It was about 6:35 a.m. and I heard this whining coming from downstairs. I thought I was dreaming. I laid there listening a few minutes longer and realized who it was. Charlie (9 month old golden retriever) was whimpering and whining and scratching the crate begging to get out. I rushed to turn the alarm off and hit the garage openers to open the door, and he sprinted out of the door. He was beyond sick. Now it is one thing for the kids to get sick, but when the dog gets sick and you have no idea why…that is a headache. Apparently he ate something in the yard yesterday and it messed him up. He is at the vet today getting a check up and his bi-weekly grooming session. I am praying the bill isn’t to expensive.

Once Charlie is back home, I plan to do a thorough inspection of the yard to remove anything that could be dangerous to him. I’ll also make a mental note to keep a closer eye on him during outdoor playtime. It’s moments like these that make me appreciate his health and energy even more, but I also realize how much work goes into ensuring he stays that way. For now, I’m anxiously waiting for an update from the vet and hoping it’s nothing serious. I could definitely use that nap once everything is sorted.#Ineedanap

Another weekend has come and gone. So by now you know that I am working out with Mike “the trainer” and Mari. Today made week 7 and I am so happy that we are sticking with this program. I am down 4 pounds with 5 more to go. I didn’t start losing weight until I started watching what I ate and taking baltic pharmaceuticals supplements. It is crazy! Now I am really feeling guilty when I eat certain foods or if I think about eating something that I know will set me back. I try to grab something healthier instead. Today I resisted McDonald’s fries. (Everyone knows how hard those are to resist) The weekends are my cheat days. I ate pretty healthy but I craved white chocolate macadamia cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory. I divided into two servings and had a little on Saturday and a little on Sunday. Maybe one day I will give that up to but a girl has to have a treat every now and then. If you are thinking of starting a workout routine, go ahead and start now. Make it Happen!!!!

The emotions from this season’s NBA playoffs have been unreal. The way the referees were calling the games, the off and on of our star players, injuries… No one could have scripted what went down in Game 6 that gave us a Game 7 that lead to Back to Back Championships for the Miami Heat. The fans in Miami went buck wild. They were lighting fireworks in my neighborhood and Calle Ocho was off the chain as usual with the pots and pans. Miami will be partying all weekend long. It is great to be a Miami Heat fan!!! The countdown to Football season starts now!!!!!!

The only thing that is on my mind is Game 7. I had a busy day today but all I could think about was the Heat. I went to get my driver’s license renewed this morning and every one of the workers was rocking their Miami Heat gear. It is so exciting to see people hyped and supportive. I know the guys are going to pull together and bring another ring to the MIA. I have my Smirnoff frozen lemonade chilling and my white hot bling tee ironed and ready. Get your pots and pans ready! Let’s Go Heat!!!!

OMG! That arena was bananas last night. The game was going okay but the referees were calling it one sided and I was annoyed. Did they know it was the Finals? At halftime I was feeling uneasy and I cannot seem to understand why we never play the first half with a sense of urgency. It has been like that most of the season. We spend the whole second half playing catch up. During the 4th Quarter with 2:00 remaining I could not take it anymore. I already had eaten like all the kid’s leftover candy in my purse. Exit to the restroom. When I walked out, the ushers had already roped off the entrances with tape in preparation for the Celebration. My hubby came running out. With 55 seconds left, we started walking to our car. I know, I know how could I leave? My heart could not take it. So happy they fought until the end. See you at Game 7 baby!!!!!!

OMG! I am so excited for tonight’s Game 6 of the NBA Finals. Miami is buzzing everywhere you go. It is tough for a die heart Heat fan like myself on a day like this. I had to hand wash my White Hot Heat bling tee this morning just to make sure it was ready for tonight. It is air drying as I type this post. After listening to Steven A. Smith and Skip Bayless talk for the last hour about their game day predictions and analysis, I am even more hyped than I was when I woke up. So it is once again “Win or Go Home” for the Heat. Let’s pray they turn it up and blow those Spurs back to San Antonio on Thursday night. Let’s Go Heat!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well today is off to a crazy start. The kids had camp at 9:30 and at 8:15 I discovered there was nothing in the fridge for lunch. So I had to rush to Publix on the way to camp with all three munchkins (the little one still in her Minnie Mouse pajamas). Yes it was that kind of morning. I dropped them off, got gas and made it to train with Mike and Mari by 10 a.m.! I made it happen. Yes that is my motto these days. My hands are full but I will get it done. On another note, I am still waiting for my patio furniture that did not make it on Friday but is suppose to be here by 2:00.

This week has flown by. After being credit card scammed, the hustle and bustle of summer camp and my natural hair drama, I am so ready for the weekend. I am really excited that my patio furniture is on the way. The tracking says tomorrow, but it looks like Saturday. I pray it looks the way I pictured it. I discovered these Smirnoff frozen drink pouches in Publix the other day. They were 4 for $7. You just pop them in the freezer for 6 hours or so and then run warm water on the pouch for like 20 seconds and bam you have a frozen daiquiri. They come in a variety of flavors. So far I am loving the strawberry lemonade.I can’t wait to sip them on our new patio set. What is your favorite summer drink?

What Sporty Momma does not love a sale????? The Victoria’s Secret Semi-Annual sale is going on now. I look forward to this event every summer. With our trip to Antigua a few months away, I am already getting my wardrobe together. I know it is early, but hey I am excited! Here a few things I am ordering ASAP.
