Hi everyone. I survived a week from hell, let me tell you. I am sorry I didn't get on here, but today was my first workout since TUESDAY because I have been so shot. Wednesday was a scheduled rest day because we had Baxter's agility class. I was going to skip it, but we got such horrible rain Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and this dog needed to get his energy out, so we went. Anyway, I fell going through the course with him and landed on my right knee. Nothing damaged, except my right now is all bruised up. I don't really feel it until I go to bed and lie down on my side. It hurts! Anyway, the cute thing was, when I fell, Baxter came in between the trainer and I, as if protecting me. He didn't growl at the trainer, but her wouldn't let the trainer near me. It was as if he was saying, "Nothing to see hear, back away" lol. Thursday I was shot and got my TOTM (of course I did). Friday I chaperoned the field trip to the city (museum of nat. history). That was the day after that doctor was quarantined for having Ebola, so I was a little more apprehensive than I usually am taking 148 7th graders to the city by train and subway! I was sooooooo tired when I got home, which was six o'clock. DH was still away, so I still had one more night to play single mom. Well, my boys were arguing and bickering all night, and then I snapped because they spilled pretzels all over my freakin' bed (long story). Finally got everyone to bed, including myself but I couldn't sleep. Then Saturday, DS's friend called to see if he can play. I had his friend here, thinking it would be easier than having to take him out to his friend's house, that's how lazy I was. The boy is so polite and sweet, it really wasn't a bother, but when he left DS wanted to go to the store to buy a new wrestling figure. Is it your birthday? Did I miss something? No. Whining and complaining ensued. Finally DH comes home, but then argues with DS about why he is not buying him a new wrestling figure and I snapped again. I got into a huge fight with DH and I am kind of not talking to him now. He went with the boys to a JETS game. I was supposed to go too, but I refused. I am too freakin' tired, I hate football and I hate him right now, so no, I am not going. Instead, I stayed home. Took Baxter for a long walk. Did STS Total Body and now I am going to take the dog outside to play again and then catch up on my work, which I neglected all week because I was too damn tired! UGH! At least I feel that I am getting a reprieve from the madness today. When I am grading papers, I will put on some jazz music and enjoy not hearing anyone call my name to ask me for something for the hundredth time today!
Belinda- thanks for keeping this thread alive. I would peek in on my phone from time to time, but I would never have time to respond with all this craziness. I need a solitary vacation. I want to go on a silent retreat right now, lol.
Deb- hard doesn't even describe it. I honestly broke down and cried Friday night when I saw all the pretzel crumbs in my comfy bed that I was dreaming about getting into five minutes before it happened. I think I am such a perfectionist that I feel guilty all the time for not doing better. AKA pizza three times this week. I am my own worst critic. I wish I could silence that annoying voice in my head that is always telling me I could do better, be thinner, work harder. It is freakin' annoying.
Cookie- That wedding sounds like fun and much less expensive than a traditional wedding. I am getting excited for the new workouts too. I am going to go back to split workouts in November to get ready

Okay, off to grade papers in quiet with jazz in the background.
