It’s all up to me

The day has had a bumpy start but I know it’s going to end on a happier note.  Sunday is my day to sleep in but two times (while it was still dark) my older son woke me up by breathing on my face.  I’m sure every parent has experienced this but I sensed something and when I opened my eyes all I saw was his face.  Both times he agreed to go back to bed.  Later, I woke up to sounds bumping against my wall.  He had gotten in trouble and my hubby put him in his room, so he was sitting on his bed and kicking his feet against his bed.  This caused the bed to hit the wall and then I’m awake.  Grrrr.

We agreed that while I was working out that he would clean the basement since his buddy is coming over today and I actually hurled the exercise ball across the room b/c I got so frustrated.  There have been lots of tears on everyone’s part this morning.  Anyway, the house is finally clean, the baby has had a bath and now all I need to do is take a shower and get ready for Santa.  I’m so excited, I know it will all be worth it when we see the looks on their faces when Santa stops by.

For the week to come I plan to be perfect.  If I allow myself any wiggle room this week before Christmas the results could be disasterous.  The next Sunday our parade of Christmas parties begins and I’ll just do damage control.

Progress toward workout goal:  127/250
