Getting through the Winter

I managed to do it again, fell asleep with Sydney on me halfway through a feeding at 3:30am only to wake an hour later to discover I need to finish her feeding! I find myself doing this several times a week, usually when I am exhausted. Needless to say, I was up more than I would have liked last night by my own doing! I did run a mile on the treadmill last night!!! Which I was surprised that it was very easy! I have decided to sign up for Martha's Run on April 10th, it is a 10k, which is probably a bit of a stretch for me at that point, but Greg said he would do it with me so I feel comfortable starting with a 10k. I'm excited to get back into running again, and of course for the weather to get warmer!

We are slowly making it through this crazy winter and all this snow which has caused us all to have cabin fever. I don't know what is worse staying in the house or trying to take everyone out when there is snow everywhere! Today we ventured to Gymsport, a gymnastics place that has preschool playtime several times a week. It is the perfect place to go in the winter to let your kids get their energy out. Anna tried the zip line before Sam, which does not surprise me, she looked so little holding onto that thing! Then, Sam decided that since his little sister is doing it that he would try it to. Of course he loved it just in time for us to go home. I just have to say one small thing about other parents and how rude they truly can be. Another mom let her 5 year old daughter get in line before Sam, which poor Sam didn't understand why he had to wait, but he was excellent! Then, the same mother allowed her daughter to slide down the slide into the foam pit on top of Anna's head! Now, I understand accidents happen, but an apology would have been nice or even an acknowledgement that something happened, but no some people are above that. It was time for us to go at that point. Of course my adventurous daughter tried to leave with another family. I always seem to push Sydney too much as the poor thing was screaming while I was trying to get every one's coat and shoes on. I felt bad, but she would have to wait until we got home and the older two got their lunches before she would get to eat......

I have two of the three down for naps and now it is time for a little "me" time. Unfortunately when I go back to work there will be no more me time, but for now "me" time will consist of trying to get back into my clothes! It is time for Tae Bo, yes the original Billy Blanks VIDEO that I copied from a good friend back in college! I have taped over some of it by accident with Elmo a few years back and it is a bit fuzzy, but it is my go to workout to loose weight every time I have a baby. My other secret weapon is Windsor pilates, I will be doing that following tae bo as long as the bambino sleeps that long! Keep your fingers crossed! Other things on the agenda today include finding cupcake invitations for Anna's birthday party, schedule my first aid and CPR trainings so I can go back to work next month, and schedule my 6 week postpartum appointment. Hopefully I can get all that done during nap time! All I really want to do is take a nap myself!
