Day off

At 5:58am this morning, I sneezed for what seemed like two straight minutes. This was a full hour and 20 minutes before my alarm was going off. My day off was not getting off to a good start. Once you sneeze yourself awake, there's no getting back to bed.

I pretty much felt like this (this is not any of my dogs). But I laid in bed until about 6:30 then got up and fired up the waffle maker. This morning was blueberry and choco chip (not mixed) waffles. I discovered yesterday that I like blueberries. Who knew?? Middle child had some, too, and said "They taste like grapes". I like them right out of the container, but the kids like them in the waffles. I am happy that I can add another fruit to my very short list of fruits I like.

I promptly went back to bed after the kids got on the bus and slept for a solid 2 hours. I woke up feeling better in spirit, but still fighting this cold. But I hopped on the treadmill and got a great 40 minute walk/run in. I think sometimes all it takes it some sweat to make you feel better. At least for me anyway.

I hit Meijer and shopped at some other places, home in time to unload all the groceries, then head up to pick up Daughter. I hit the library on the way, too. I love the library. It truly makes my soul happy. The kids screaming in the kids section did NOT make my soul happy, but I have been there, so I just smiled at the mom. Nothing like a kid screaming their head off because you won't check out the Dora Halloween dvd. Seriously, just check it out!! 

I made taco chili in the crockpot and it was really good. We will be eating it for the next couple days in tortillas and on salads, but that's ok. I love leftovers. 

As mom's, we don't really ever get a real day off. I didn't have to work but I still had to do things related to my family. The one thing I refused to do today was LAUNDRY. It was staring at me the whole time on the treadmill, but I refused to give in, "You can wait until tomorrow!" I shouted at the forever growing pile!

Busy day tomorrow so early to bed for everyone tonight. That's my hope anyway. I hope you have a great weekend!

Weight Warriors: I weighed in this morning and had a 2 lb loss, down to 147. I have been making sure to get enough fat in my diet and it really is helping me stay full longer. Seems my fat phobia WAS the issue. I have noticed, too, that my kids don't eat a lot of stuff with high fat content. Maybe if they ate more fat, they wouldn't eat every three minutes!  Do your best this weekend and have fun with your families.

Thanks for reading!
