eli I’d make sure we had a fun week - just the two of us. 

I’m SUPER tired today.  I set an alarm to go for a run, and I just could not will my body out of the bed.  I kind of feel like I’m not getting enough rest on the weekends, and by Monday I’m wasted.  I may just need to back off for a week and see if a break helps. 

Eli asked to go to the pool today - so that’s the plan after lunch.  I have a few special surprises in my pocket for the week.  Most of all, I want to spend time with him.  Dunno how my training will fit into that, we’ll see if it does.
