As you ALL know (even those of you visiting for the first time, of course, because I’m so famous), I LOVE Project Runway. In fact, I PVR (that’s Canada-speak for Tivo) every episode of it and am known to watch reruns at 3:30 in the morning — when I’m nursing the rascal — not closing my eyes until Heidi issues the final “Auf wiedersehen.” Well!
The best line of all time took place in Season 2, when Zulema Griffin requests that the models do a “walk-off” so she can determine which one she wants to represent her design. Cue Daniel Vosovic (LOVE!): “It’s a mother-f*in walk-off!”
For those of you who haven’t seen this brillers TV moment, and even for those of you who HAVE, I GOT VID! Check it:
Classic Project Runway moment. CLASSIC. Make. It. WORK.
A-ny-way….Where was I going with this? Oh yes. Walk-off.
Gorgeouses, I had a mother f*in walk-off of my own this afternoon. YES! It took me, no joke, FIVE HOURS to get the kids out of the house — what, between diaper changes, and washroom trips (FAKE washroom trips), and POSSIBLY IRRETRIEVABLE princess shoes (WAHHH!)….

I said POSSIBLY irretrievable….

Go MONKEY! Look at my big girl! See? The toilet! NOT a big bad scary place! Feel free to pee in it again, Monkey….
I was DETERMINED to get in my workout, though. When I finally hustled the monkeys into the double stroller, off I went on my mother-f*in walk-off. I was WALKING OFF all those bananas my preggers weight, of course, SO HELP ME, GOD! But, then, I got a little carried away….

A POND, Gorgeouses!
…I walked a little bit too far…. And, a little bit too hard for my still-weak self.
Check out this mother-f*in HILL I CLIMBED while pushing double stroller!

HOLY friggin’ BANANAS, BATMAN! Am I INSANE? (No need to answer that, thankyouverymuch!)
And, the wind. OH, the wind! Was not good for this dang wicked-arse flu-cold I’ve been battling, to say the least. But, the monkeys enjoyed themselves. Fell asleep on me….

My monkeys and their self-soothing: Monkey suckin’ her thumb and clutching her collarbone; and, Rascal sucking his middle two fingers…. Orthodontists HERE I COME!?
…And, the rascal’s sock…?

FOOOOOOT! (forgive quality of photos — it’s Pinkberry’s fault.)
IMPOSSIBLY retrievable.
He is still wearing only one sock.
And, I? I am WIPED. From my mother-f*ing walk-off.

I went to the gym at 9pm. With a fever. We’re all in this craziness together Haley !

Did you walk back home?! Pushing the stroller down that hill? (I have done stuff like that before and been so tempted to call someone to come and rescue me. So far I have always made it back home…)
You brave, silly girl! I hope you get to sleep off that walk. Glad you are feeling a bit better today.

Oh, I do remember the baby days when it took FOR FRICKIN’ EVER to get out of the house.
I remember one time, we were late for a doctor’s appointment and we were all ready to go until I put the bunny in her carseat and she spit up all over the place…I MEAN EVERYWHERE!!!! I almost had to cancel the appointment.

Impressive!
I forgot just how hard it was to get kids out the door. Seriously …
As soon as I get the kids ready the baby needs to nurse and my son needs to poop (and he takes all his clothes off – don’t ask). I’m trying, but I figure that if people can’t understand that I’m trying well … they can just deal

Is there some law that states that babies can never wear more than one sock at a time? I think there might be.
Isn’t it GREAT to finally be able to leave the freaking house again? Oh yeah.

Yay for the walk off. When DD was little I would do walk offs all the time…but then the little monster got big enough to want to walk too…well that does me absolutely NO GOOD! cuz she doesn’t walk at a consistant rate to keep my heart rate up…so now we stroll! sigh
Lucky for me the kid likes ice skating…so now I can do skate offs. I may even get us roller blades so we can skate on the street and it won’t cost me $$ to skate.

You shame me with your activity.
I’m gonna guess that sitting on the couch, blogging is not the equal to your walk, no matter how much I wish it, eh?
Smooches, friend.

oh my good god…the walking! i could never! you are awesome.
UrbanDaddy said, April 16th, 2008 at 6:39 pm
Yonge and York Mills, eh? I did that walk from our old house – near you – to the office many time. That hill is deadly, especially in the summer. Now I get the less steep but equally annoying hill coming over to Avenue Road from Yonge street. Keep up the good work. A good walk with the kiddies a day keeps… Aww, forget it. You need a Starbucks with you at all time. LOL>
