100 Push Up Challenge

I didn’t do 100 push ups but I have joined the challenge.

I was able to do 13 (perfect) push ups on the initial test. This means that I am in Rank 2 still not sure what that means.

Here is what this means for me based on the challenges plan for week 1:

Day 1 – I have to work my way down 5 levels of push-ups with a 60 second rest in between each level. (10, 10, 8, 6, 7)

Day 2 – (12, 12, 10, 10, 10) with 90 second rest period in between levels.

Day 3 – (15, 13, 10, 10, 15) with 120 second rest period in between levels.

Oh gawd, I don’t know about this. I’ll keep you informed.

Outrageous – Horrifying Neglect? Or an Innocent Accident? You decide.

Mom Logic posted a question: Should a couples other 7 children be taken away?

It appears that a couple in Las Vegas who had 8 children failed to realize that their MD 4 year old son was missing for 17 hours. What?????

Oh wait, it gets better.

For the end of the story come on over here.

Top Five on Friday

Head on over to The Music Memoirs Top Five on Friday if you want to play along.

Top five songs with “places” in the title. (Cities, States, Countries etc..even if they don’t exist)

I loved this and I found it really easy. It took about 1.4 minutes to come up with these songs.

Meet me In St. Louis by Judy Garland – I heart musicals.
Weekend in New England by Barry Manilow – One of the most beautiful piano pieces ever written.
New York City Rhythm by Barry Manilow
Born in the USA by Springsteen
Streets of Philadelphia by Springsteen

Friday Fun – Sick

Over at Friday Fun they had this meme

1. What kind of patient are you? The demanding never happy kind, the leave me the h*ll alone kind, or the grateful kind? Or some combination of them?!

When I was in the hospital I was the grateful, I know you are just doing your job kind except once when a nurse challenged me in regards to feeding my son. Then I was the don’t F with me kind.

2. Are you a good nurse, or do sick people make you want to run for it? I am a really good nurse, even when people aren’t sick I want to nurse them.

3. What is your favorite remedy for the flu? Sleep, warm/hot water and lemon, and toast

Stay healthy!

Fill-In

I blog-hogged (phrase I stole from Bek) twice in this post. Snagged this little Fill-In from Jaime

1. The last compliment I got was from Bek; she said in an email, that she liked me hair cut.

2. I’m reading Slash

3. I woke up today and thought it’s morning already?

4. Why does everyone in this house think I should jump when they ask me for something?

5. The last thing I ate was t-bone steak that Teach surprised me with when he went grocery shopping this evening.

6. January… Was last month

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to Getting the kids to bed and relaxing in front of a tv, falling asleep whenever it happens.

Tomorrow my plans include keeping the kids out of the way so the Teach can enjoy his team win the Superbowl.

Sunday, I want to Catch up on backing up my pictures.

Randomness

randomness…feed your mind and your blog

 

1. soda or water?

Ah, I love my water. I used to drink so much more but now my kids drink all my water. I know this isn’t a bad thing for them but it really sucks for me. My kids have yet to have soda including the 4 year old. My daughter does like seltzer though. 

2. mustard or ketchup? It depends on the food. Certain condiments go with certain foods.

3. lake or beach? Since a pool isn’t an option I choose lake. We spent the whole summer at our lake last year and I can’t wait to do it again this year.

4. rent a dvd or go to the theater? The last time I was at a theater was 2003. It was to see the Pirates of the Caribbean but I was a nursing mom of a newborn and well it was dark, someone was watching the baby, the seat was comfy. I did what any new mom would do. I slept.

5. log onto the Internet or go for a jog? I truly wish I could say I would go for a jog buuuuttttt….

6. read a book or watch a movie? I love both. Sitting down to a book is wonderful. Watching a movie with someone is wonderful. Depends on whether I have company or not.

7. Italian food or Chinese food? That is really hard. I love both but I think I could eat Italian food daily. One day of Chinese and I feel like I need to stay away from it for a month or more.

8. summer or winter? The old me, prior to last summer would have said winter. I hate being hot but last year rocked. My kids and I spent an awesome time at the lake during the week and on the weekend my husband came along. It was everything I hoped family time would be so Summer all the way.

till next time…
