After a very long, not so much fun week; I had an amazing weekend. What made my weekend so amazing??? My family.
A little background: I quit my job this past May to be a stay at home mom. I was lured by greed and personal recognition to return to work part time with very flexible hours and lots of compensation for my time away from the littles. Being that I have an amazing in-home child care system - 2 days a week was working great. This last month that has been creeping into more than 2 days a week. Last week I worked 4 days!
So... I took Friday to be with the kids! We went to Bouncy Bears, had lunch with a girlfriend, then did laundry at her house all night. My washing machine is BROKEN! It was great fun to play with the kids, chat with a girlfriend and just be away from WORK! Saturday the husband and kids pitched in to start packing the house. We are de-cluttering for the house to be listed for sale! Ugg... selling houses is not my favorite task. Hubby and I finished the night with a movie, Arn.. great foreign flick reminiscent of Braveheart.
Then Sunday the family continued to play and work together to pack the den and get the house ready to host 20 teenagers! We hosted the youth group and several parents. Enchiladas, Spanish Rice, 5 layer dip & chips, and a big bowl of salad. We barely had enough. After a long day of cooking and dishes, DH and I spent a few minutes telling stories and then fell happily asleep. I love busy weekends!
Now I'm back at work. LOL I'm going to limit the days this week. PLUS - I need to mentally start preparing, November will be the month that I run a solid 3.1 miles. I've made it to 2.75 miles. I've got 2 weeks to pull things together. It's mostly mental. Physically, I can do it. I know that I can.
Have a good week! I'll check in tomorrow for weigh-in! I have a feeling that with all the salty bites yesterday that I'll have some weight issues. Nevertheless, I've been running, I've been working, and for the most part I've been eating right.
