Phew! I had a hard time getting into my server tonight and almost had to post Workout Wednesday on Thursday!
This has been a terrible week for me workout wise, but I will post it anyway.
I had my usual two walks to school each day. I run (can I admit that it was a very short 1.5k) and a swim.
And it is this swim that reminded me that swimming is such an awesome form of exercise. I will give you a single exercise next week when I am able to get back into my gym. Although I take J to swimming lessons every week, I truly forget how great it is to get into the pool and stretch, work your legs and arms and overall just get exercise without feeling it.
Today, after all the sickies we had in the house, I packed up J and my niece and nephew and headed to the pool. Not only is it still pretty inexpensive to go for a swim (I think my coffee costs more at the drive thru) but everyone was exhausted afterwards. All three kids were asleep and snoring by 7:15pm and I am not far behind.
Now, if only I can figure out how to make our round above ground pool into a long lane pool this summer. I kid, of course.
We just finished day four of the kids being together and so far so good. There have been no timeouts and no blood. The three boys are like glue, they can’t get enough of each other. I hope they drink it in since we don’t know how long it will be before they see each other again.
On another note, I got to enjoy a very short version of Apple’s gastro bug. Thankfully it was only about twelve hours long. Apple and Hubby suffered the longest, which was terrible as Hubby was on a work trip and I was alone with Apple. Even if he was here sick, it would have been easier to have him here. Thankfully, J has not got it and hopefully it is gone from the house for good.
Sorry for my sporadic posting this week. Apple was just so sick. She had a tummy bug. I would think she would be over it and then she would get worse again. Finally, after almost a week of not really eating at all, she ate. And ate, and ate and ate. So I can safely say that today she is back to her old self. Non-picky eat all day long little girl. And I couldn’t be happier, I was really getting worried.
My eldest Sister, whom I usually visit in Regina in May, arrived yesterday to drop off her four kids with my Parents. She is going to India with her Husband. He is traveling for work and she is tagging along. It should be an adventure for sure. At the same time we are going to have our own little adventure here entertaining her four kids along with my two kids and my other Sister’s two kids.
The three boys shouldn’t be a problem as they just play and play and play, but my eldest niece just turned eight and she is getting a bit bored already. Her parents left this morning.
My two little nieces that are the same age have a wonderful time together too. Apple kind of gets in the way, she is tough enough, but she can wait.
For now Apple has her baby cousin to love and enjoy. She was sitting beside him on my Mom’s lap and slowly kept kissing and hugging him until she was lying on top of him. He didn’t seem to mind and my Mom couldn’t stop laughing.
Today we were all exhausted but, the kids played well. Round three tomorrow!
