Well, thank GOD this weekend os over. It was fun, but incredibly stressful and somewhat emotionally draining. My older son’s dad and step mom stayed the weekend with us after being in town for a conference. My younger kids swarm to him because they sense their brother getting extra attention and it ends up getting them all in trouble. ARGH. And, the ex’s wife is still a little insecure I think because he says rude things every once in a while, things like when he left he told my hubby to stay strong, meaning I was wretched. Of course we all know that I am not, and we all know that he knows that, too, so I assume that he’s doing it for her benefit. I act like it doesn’t bother me, but really it does. What a jerk face! Anyhow, we spent WAY too much money this weekend! We went to the zoo, Knott’s Berry Farms, and the beach, all of which were a blast! All in all, I think I did pretty well, though I did not stick to my resolutions much, so I’m gonna have to look at them and potentially start a few of them over! Eek! I packed our lunch all three days, so breakfast and lunch were always good, and I made chicken noodle soup one night, so that was good, but there was some pizza involved, as well as some In N Out ;-)

Exercise on the other hand, I am rockin! Aside from the obvious of zoos and amusement parks (which here are NOT flat! OMG. And add a stroller…), I made it to the gym and went on a GREAT, LONG, UPHILL run! Well, it was downhill then up, and more of a mountain than a hill. It’s a mile down then I turn around and go back up. I made it all the way down and most of the way up (walked about .2 miles then when it leveled off I ran again). It literally was impossible to run up the steepest part with the stroller! I barely could walk. I see people doing it, so I know I will get there eventually, I’m just not sure how. It’s effin steep! Today I am laying low til this evening. I am sore from yesterday’s run.

I hope I get to catch up on some blogs later today. I’m missin me some YOU!

Happy Monday Chickies!
