DO NOT do this again...it makes you way too worn out!
45 min spin class from 6-6:45 am
Come home, shower, feed yourself and the girls
Bathe all the girls
GO GROCERY SHOPPING with all four girls
what on earth made me think I could do all of that was beyond me.
actually, I was so focused on whether or not we'd even make it through the whole trip
(it's Monday, it's really cold/snowing out, Samantha's not feeling well, there are two-year-old-potty-training-twins in the picture, ya da ya da)
that I spaced even entertaining the thought that I might be in over my head physically/energy wise
Now, without even having ever asked myself - I know....it can be done, but wowsas...plan a nap in the afternoon!
Another note:
with all those odds stacked against us - we did pretty good.
I even ran into a woman, who is still living, that has almost my exact stacking of kids who are now all in their 30's - she too was a military wife - what an encouragement she was!
AND we got complimented on how quiet we were being (she came for just one item apparently and caught us in our only 30 sec's of 'quiet' - but still!)
also, I kid you not, we didn't get asked ONE cliche question today - it's like a miracle or something! (God was probably thinking about all I had asked myself to do, He knew I hadn't!)
addition:
I can't believe I forgot to jot this down yesterday and for capturing the memories sake I must do it now!
we did, we made it through our trip, got everyone in the car and then drove away.
....without the groceries.....
;-)
I use the drive up service at Super T. and I left the guy standing there in 5 degree weather waiting for me.
I was about three city blocks away when I hear a little raspy voice from the back of the car, "Mama, where are the bags?"
"EEEEEKKKK!!!!! Oh SAMANTHA!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!"
So, we just whipped back around, got our groceries and THEN came home.
Like I said, maybe it was just a little too much!?

wow! i hope you can sit tonight. and get a good night's rest! i'm tired just hearing about it!
The spin class is great, right? I did a spin class yesterday at PLF over off Center Street. I have a membership there. I did the 5:30 spin class. What a great way to blast away about 500 calories. I'm headed back to the gym this afternoon. I think I'm going to try and do laps around the track, etc. I will try and hit spin again in the morning. Keep it up! You can do it! You Go Girl!
ha! i needed that laugh this morning. i'm so cranky. that sounds like something i would do...
