So, my oldest son Evan was sick Wednesday and Thursday and last night (Thursday into Friday), my baby started fevering! So, I opted to stay home from work today! However, after only a couple of hours home with all three of my children, Evan was jumping off the walls (remember he was sick), Kael was of course fine and high energy and even Jack, after suffering from a fever all night, acted as if nothing was wrong. I decided to attempt running on the treadmill but I was amazed at the amount of interuptions were presented to me during my entire THREE MILE RUN!! Honestly, it took me the amount of time to run 3 miles as I could have run a half marathon in. I would run .25 miles, need to help my baby potty, run another .25 miles and need to turn on a movie, run .3 miles and need to break up a fight, another .25 miles and someone came to my door (yes, my kids so graciously allowed them to come in our house despite the fact that they were complete strangers and I was downstairs. Turned out they were Jehovah Witness Missionaries :). I need to talk to my kids more about stanger danger apparently.....note to self). Got back on the treadmill, ran .5 miles or so and had to get another game out of the closet for Jack. Finally, I finished the 3 miles, with hopes of wanting to go 4-5 and realized, it just wan't happening. I need to run when my kids are sleeping, there is no other time :). Was glad I got at least the measley 3 miles in that I did :) |
