Ice Skating in September....

I'm going to have to let the kids choose what activity we do more often. We got to spend some much needed time together this morning/afternoon and their choice today was to go ice skating at the Pettit Center in Milwaukee, WI. It was a blast and I can finally tell I'm in shape because nothing hurts - not my back, legs, shins, feet - nothing! So, here are some pics from today....

First, proof that both kids and I spent time actually ON the ice....


The Servais-Grohall family joined us.... and I'm glad that the kids are all friends... makes everything much more fun!!!

Now, I just have to wait to see them again. (Yes, I was driving while taking the picture in the car of the three of us...) :D




OTHER NEWS TO NOTE: The BREWERS won the wildcard spot!!! I would have really liked to be at Miller Park to see the chaos ensue on the field after they won their game against the Cubs and once they knew that the Mets had lost their game. I'm sure it was quite the experience as I listened to it on the radio after I dropped off Molly and Nate. I was so happy for the team that I almost cried.... although lately I cry at everything.


I'm back to the races tomorrow - literally.... going to try to best my 19 minute time in a 1.5 mile run. :D It's weird to actually look forward to that on a daily basis, but it's actually one of the only things that has given me some kind of piece of mind and escape from the rest of what life has thrown at me.


The kids humored me this afternoon and we went through a car lot today - there is a dark blue Hyndai Santa Fe that really caught my eye and I'm very seriously thinking about going back to that dealership tomorrow after work to see what we could work out on a trade-in of my car and final price on the Santa Fe.


Apartment hunting has been shitty. Saw one apartment with some possiblility yesterday and will have to talk it over with my future roommate....? Just an FYI - I'm one that goes with my gut a lot of the time and none of these apartments have given me that good, gut feeling.... and I'm thinking maybe I need to just let her find her own place and I'll stay in Elkhorn for a while with a newer vehicle.... maybe.


Again - yay Brewers!!!!


Have a lovely evening everyone.... I need to hit the apartment listings again. Smooch that loved one of yours and remind them how special they are to you. :D
