Big day and Lavender
Today was a big day for me… a life-changing day…and I am not sure how I feel about it…. I know in my heart that God is watching out for me, but personally I am reeling…..
I am hoping to take those feelings and put them into my family, faith and workouts…. Can’t even believe that I put workouts there…but when you are a 39 year old mother of three, there is little that is your own….and workouts are for me and by me… sounds selfish…. and I don’t like to be that way….
So, today, I had that amazing blood rush you get to your muscles when you have really worked them hard. Did shoulders and bi/tri and some abs… wow… it felt great and I am already going up in my weights….this makes me VERY happy…. though, I am getting softer…. (UGH). My pants still fit though… so, this is good…. I had a man from the gym walk over to me and tell me that I was intimidating him with the weights I was pushing… said he had to step up his game to keep up with the girls…. made me feel good… 
Tomorrow is chest and abs… will see how that goes….will hope to get 20-30 minutes of cardio out to…my son is feeling ill, so will have to see…. regardless, I will get my early morning done and see how things go with him for the day…. poor little one…. I hate when they are sick…
Okay….one last thing, my 4 year old love to make things…. she is particularly fascinated with using water in things she makes…. tonight she called me into the bathroom where she announced she was having diarehea (sp) anyway, she was and as I stood there rubbing her back, I eyed my water bottle and instinctively grabbed it and began guzzling it…. got about 12 oz in me when I realized I wasn’t drinking water (duh), I began to spit out the water, instantly became ill and threw up…. (in the tub), apparently she decided to use my water bottle to mix her special shampoo…. yup…I drank soap water….. YUM!!!!! I am still burping lavender…… Ahhhhhh, the joys of parenthood!!

This has me cracking up, right now. My 3 year old has had explosive diarrhea this weekend and she yells, "I have jellyfish in my butt!" She was trying to say her butt was stinging (b/c that’s what the jellyfish on Spongebob Squarepants do). Kids are hilarious.

LMAO,
I get those days with my boys as well. I try to stop and walk out of the bath room to get the camera, take a picture of their creation, put the camera down, and then commence to lecture the dos and don’t which goes over their head b/c I’m still trying not to laugh.
:-)
Enjoy them while you can.
