Having one kid would be so easy!

Okay, so I have twins so I try not to dwell on this fact too much, but damn one kid is easy! Today naps were a mess.. I'm not sure what happened.. just one of those days I guess. Lily fell asleep while Jason chatted then woke up before he did... if she ever slept at all... grrr. This happened twice today. We were stuck home again so we tried the two nap thing. I came back from my run and Tom had put the kids to bed b/c they asked to nap. :)

Anyway. Lily woke up and 'helped me' in the kitchen while snacking on dates and having her smoothy. She had taken her jammies off and wasn't really in the mood to put them on so WHATEVER! (FYI It's 6;45pm and Jason just got done chatting to himself and is now screaming for Mommy - his FAVORITE thing to do again.)

It was so fun to spend some time with just Lily she is so much quieter and, uh, well behaved when by herself. She's sweet and will sit and read or doodle or cuddle - when Jason is up it's a different story.

That's all I got today. We had a shitty day... okay I had a shitty day. I'm not sure if I'm battling something or what, but I hit the wall around 2:30pm. Maybe it's the two turkish coffees I've gotten into the habit of having over the last week. I didn't have the second one today b/c I noticed that I was having a really hard time getting up in the a.m. again. I'll be going to bed early tonight and hoping to wake up refreshed and ready for some hard work outs tomorrow and Sunday. Sunday I'm doing a 2.5 hour work out. One of the spinning / cycling instructors is hosting a fundraiser for the Multiple Sclerosis Society. It starts w/ 30 minutes of core work then 2 hours of spinning. Tom got my new carbon tri bike all built up and ready to go so I'll be rolling in w/ my new Schwinn bike to either kick ass or get my ass kicked! Spinning is a lot harder on a trainer than on a spin bike so I'm sure I'll be hurting after the class.... but I'll look all fancy while I get my ass handed to me and that's what matters right? ha :) Hope I can easily figure the trainers out... don't want to look like a tool on my new bike. Gotta make Tom proud.

Here's a photo of my new bike. Pretty sweet huh?

Andy is now the proud owner of the Prologue so we will be team Schwinn out there on the course. Now I just have to get Gena to take advantage of the TNT deal and get a Prologue herself so we can complete the team.

Anyone interested in starting our own tri team... maybe we can get Schwinn sponsorship... though unlikely. ha! My hook up is only so good!

  1. oh yes - I often look with envy upon people who only have one kid - seems just soooooo easy!

    What's a turkish coffee?

    Good luck on your workouts this weekend, and sweet bike!

  2. turkish coffee is when you just put ultra fine grounds in the cup and add water then allow the grounds to settle to the bottom. Our espresso maker is on the fritz... I think I get more caffeine from this than I do from espresso.
