7/1/12

Today was kind of rough, but really fun at the same time.

I was really, REALLY tired this morning. Olivia was up a few times last night...I think extra tired from our late night, and maybe a little too hyped up from her sugar fix. So, I didn't get very good sleep at all. I finally made Christian take her out on the couch to sleep, so I could get a little sleep, and poor Amelia could stop getting woken up. They ended up sleeping in after all of that, until around 8:30! I stayed in bed, resting, while Christian got up with them, and started breakfast.

After breakfast, the girls got their swim suits on, and we headed outside to the pool for a while. I had a little headache, but not too horrible. We hung out and played in the yard, while Christian and his dad were slaving away next door. Our neighbor is moving, and is selling us her water softener (ours is horrible, and has destroyed most of our pots, pans and dishes). It took them a while to get it unhooked and lugged over to the house. I got the girls lunch, put them down for their naps and got my workout in all while they finished up next door.

So, speaking of - I'm officially back into the 30 Day Shred. Day 1 down, and I'm determined to finish it  out this time. No pain, no illness and no excuses! I started back on Level 1 for the first 10 days, and it seriously feels like I started all over again!

While the girls were napping, I got a call from my BFF...they were at a local waterpark, and invited us to join them. Christian wasn't interested, but I agreed to bring the girls out and meet up with them. So, I started packing up and getting ready. We ate a quick dinner when the girls woke up, and we were off. It was still pretty hot, but it had become pretty cloudy, so that actually worked out pretty well. The girls had a BLAST. They both went down one of the water slides, and Olivia went down a bigger, tube slide with me. She was laughing and having the time of her life. We rode down the lazy river a few times and just had a good old time.

After a couple hours, my headache became a full blown migraine, and I was in a lot of pain. Shakes, nauseous, utter pain. Christian had to come out and get the girls out of the car for me. I went straight to the couch, took some pills, and didn't move for a few hours, when I finally drug myself to bed. Worst headache I've had in a LONG time.

By the time I went to bed, Christian had gotten the girl in their jammies, and off to bed. Sad to see another weekend come to an end, but at least we made the most of it!
