Back to Square One

For the first time in 12 years my husband said no to something I really wanted.  So, no new dog this morning.  It’s his house too and, in the scheme of my life, he does rank above an animal.  I was trying to figure out when to go to the gym, wanting to do it in the morning yet not have him going into work later.  I really don’t think that’s going to work at all.  For example - dd came in and climbed into bed about 2 this morning.  Since they’re not allowed to sleep in our bed unless really sick, she needed to go back to her bed.  Then my son had another round of croupe about 5:30.  My husband never even heard him.  If I were to work out at the gym, I would have been gone when it happened. 

I guess there are going to have to be a couple of nights a week where he prepares dinner.  He’s typically home by 4:30 so I can go to the gym then to do weights.  I don’t have a problem leaving the kids with him when he’s awake, but if they’re still asleep and so is he. . .  He doesn’t hear anything.  He’s even slept through an earthquake - no joke.

I’ll figure it out, I’m sure.  I just don’t feel like it today.  I caught the kiddie crud and sort of feel like crap today.  I don’t know how some of you are able to work through this type of stuff.  I just want to sleep.

Yesterday I got in 60 minutes of cardio, kept my calories within range and drank all my water.  All in all, it was a good day.  I expect today to be the same, regardless of how I currently feel.  That is what medication is for! :)

Have a good Tuesday.

    My daughter comes to our room at 2 every morning too. Im not really sure why. But we won’t let her sleep in our bed either. But now she just sneeks in and sleeps on the floor next to my side. How do husbands sleep thru everything and we hear every little thing?! My husband is the same way. I haven’t quite figured that one out.
    Good luck getting to the gym today. You are doing an awesome job!!
    Hope you feel better soon. Its tough having to deal with kids all day feeling like crap!!

    My husband is the same way! I think it is in the male genes to tune things out! I wish I could do that!
    Sorry your dog plans fell through. I know you will find a way to keep working out if you really want to. If only we had more time in the day….
    Fell better soon Diane!

    I’m feelin good at the moment! Now if I can just remember how to use my coffee machine to combat the cold medication that I didn’t realize was NOT non-drowsy. Kids are having a hayday.
