Tuesday: Run, Yoga and Gilad

Ivan and the Balloon 

Ivan is now in nursery school and Tuesday and Thursday mornings which were otherwise quite laid back are becoming a BIT of a clustercuss.  I try to hurtle out of bed to get in my run, then get back and hope that Ivan is still asleep so that I can take a toddler-free shower, then run around in circles getting Ivan dressed in something presentable while he resists.  We attempt to get breakfast down both of us, and then we race at top speed to get in the car and four-wheel out of the driveway as if it were Nascar Sunday.  It is lovely that he goes to nursery school and loves his teachers and is learning through play, BUT I kind of miss my lazy Tuesday/ Thursdays.

Today, to further complicate my Tuesday, when I came in from my run, a hot air balloon had "emergency landed" in our front yard.  Ivan was beside himself.  Now, I personally do not mind if a balloon company is forced to land their balloon in our front yard.  It really is not anything to melt down about, but it sort of peeves me that a balloon lands in our yard, a truck or van drives in to pick up the pieces and whatever employee from whatever balloon company comes over to say that they are sorry about the emergency landing.  It happens so very often that I am pretty sure it is NOT QUITE a four alarm emergency.  It seems as if they see a large plot of land or know that a large plot of land is available and aim for our yard.

I would really feel much better about the whole situation if the balloon company would just say, "Hi, we are landing in your front field, because it is a large safe easy target.  Sorry to bug you again!" Instead of acting like it is some big happenstance every time.  It wears me out.  Anyway, Ivan LOVED it.

After a great Bible study, I got in yoga session and a Gilad workout.  I hit Yogurt World because it is double punch night, and I clearly had no other option!!
