Monday

I finished this round of nine weeks and next week is PR/Rest Week! Woohoo! I am finally done with pressing the 10kg bells (a few to go on Wednesday though)/ Moving on to the 12kg bells in two weeks! Here is my workout today:

140 snatches - 12kg bell
60 presses - two 10kg bells
45 squats - two 10kg bells
75 swings - two 10kg bells

I didn't get in my push presses or double jerks today, I was exhausted. I should have done my presses on Sunday.

I went to the Y early and ran/walked 2.25 miles on the track before class. That's probably why I was so tired during kettlebell class! I went pretty fast during my running segments, I can honestly say I missed it. Meeting my friend before class on Wednesday to run again. Her ankle has healed and her schedule calmed down.

An hour of karate after kettlebells, I cleaned my kitchen floor when I got home, did homework with this kids, dinner, and another hour of kids karate. This week will be busy too as I am volunteering at school 3 days this week on top of my normal chaos! Karate tournament on Saturday, celebrate birthdays of my oldest 2 with my parents afterwards, karate stripe/belt test on Sunday. When can I take my nap????

Back with a Vengeance

Stomach flu.

I have been up since 1:30 this morning with my son. He has been throwing up about every 10 minutes since. It finally seems to be calming down a bit, thank goodness! Poor guy is completely miserable, I don't think he has ever been this sick before. And he is missing his Valentine's Day party at school. Shaun dropped off his Valentine cards at school and his teacher will send them home with my oldest. At least he can have something to look forward to this afternoon. Hopefully his tummy will calm down by then.

I am completely exhausted. Since I got up with him, I am now contaminated and have full responsibility. (Just wait until the next one gets sick, it's all on Shaun!) I have cleaned the carpet 4 times, cleaned a mattress, cleaned the couch, done full 2 loads of laundry, given at least 3 baths, and cleaned the bathroom countless times in the last 9 hours. Not fun since I have only had about 2 hours of sleep since yesterday morning. I just hope I don't catch this next!

On a brighter note, our sick family member should be released from the hospital. I was supposed to go and help out, but I can't now. So Shaun is going instead.

Well, I better get back to watching the 1980s version of Transformers with my sick little boy!

What a week!!!

This week started out with my youngest getting the stomach flu. That night, she stubbed her toe. The next day, my cold decided to make its appearance. And that night, the bruising on Emily's toe got bad pretty fast so we took a trip to the ER where we learned that her toe was actually broken! They taped it up and mentioned that she needed a special shoe to walk in for a few weeks but they didn't have one to fit her tiny little feet.

So yesterday morning, I spent a good hour on the phone calling local medical supply stores and doctors trying to find one of these shoes. No one had it and doctors wanted to actually see her in order to give her one. I finally found someone to see her that same day. Then I wanted to take a nap, that was exhausting.

I brought a copy of one of her xrays from the ER with me to the doctor and he didn't think it was actually broken, rather just severely bruised. So he took a couple of his own and decided her toe IS broken, just not in the same spot the ER doctor thought. He taped it up with different tape and gave her a new shoe.No gym class for three weeks, keep the shoe on for that long as well, then another trip to the doctor to see how she's doing.

Now it's Friday. I still have my cold, but I am hoping for an uneventful weekend!
