Happy Leap Year!

Since today is a leap-year day, I was able to get one more workout in this month at the gym. (See stats on left side bar!) It was pretty miserable though as I just ran 4 miles on Wednesday and didn't have much energy to run very fast today. I managed to run 3 miles somehow, but now I'm really exhausted. This is how it's been the past 2 months though.

I feel I owe a big "I'm sorry" to anyone who has come over and seen my lack of house cleaning. I'm really focused on working out 3-4 times a week and plan to continue until I am back to my "normal" self again. Lately I just don't have any extra umph left and so the dishes and laundry have suffered...The way I see it, it's now or never. If I don't get in shape now, I don't know when I will ever find the time. Next year I will have 3 kids in school each with completely different schedules, so my "free" time to work out will be a thing of the past for a while. Who ever coined the term "stay at home mom" had a totally different job than I do!!!

I also wanted to post about Natalie's Spring music program last night. It was just for the first and third grade classes. The kids all sung nursery rhyme themed songs and played instruments. It was cute and everyone did a great job.


Natalie and Sarah were so silly afterwards and spent 10 minutes or so spinning around in their dresses. I somehow managed to get one photo of them when they were semi-still.

Don't bring your white gloves to my house!
My folks are leaving on vacation later this week so they offered to play with our kids for a few hours--too cool! I'm running around like crazy trying to get cooking, cleaning, workout, etc., all done before they get back--the kids that is.
I'm sure there's an ancient proverb or something that says this better, but: Cleaning up after children is like shoveling your driveway before it stops snowing. We're supposed to see the comedy through the mess.
I think Katie (yes?) said it best when you told us about Hayden putting your nail polish on the carpet: One day you'll look back on this and smile remembering how young he was and his talet for "art".
I saw a plaque that read: Cobwebs are angels wings.
And from 'Steel Magnolias': Smile, it increases your face value. ;-)
