Little did I know...

The weekend went well. Naturally, things had to take a turn in the opposite direction...murphy's law.

Around 10 pm, the kiddo wanted to come to bed with me. No biggie, this is a nightly routine for us, but usually she doesn't do this until 1 am or so. A little before midnight, I hear "Mommy!" and wake up to projectile vomiting in my bed. Oh, the joys of motherhood! My poor baby had a nasty stomach flu. We were up until about 3 am, when she finally seemed to be doing better and could go back to sleep. Ugh, this happened once last year too and it was not fun. (Now that I think about it, I also caught the bug and then the hubby.) At least this year, she can tell us a little more about how she's feeling, what hurts, etc. Needless to say, I did not get out of bed when my alarm clock went off at 4 am. Nope, I slept right through what was supposed to be my workout and mid-term study time. You know what they say...life happens!

Fortunately, by last night she was doing much better. And today, she's almost back to her cute, happy little self. We spent the afternoon having "tea" and "coffee" in her little playhouse in the backyard. After she went to bed, I managed to do 45 minutes of Si6. Hopefully, I will get in a good run tomorrow before I have to hit the books. My Marketing mid-term is Saturday...trust me, I would much rather be joining my fellow Striders at the Bayou City Classic!

Zzzzzzzzz

Ever just feel like you need some sleep? That's how I felt all day yesterday. It was a busy day at work and I felt like I was dragging all day.

After work, I headed to my 1st official Strider meeting! That certainly woke me up! I got to see fellow bloggers Vic and Bill again, and I finally met Pony! I saw Steve B too, but didn't want to yell across the room at him. I met a lot of other great folks and had an awesome time. I am so excited to be a part of such an phenomenal group. As I was driving home, I wondered - if we took the number of miles each person in the room has run in their lifetime and added them up, how many miles would that be? I can't even fathom the number. Anyway, next time I will have to plan a little better. I had to leave the meeting early to pick up the kiddo at my parent's house, so I missed most of the HRM training...and the food! :-)

Last night, I had planned to do 3 miles on the dreadmill. But, after visiting with the parents for a bit, checking out my Dad's new truck (very nice!), then stopping at Wendy's for a grilled chicken sandwich, it was after 9 pm when I finally made it home. I put the kiddo to bed and made lunches. Then, I remembered that I needed to get the kiddo's valentines together! After signing and assembling them, it was almost 11pm! So, the dreadmill was out for the night. And, by then I was really dragging, so I decided that getting up early for a workout was not in the cards either. I slept in a little this morning and feel much more energetic today. Maybe, I can squeeze in some miles tonight after the hubby is at work and the kiddo is asleep.
