I realized something that was quite obvious.
But I'm a little slow so it's taken me a couple of weeks to figure it out.
Twice a week I'm lugging myself out of a warm bed and to a cold studio for yoga before the sun comes up. And lately I've been craving a good hard run routine.
My body's been feeling soggy.
I'm craving the feeling of strength. Of feeling solid.
It occurred to me...
I can use the work out facilities on campus for free with my student i.d.
And I'm already going there a couple of mornings a week anyway...
My struggle is that I'll have to get up even early than I am and that is a hard struggle for me.
I need to talk myself into being okay with mega-early mornings.
I think I can, I think I can.
We celebrated Cali's birthday with her yesterday. I've started doing mommy and me dates with the kids on their birthdays. Just a way to get them some one on one time.
On their birthday I go check them out of school for lunch and take them to where ever they want to go.
Cali wanted Olive Garden but I nixed it because we were already heading to Macaroni Grill for dinner, at her request.
So she chose Noodles & Co.
Because that's so much different.
I think this girl loves pasta.
We made this video on a new app called Vine. I'm kind of in love with that app right now. If you happen to have it, you should find me so I can see what you're doing on there. I'm The Circus.
I watched her order mac and cheese and asked her if she was going to eat that again at dinner.
She looked confused.
"Do you even know what kind of food they serve at Macaroni Grill?"
No.
She saw on the commercial that they got to write on the table with a crayon and she was all over that.
The only reason she picked Macaroni Grill for her birthday dinner was to draw on the table.
And for the record, she ordered ravioli.
She got a free desert of her choice and the waitress sang happy birthday to her in Italian.
As a side note, beware when you sit Granny Suzann next to the kids.
She does a lot of encouraging.
I was introduced to bad lip readings today.
I was probably laughing a little too much at this, but it seriously cracked me up.
For you on a snowy Tuesday:
(at least it's snowy here. If it's not snowy where you are I'm going to come visit next week, yeah?)
(it is Tuesday, right?)
(that reminds me of a time when I thought it was Tuesday but five year old Casidee was adamant that it was Wednesday. Our schedule was different depending on which day it was and suddenly Cas had me so confused. So I called my ex. "What day is it? Tuesday or Wednesday?" He laughed, somewhat unkindly, and answered, "Why don't you just look at the calendar?" "What good is looking at the calendar when I don't know what day it is I'm supposed to be looking at???" Dang five year olds who think they know everything.)
Oh geez, that's funny stuff right there.
