a day of mourning

Today was my grandfather's funeral. Really sad about not being able to go, but I also know that he would have told me to stay here and take care of my kids.

I went to Mass at lunch. I walked there, I love being downtown because I can go to St. Peter's Cathedral without having to drive. But I think from now on, I'm bringing my running shoes with me. The walk isn't that far (I'm across from the fed. bldg; the cathedral on West and Amite) but the boots I had on (with heels) are not made for walking (isn't that a country song?).

Still, it was gorgeous outside. I have to get out and do my 40 min this afternoon. I hope the rain waits until after I get it done. I really, really want to do more of my walking on the road rather than the treadmill. I can feel more when I do it outside and for some reason, my feet don't hurt when I walk on the road. umm, strange.

Of teething and other tales

One of the boys is teething. He has been whining, and just upset all weekend. The other one is not far behind, I'm sure, at the moment he is providing moral support to his brother. LOL So that basically means one is awake crying, and the other wakes up because, well, why not. I'm not sure how long we slept last night, but I can assure you it wasn't enough.

I didn't get my XT yesterday. For some reason, Sundays are very hard for me. I went to church, and spent most of the day trying to get some laundry done, and dealing with all 3 of the kids. That was it. I wanted a nap, but that was just wishful thinking on my part.

Thanks everyone for the prayers. The funeral is today, and I am not going to make it. I've decided not to go right now. Instead, I may plan a trip for my daughter and I after the school year ends. I know Abuelo would have understood, so I'm ok with my decision.

I was planning on getting up early today and get my walking in before work, but since I hardly slept last night, it'll have to wait until this afternoon. Hopefully I can do it before the rain arrives.
