What's up with Virginia drivers???

Fabiola and I went to the park today and decided to walk since it was pretty nicew out. Got the Chariott with the strolling attachment ready and headed out. Had a great time with all our friends. As we are heading back, I'm super careful in intersection because most people will not stop to let us cross.

We are crossing the street heading north, no cars are coming, a pickup truck heading south decides to make a sudden right hand turn from the left lane AS WE ARE CROSSING.

Well the F*&%$R almost hits us. he slowed down enough to yell sorry out the window and kept going. 

I hate people!

Had a good week and then sick again

Last week and the begining of this one were great. Got all my workouts in and was feeling really good. I've knocked off 1 minute of my per mile pace in the run and 20 seconds off in my per 100 meter swim. Then, woke up Thursday feeling like crap. Sore throat, stuffy. No swim, no bike. It stinks to feel like I'm getting aheasd and doing well and then something happens. 

I spend way too much time around babies and other people that are constantly sick. I have had about 4 colds since January and they always kick my a#%.

It's been a few weeks since mother's day. I have a picture in y hallway of me and my mom along with my sisters on my first mother's day as a baby. I was 6 months old. We are standing in front of our house. I tried recreating it with Fabiola, but it didn't turn out as cute as I expected. Maybe I was hoping for more. 

This is my mom in the picture on the left. The photo was taken way before I was born. A lot of people say we look a lot a like, I still have a hard time seeing it.

I haven't been able to enjpy mother's day since she died in 2000, but this year was diffrent. We took Fabiola on her mother;s day as a baby to the Reston Zoo. It was a lot of fun watching her trying to grab the camels and goats. 

I wonder regularly if Fabiola will have a hard time enjoying holidays if I die young also. Don't get me wrong, I plan on hanging around for a long time, but so did my mom.
