Happy Leap Day

As you know, yesterday was a rough day. But I did have a little moment of dancing joy thinking about today being Leap Day. I felt like this:
I may have even " leaped" a little. The prospect of having a whole EXTRA day made me think of all the things I could get done. We are always saying we don't have enough time but every four years, we get an extra 24 hours to do magical things. These are 24 hours to do things you normally wouldn't. This is a time to do great things!!

And this is how my Leap Day has gone. Youngest came in my bathroom at 4am not feeling well. He came and laid down with us and a couple minutes later it started thundering and pouring. Big Dog is terrified of thunder and tries to lay on us during storms. This does not work when there are three of us in the bed. I got Big Dog to lay down next to the bed while I pet him. Youngest fell asleep but was making this kind of soft clucking noise in his sleep, almost like he was sighing every time he took a breath. Hmmm...I have heard him make that noise before and it is usually right before he...

Not fast enough, he shot up and threw up all over me and my side of the bed!! This is NOT how I was planning on starting my Leap Day. We stripped the bed, stripped Youngest and got him all cleaned up. He was able to go back to sleep but I wasn't. It was still thundering so Big Dog seized the empty bed opportunity and laid on me until the storm was over. Of course we were crowded on the dry side of the bed but Big Dog had no problem finding enough space to lay on me.

Youngest had a couple more explosions thru out the morning but he seems to be feeling better this evening. But then again, he felt ok yesterday evening, too. I am hoping he can go back to school tomorrow if not, Husband is able to spend the day with him. I am anxious to get out of the house.

It is a beautiful Leap Day here. Nice enough to have the windows open and actually look forward to Spring. I am forever thankful that we did not have a rough winter. I have new pool passes and am ready for Summer!

Ok Weight Warriors....
How did you do this month? I did not lose nor did I gain. Just kind of stuck. I am going to focus more on weight training, more water, more fish, and cutting my portions in half. And I will NOT be watching Food Network between 3pm and dinner time!! If any of you want to do a March challenge, let me know.  I am always up for new challenges.

I hope you all were able to enjoy your Leap Day and maybe did something you don't usually do. Me, I have more laundry to fold.

Here's to a Magnificent March!!

  1. I hope the kids are feeling better!! As for my weight... I have worked out and watched what I ate for the entire first week of lent. Although I am tired and hungry all time, I feel much more at peace and in control! I have lot about 3 pounds, but it the stocking with it long time that I struggle with. Hopefully the actual results (I weigh myself every day to keep myself in check) will keep me motivated!
