next week yoga

So, I thought, after having such a good time on our walk yesterday, that we would do it again today. The forecast had been calling for rain, but it wasn't, and I was antsy, having not gotten out of the house at all, so we set out...

When we were about as far from the house as we could get (a good mile or so) it started to rain...ok, no problem, I will just turn around and head back...then it started raining harder...I am in a white tee and my "Sunday bra" (ya know the one that is basically thread bare and you only wear cuz all the other ones are in the laundry) well, because it offers NO SUPPORT, I can't run (that would hurt) so I am walking pretty fast, with my head down. I am not really paying any attention to anything other than the path directly in front of me, and I am just trying to get home as fast as possible. The stroller has a sun cover so the Pea is "safe" and the dog is trotting along nicely beside me. Well, right as we were rounding a corner, almost home, a couple of ducks (which I hadn't noticed), off the side of the path, in a yard, decide to waddle over to us to see if we have snacks...this apparently pisses off the dog and she takes off after them, hair on end, barking like a maniac. This jerks me off my feet and toward the ducks, which makes the stroller veer off the path in the opposite direction, INTO THE POND. I FREAK OUT, trying to rescue the stroller before it goes all the way in the water, and keep the dog from eating a duck...all the while being pulled in two different directions and giving the whole damn neighborhood a good glimpse at what I would look like in a wet t-shirt contest. OMG...by the time we got back to the house I was soaking wet, pissed off as hell and my heart rate was about 200 bpm. On the bright side; the dog seemed to have a blast and the Pea thought it was HILARIOUS and wanted to go "do it again mommy!"

There is no moral, no witty ending, no "something to ponder" I just wanted to share...thought you might get a laugh...usually I go to yoga on Sunday afternoons...next week, definitely yoga.
