Home with SICKIES - At least I RAN

Tonight was supposed to be date night-Grandma was taking the kids - and then my little one woke me up at 3:30 a.m. Coincidentally, this happened to be the time I got up for the day. She puked in her bed so I cleaned her up and put her in mine (on a towel and with a bucket). I cleaned up her sheets, put in a load of laundry and got ready to go to my sister's house for our weekly run... at 7:00.

Aside from a little slipping and sliding when we started, the run was uneventful. Not my best effort, but I think the morning antics put a damper on my motivation. At least I showed up and ran the whole 5 miles. It was good enough for me.

Got home around 9:30 and have been holding up hair and washing out the puke bucket ever since. So much for date night. I would have a hard time leaving my little mamma's girl :). Thankfully (and I don't know what possessed me Friday), I reserved a bike for Sunday's endurance 90 min SPIN class. Since it could be my only justified time out of the house tomorrow I am GOING.

Hubby has been in another dimension lately, so the idea of sharing responsibilities for a sick kid is kind of a non-issue. It's all me. I've been feeling a little out of sorts myself, so diet today is going great. My sister has lost 7,5 pounds and I am freakin jealous! I need to get things moving. TOMORROW I AM ON THE SCALE.

I guess you can tell that I am feeling much better, thank you.
