I feel like I'm living the game Angry Birds. There has been a Robin attacking my kitchen window since Tuesday. The Big One shot at it with an air soft gun on Day 1. He missed, scared Robin away for a little bit, but he came back shortly after. I then suggested he let the cat out (same cat who is scared of hamsters in plastic balls, but the bird doesn't need to know that). Mr Angry Bird just sat on the fence, glaring at the cat until he came back in, and went back at it. Day 2 he started up at 6 am. I tried hanging fake hawk shadows in the window. He laughed at my efforts, and was still going strong when I went to bed at 9. Day 3 he decided that one window wasn't enough, and went after the bathroom window as well. I recorded him, standing right in the kitchen window, and he didn't care that I was standing right there. Day 4 The Big One shot at him with his BB gun, and again missed (as I knew he would) and Bubba and I went to go buy a big scary plastic owl. Today is Day 5. After sizing up the owl, Mr Angry Bird again laughed at my efforts and went right back at it. The cat facisnated by this bird, was sitting in the kitchen window, and bird kept going at it. Someone has now suggested shiny mylar balloons. I will buy four. One for each of my back windows. If that doesn't work, I'm giving my ex the house back and moving in with whomever has room for me, my two boys, two hamsters, my cat, and of course, my bike.
My first triathlon of the season is four weeks from today. I'm pretty sure I am going to bonk, hard core, but I will finish the race on my own two feet. This training as a single mom is a little harder than I thought. Especially with both boys having activities that take up time. I'm hoping to get on the bike course at least once prior to the race. Was supposed to ride today, but my training partner got scared off by the rain. I still love her any way. Came to the realization this afternoon that Green Lakes tri takes place on what will most likely be day two of my cycle. This is not a good thing. Really hope I'm late this cycle, so that I don't have to worry about it. I know you don't need to know this, but it's kind of freaking me out. One thing I had hoped to avoid until I don't feel like a newbie triathlete anymore. Sometimes men don't know how easy they have it! Really would still appreciat...
