Tired is not the word for it...

I am tired. Tired may not even be the word for how I feel tonight. I've worked three 12 hour shifts the past three days, and I'm worn out. 7:30pm could not come soon enough tonight, for more than one reason. One, I couldn't wait to get home, and two-my baby boy is sick with the stomach virus. My husband called me today and told me he had thrown up twice, and it made me want to immediately leave work and come home and get into "mommy mode". I know that "daddy" knows how to take care of our baby boy, but I feel like things are so much better when "mommy" is around. My poor baby boy wasn't as active tonight and let me hold him...believe me--he must feel bad because he's letting me hold him and he is sitting still! Please keep my little man in your prayers, I hope he feels better soon!

Excuse me, do you carry a computer around in your back pocket?
I decided it would be such a great idea on Tuesday evening to put on my work out clothes, get Lukas ready and tote on out to the gym. I belong to Urban Active, yes, just me. I can't get Matt to join because he says he is not "wasting" his money on a gym membership, blah! So...solo I went to work out and let Lukas stay in the Kids Club there. I made it to the front desk after finding a parking spot (that took forever)! I was on a mission to do spinning, as bad as it hurt my tale the previous weekend with Jessie, I was going to do it! It started at 6pm, and I arrived at 5:25. I get to the front desk, all smiles, ready to do it and the guy at the front desk (who ended up being rude to me), stated "that class is full, you will have to wait until 7!" WOW, I can't keep my baby there for 2 1/2 hours, what was he thinking?

I asked for a list of the classes that were actually available, he says to me "they are on urbanactive.com, you can find them there". I then proceed to tell him I was standing in the building and didn't have a computer "handy", so could he help me out? He gives me a list and helps the next member. I walk into Kids Club and didn't have a clue what to do? (This was our first time there). The lady at the front desk there helped me out SO much!!! I showed her this list of "classes" this man had given me, all is said was 5:45pm "jenny". Well that didn't help me? It could be aqua aerobics for all I knew!!! Some how she had a list with every class listed (what I wanted?)--so she directed me to where the class was (Urban Yoga), it happened to be earlier than the original spinning I was going to go to.

I walk into the "fitness room" and have no clue what to do! I see a room full of 50 people sitting on mats without any shoes on. I actually had to ask the lady beside of me if I needed to take my shoes off. She said yes. I thought, "I'm not prepared, I didn't paint my toenails, they are chipped!" Then I remembered it's a dark room and who cares anyway? So, I spent 60 minutes in this so called "yoga" class (at the time I thought I wasn't getting any kind of a work out because there was no sweat involved), for all I knew it was a bunch of weird positions called odd things (downward dog, and some things I can't pronounce). The next morning I was sore in every muscle in my legs, and my abdomen! How did that happen? Needless to say, I think I ended up getting a good workout and can't wait to go back!!

Always, Kari
