Feb. 7

This morning we woke up and Jessica was sick so we had to get her to the baby sitters instead of dropping her off at school. You never know when the day starts if one of the kids is going to be sick. Maddie was feeling a little sick on Monday but she made it to school and all. Nate has not missed a day of school for being sick. He only missed for a couple of funerals and NORBA Nationals a year ago. He is never sick but the girls are sick a couple times a year. Oh well she is feeling better now and up to bothering us as always. I love the fun that comes with parenting.

I witnessed it today as Randy bought a cruiser today from Alan at Ben's. Alan does have a Specialized cruiser he wants to sell yet so if you are looking for one call him. I don't know the price or anything but if interested I will try to pin him done. Well back to Randy he got a Diamond Back and is going to come out on Thursday. Like I said come check it out and we can try to get a bike for you and you can pick up some mad skills for the race season. So check out the ABA racing license and come and practice. It is well worth the time and money.

The ribs are feeling better today and I took the wrap off as the back was getting sore from pulling the shoulder blades together. The side only hurts when I cough or sneeze so I try to avoid both as much as possible. The sneezes I avoid at all means possible as they send a sharp pain down the side. I cough only to clear the throat as it doesn't hurt as much. The pain that the deep breathes that I take I have gotten used to and like it in a sick way. The pain is different from the other pains that experience everyday with the leg and all so I take a deep breath and cause the pain because I like it. I'm sick I know it.

The ribs felt ok on the rollers tonight as Nate and I did a sprint workout. They only hurt right at the end of the workout so that is way better then last week. I'm hoping that they feel better each day and by the weekend they are almost pain free for the races at the Steel Wheels track. It is a Race for Life on Saturday and the Redline Cup Qualifier race on Sunday. We are going on Friday and spending the weekend with Brandon and Taylor. That should be fun as we are staying a hotel with a pool and whirl pool and the kids should have a blast. I think Nate can do well and has a chance to win age and place in the top of the open class. He won age last year there and can do it again in Intermediate class. In open it may be tougher and in cruiser he can also do well. Maybe Nate can place in all 3. I hope to make the mains and place that is the only goal for me.

Well time to go and get the new number plates on the bikes and get the kids ready for bed. Nate got number 17 for his cruiser and 39 for the 20 inch bike. And I got number 19 for the number on my cruiser. Later..
