First and foremost....I did the biathlon!!! Yeah me!!!! I rock. Yes, I do. It was a 5 mile run and a 12.3 mile bike...mostly uphill!!!! Now, the 5 mile run I swore I was going to walk. Then I went and got competitive like a silly woman. So I ran the whole thing. Dumb. Very dumb. I still hurt and today is Monday. Not just my muscles, my hip joints are also very angry with me. My husband has to pull me off the couch 'cause I can't get up myself!!! Pathetic. BUT I DID run the WHOLE time, and then biked the WHOLE time...not even resting after one of those giant hills!!! AND not only did I finish the race...but I BEAT 5 PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!! How awesome is that????? I so misjudged my finish time, though. Hubby was actually planning on being there 30 minutes early so he could psych up the boy...I wound up coming in 45 minutes earlier than I thought I would...so he saw me coasting in while he was driving down the hill...called sis to tell her how I did too, she hollers at me that she was just hunting down her camera, little A starts crying 'cause she wanted to be there...oops...sorry to rock so hard!!!
So I'm walking my bike up to the front of the Y, and Jason runs up to me..."Mommy, I missed it...can you do it again?" Ummmm...I don't think so. By this time, my butt is numb...though I do pedal around the parking lot to "race" with him.....very proud of myself. Just wish I could walk now. 
Second order or business...I'm done with xanga. I will miss you all so much...I know I haven't gotten on here lately much, but those of you I have made a connection with I do consider good friends. There's just too many problems with this affecting family and friends. I have used my xanga as a dumping ground for my thoughts and feelings, often being very open with them. This has hurt my daughter, sister, husband, and a few good friends. I don't think I"ve ever been too hurtful, but that's OK, I guess...it's just not worth it for the pain it's apparently caused. This really sucks, honestly....sorry Tejas, I know you hate that term, but it fits. Little notes:
KpsMom3: You are fantastic...I love your strong faith, your love for your family, your devotion. You take care of yourself and keep giving it up to God...He'll take care of you...but you know that don't you?
TejasTotallyBooked: So glad you seem to have learned to say no!!!! Though I seem to have caught your "yes" bug! Take it easy lady, and remember..don't pet the sweaty things!!! (or is that don't sweat the petty things? I always get those confused!
)Frogsong: You KEEP UP THAT BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK!!! You are doing GREAT. Stay strong in other things too...all will get better, regardless of what you decide...you are a VERY sweet, kind hearted lady...things can't HELP but get better.
Sherrytwinklz: Well, neighbor, I so identified with you half the time with what you've been working with with your relationship...your commentaries helped me quite a bit, realizing that we do have pretty typical relationships! (sigh
) Take care of yourself, your beautiful family, and that cutie patootie baby of yours...Mamaglop: I loved reading your stories of memories past...they brought me back so many pleasant ones of my own...thank you for that...and stay away from that head cheese...ewww!!!
*hugs*Lonelystarsabuv: You are inspirational, you know that? Stay strong, keep up the grades...and remember, you don't need anyone to complete you...you are awesome all by yourself.
FlimFlam_Papermom: I'll miss reading you, too...I know I didn't comment all the time...most of the time for lack of what do I say to that? I definitely want to pick up that book you wrote...cause your blog rocks! Hope things stay on the happy track for you as much as possible...and that last line up there for Lonely? That's good for you too...
Bkmg: Can't remember the numbers there...probably something like the year...anyway, BRIDGETTE, hope things go Okay with your kiddos...great comparing notes with our ages...so helpful...and hope everything works out otherwise...still expecting you to come do my hair, by the way!!!
Azcason: You, tinman, I may miss most of all. We are just too much alike, I think!!! Have fun down there in beautiful Hawaii...keep up the gorgeous pics for everyone...we all love seeing the sights down there...
Photomom: LOVED your picture blogs...your kids are so full of fun...takes a great mom to raise 'em like that, ya know!!! Take care of yourself...I'll be praying for you....
If I didn't name you up there, please know that you have been part of my life, and have, I"m sure, helped saved my sanity some way at one time or another!
I will miss everyone on my sub list...some don't come on here very much either anymore...hugs to all....

I am sorry you are leaving, seems everyone is taking off. Sometimes I think we should protect the posts we write when we vent especially about our families this way we get off our chest all the hurt and get some relief without yelling and screaming at them. I am sorry your family is upset with you.
Be well, I hope you find another way to vent.
Hugs

A biathalon? That is totally amazing!! Leaving Xanga? That totally sucks
I think this would be an appropriate time to use that word, lol. You will be very missed. Please come back and visit sometimes!
Awwwww, Thank you for the shout out!!!! I've been slack on here!!! I'm glad you love my blog.
Biathalon????You simply kick ass, girly!!!! Love, love, love the song
Congrats! My goodness! Very many Kudos to you! I can't believe you're leaving! I had tears in my eyes when I read that. You said some very nice things as well...tears there too. *sniff, sniff* Where are the dang tissues when you need them! Gonna miss you so very much. Take care girl & PLEASE visit us sometime. *****HUGS*****
Just stopped by to say hi and I can't believe that you plan on leaving xanga. I appreciated the kind words but I will miss you. What if you don't write about family members and just keep your post brief and still keep in touch? I had to stop writing about work on my other site because of problems, and thought about giving it up but I would always wonder what happened to my xanga friends so I started up under Frogsong. You can still be on here but limit what you share. Think about it my friend. ANd congrats on the biathilon. I never would have made it!! Sherri
I will definitely miss you a whole bunch....you were one of my original xanga friends when I started on here...and it did seem we had so much in common...I too related with your posts as well... I WILL MISS YOU. TAKE CARE OF YOUR FAMILY...AND ABOVE ALL...BE HAPPY...YOU DESERVE IT. YOU ARE A SWEET FUNNY AND WONDERFUL WOMAN AND IT WAS AN HONOR GETTING TO KNOW YOU ON HERE.....I WILL STILL BE AROUND...IF YOU NEED ME
I hope you do come back. You can always post protected -- would that help? At any rate... I hope you come back - we miss you! Thanks for thinking of me! We're all good here, although the folks on the big island aren't doing that great -- today we've had flooding whoo hoo... the fun never stops.
