Breaking The Rules because I Need Your Advice

I'm breaking the rules big time today.  What rules? My rules.  I told myself that today I would leave the computer off all morning and not get on it until my son takes a nap around 2.  Yep.  I've already fallen off the computer-ban wagon like 10 times.  Kind of feel like I'm losing my mind today.  Seriously...kids disagreeing with each other over every. single. thing this morning. My son has been climbing the cupboards whenever I turn my back because he wants more like a HANDFUL of his gummy vitamins instead of the allotted dosage of only 2.  Oh, and as soon as I call the chiropractic clinic to ask them for some available times, my kids start screaming and get into an all-out brawl over my son running down the hall with my daughter's current portrait masterpiece that he is about to add the finishing touches to! Might I add that he is wearing his new size 2T boxer briefs and green rubber froggy boots so it makes the whole thing just that much more entertaining.  Oh, and he was carrying a purse and a play cell phone.  Here is kind of what he looked like:

Okay, here's the real reason I'm posting.  Any of you out there get sports massages before a race?  I've heard that you should schedule the sports massage 3 days to 1 week before the Big Race.  My race is next Saturday.  Do you think that a heavy hour long massage on Wednesday night is too close to race day?  I'm sure I've OVER thinking things but I just really want things to come together as perfectly as they can. Don't we all?  I want to make sure I'm ready to ROCK it on Saturday morning and that all the pieces just come together.  


1.  I'll be announcing the winners of the cookbook sometime soon!  
2.  Please share any info or advice you have on this massage thing.  Would it be better to schedule it one week before instead of 2.5 days before???  
3. Oh, and guess what?  I'm only about 1,000 (one THOUSAND) votes from being in first place in this Circle of Moms thing.  1,000.  Fun stuff here.  Thanks for your votes.  You can vote HERE.   PLEASE and THANK YOU!! It seriously only takes 2 seconds.
