In sickness and in health

As I was leaving work yesterday, my husband called that he wasn't feeling well. He thought he may have the flu. Not good. I picked up everyone and headed home, and found him in bed. He was running a fever, but nothing too drastic. He stayed in bed, and I tended to the children. Needless to say, I didn't make it to the gym. I didn't think it was the flu, but he was convinced he was going to get it

He is doing better. Turns out it wasn't the flu as he suspected; but rather a cold bug. He is up and about, which is great news because otherwise, I would have had to banish him to his shop (can't afford to have the flu around my house). LOL

Not a good week for my training but sometimes life gets in the way. We can't change it, just move on. so I'm moving on. Looking forward to tomorrow morning.

Brrrr!

I cannot believe how cold it is! This is the south, it shouldn't be this cold! I'm sure I'll be craving this weather come August, but right now, I want at least temperatures in the 50s.

I broke my date with the elliptical machine. But I did XT. I did Pilates instead. I'm sore all over this morning, but it was really good to stretch.
I'll probably go to the gym and get on the treadmill tonight because it is just too cold to be outside. Yes, I know, it's not the same. BUT the thought of walking in the cold does not appeal to me right now. So I'm taking the easier route today.

My daughter has a soccer game Saturday. Trying to figure out how we are going to do this. Usually one of us takes her, the other stays home with the boys. With my family all gone to the funeral, we are short on babysitters. I may bring her with me (since the game is at 11:30), but I'm not sure what to do with her while we are out walking. Maybe I can convince her to hop on the stroller, but I'm thinking her legs may be too long for a stroller.
We'll figure it out before Saturday.

Stay warm everyone!!

Hump Day

well, I got my "flat tire" (as Mark put it) yesterday. Not entirely my fault. My husband's grandmother was in town (she lives in Anguila) so I took the kids to see her on our way home. We visited with her, and by the time I got home, bathed the kids, fed them, and put everyone in bed it was time for me to get in the bed.
Tonight is XT, so I have a date with the elliptical machine. Hopefully I can make it for 30 min. I'm guessing I won't be walking outside tomorrow morning, it is so COLD!! Where is the snow? If it's going to be this cold, there should be snow on the ground!

The boys did better last night. Woke up once, around 11 PM. I'll take it. Hopefully they'll do better tonight. One day at the time, right? I've been chanting that phrase from the moment the twins were born. When things get overwhelming, I remind myself that tomorrow is another day, and things will get better. so far, it has worked.

I need to go buy more layers because I'm planning on being bundled up Saturday. I saw some runners today, when I went out for lunch and they were wearing SHORTS!!!! how on earth???

I need to get some more gloves, and a hoodie or something. how about a ski mask? hat, jacket, thermal undies. LOL If I'm going to be outside, I want to be prepared. I hope it's not this cold in Chicago in October. But I guess with the excitement and adrenaline flowing, not to mention all the people there, it's probably hard to notice.
