Monday: Sick. I woke with soaking clothes from sweating through the night. Definitely bummed, because I planned on another lackadaisical run. Cancelled that. If there’s anything I learned (which ain’t much!), that is don’t run with a fever or sore throat. And I had both.
I was so fortunate that my husband had time to take all the boys to school (all different drop off times). Sure I stumbled to the kitchen to make their lunches, but he did the hard part. I slept pretty much all day. He picked them all up from school. How do single parents do it????
Monday night the entire family attended our oldest son’s orchestra concert. Quite a delight. We returned home late, and I had to work on a science project with middle son (which involved popping popcorn and weighing it against an apple), so I didn’t get the sleep I needed again.
Thankfully, I don’t work Mondays. That would have layed me out!
Tuesday, I woke sick again, but without a fever. I managed to drop the first boy off, then childishly requested (meaning, I didn’t straight out ask, instead, I “guilted” hubby into making the remaining drop offs.) And then . . . AND THEN, I managed to use my unique persuasiveness to get my “better half” to do the pick-ups and watch the younger boys’ OC Marathon training, which meant: I got to sneak in some exercises. 
Two days in a row no runs, but at least I got to sneak in some exercises.
Cannot imagine being a single parent - my wife does most of the homemaking stuff but I pitch in when I can.
ReplyDeleteReal life is what happens between what you plan.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you are living it to its fullest.
Thanks for reading Kovas. I would probably go insane if I had to do it all by myself : )
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Windnsnow. True true about real life happening between what I plan. I don't think I'm living it to the fullest. I do love my runs though. They help keep me sane : )
