Hi Annette & Geoff,

Today I did Cathe's latest live PHA. I really enjoyed it. It was the right amount of time 41 minutes. I added on 7 single segments of Afterburn.

I hope you and your husband are doing all right.

Re: work - that's great you were a stay at home mom all these years. I was a stay at home mom for about 8 or 9 years (working part-time midday for half that time). Both my DH and I have 2 jobs each. Life wasn't always this busy with work. It was filled with young kids stuff. We enjoy our day jobs but our businesses are our passion (he's an accountant and I'm a therapist). I cannot sustain this much longer and neither can my DH.

Have a great day and enjoy your workout! Last week of teaching for you - happy/sad?

Hi Siobhan,

Thanks for the thoughts, hubby said that the 2nd time around(2nd memorial for same brother who passed away last June) wasn't any easier. I thought it was easier. We had a nice turn out from the east coast relatives and friends.

As for work what is kind of interesting is that during college and before kids and little bit during our leaner times I worked as a Psych Technician( in psych hospitals), direct care worker(in a pysch. group home) and briefly a TSS (therapeutic support staff), honestly I burn out at about 2 - 2.5 years and have to take a break. Of course I have also worked as a substitute teacher, and a GED teacher and a volunteer fitness instructor.

Honestly, I am ok with stepping down, it was great for almost 6 years. Yes, I will miss my ladies, but I am not leaving the gym so I will still be around.

Today I did a hodge podge of videos on YouTube. I did a 27 minute Cardio Box , then I did 20 minutes of a taebo workout and the 16 minutes of a NML Kickbox Circuit ( that was too tough for me to finish). So I am finished now.

Nice workout for you.

On a side note my mom was a junior accountant and worked her hardest during tax season.

You and your husband really do work a lot. Hopefully soon you guys can step down from 1 job and still have benefits and your style of living.

See you tomorrow.
