It’s all up to me

I think today is our 6th snow day for the year.  We would have had one yesterday but it was an inservice so the kids weren’t in school.  I truly wish we were in school today because we will be going until probably June 8th or 9th but at this point I really don’t care.  When spring comes and we’re actually expected to teach 5 days a week we’re not going to know what hit us.  Oh well, enjoy the day today and worry about tomorrow in June.

We were already scheduled for a 2 hour delay last night so I got up at my regular time to workout before school because after school we have 2 appts. scheduled.  I added 14 pounds to my weighted vest while I was doing my FIRM Dvd and apparently 14 pounds is the number where my butt gets kicked.  My legs were fine with that weight but for some reason it made it harder to do the work with my arms which makes absolutely no sense.  The vest is around my chest (duh, where else would a vest be???) but I had to downsize from 12 pound to 10 pound weights about 2/3 of the way through the workout.  I might drop to 12 pounds in my vest the next time I do that DVD to see if that’s a better fit for me.  But for once I did feel my butt screaming when I was doing dips and lunges which hasn’t happened in a while.

So since today is a snow day I’m going to get a 1000 things done.  I already prepped my SIL last night that if there was a snow day that I was still bringing the kids down.  A guy at school thinks it’s weird that I take my kids to the sitter when we don’t have school, he actually asked me why I had kids if I didn’t want to hang out with them.  I felt guilty for about 2 seconds and then realized that taking them to the sitter allows me to accomplish in 3 hours what it would take me an entire day to do by myself.  Plus, I’m just a person who needs time by myself.  And, he’s a man.  Don’t get me wrong, he’s a great dad, but his wife is an even better mother.  He doesn’t have many of the responsiblities that I have, he just gets to play with his kids.  And, with my younger son being sick when he’s home he needs 100% of my attention.  I know for my mental health that I need to take the breaks when I can get them.

Got to go, baby needs a bottle.
