Simple (?) Equation

Take a step back to your youth and solve this simple word problem...

What do you get when:

Sister visiting from California
+ Going out of town for the weekend
+ Running a half-marathon on Saturday
+ PMS
+ Cooking dinner for 19 today
+ No working fridge
+ Pain with every footstep
+ Four whole days since last blog post
=????

If you guessed an exhausted, hobbling, irritable, distracted, ice cream craving lady who misses her blogging so much that she just had to sneak a quick post in while her indentured servants (aka Glen and the kids) are vacuuming and cleaning the playroom you'd be right on!

  1. Oh! i KNEW it. you ARE superwoman.

    WOW!

    You get it all done and manage to make it look effortless...okay, not really.

    But, you DID get it done.

    Congrats on the marathon.

  3. You go, Lara! I was wondering about you yesterday. It looks like the weather might have been a little wet but not completely drenching?

    And did I read correctly that Glen was vacuuming the playroom? Didn't he run a full marathon yesterday as well? I've got some cleaning over here that needs to be done. Perhaps he could run on over?

    But seriously, CONGRATS! You are, as always, amazing!

  6. Amazing indeed! You are the epitome of a Type "A" oldest child and we are so grateful for you and the example you set for the rest of us.

    We are proud of you.

    Love, Dad and Mom
