Happy Turkey Day!!!
So I bet you only came back to check on one thing.... Does Ice Man get to go to the Badger Game on Saturday.... drum roll.... Go Badgers Go... Yes, he does. The kids will go to a friends house for a play date, then come home and be with me for a couple of hours and then a sitter will come and take them back to her house to provide dinner and run them silly. I will then just need to put them to bed once they return.
Steve and his college buddies do this once a year and usually they crash at our place afterwards, but this year I told Steve I think it's best if they just get a hotel downtown versus crawling back to our place in the early a.m. Then I don't have to deal with that man stink in the morning : ) Frankly, I knew I'd let him go I just needed him to feel a little guilty for not getting things aligned for the kids. Yet, who am I fooling he knew I'd let him go. Even yesterday afternoon I said "so have you got a hold of a sitter yet" and he said "No, but I'm working on it" and I said "Really, and how are you doing that... do you even have their numbers" and he just laughed and said "No, but I'd figure something out". He cracks me up because he is SOOOOO laid back and to his credit things always do work out for him.
Yay! a friend just called and she's coming to visit me. She wants to get out for a walk and asked if she could come visit. Love her!!!
Okay next bit of good news. I got down with Mr. P90X today for some Chest, Back, and Ab Ribber X. I felt strong and good. I did my best and forgot about the rest : ) (one of his mottos). It felt good to exercise, yet I will also admit that this past week felt nice not having to worry about getting in the exercise. This might sound sort of pathetic, but usually my last thought of the day is "what am I going to do for exercise tomorrow and what time do I need to get up" and then in the a.m. when my alarm goes off at 4:45 am or 5:15 I tell myself "Just get up and exercise and be done with it".
I'm 40 years old and can honestly say besides last week I don't know if I've ever let more than 2 days go by without exercise. It's just part of my lifestyle, yet I hate how moody I can get when I can't get it in. Yet, last week I was totally at peace which just felt so odd to me. Part of it I think is I am the type of person that normally my mind is always going and my to do list is running through my brain 24/7. Last week I truly did surrender and let things be. If the kitchen was a mess - so be it. As the laundry piled up - so be it. I think you get the picture. Okay, sorry that was a whole lot of rambling about nothing, but I think my point is I need to continue to relax and let some shit go. And if your about to have this surgery I encourage you to do the same. Just lay down, ICE, ICE, ICE and Elevate your foot (follow the R.I.C.E for healing) and all will be fine. If you feel pain take your meds.
Oh and I also got down with Mr. Steve last night and no foot was hurt (smiling). I know you've all been wondering how that subject ever turned out for me. I think he was willing to do anything to make sure he could go to the game : ) I hope you get my sense of humor.
On the pain front - The last two nights I did not take any Ibuprofen before bed and all was fine. Yesterday a.m. I took my tablets out of habit, but then didn't take any more until this a.m. This a.m. I only took 2 tablets because I had a head ache and I think that had to do with the fact I treated myself to two beers last night. So I truly do believe the Ibuprofen will be headed back to the cabinet today and will be staying there unless I over do it in the weeks to come. Which I'm sure will happen.
I realized today that it's been one full week since I left the house. Keep in mind I am sort of always house bound because I work from home full time for my job, but at least I tend to get out at least once a day. So that was a strange thought too.
If you happen to be a bike racer (criterium racer). I thought I'd share this fun website with you that Steve works on when he has the chance. http://criteriumcoaching.com/ Biking is his true passion. He is a man of many traits, but you will see his passion is bike racing.
I'm thinking one of my goals for today should be figuring out how to shave these lovely legs of mine. Let's just say the last time I shaved was LAST Tuesday. Things are not looking pretty, yet here too I just don't care : )
Turkey day for me I think is going to be enjoying a quiet afternoon. The kids right now are fighting out by the t.v. They are trying to get some netflix show going and I keep hearing "it's not going on". Steve is in the basement biking on his trainer and my dog is barking. Steve will take the kids to his parents house at 2:00. I think it's best I stay home. Okay, kids are now out on the trampoline and why is it that my 6 year old is in shorts. Oh yeah, today he came down and said "mom, I have to wear shorts today because I have no clean pants". The kid would live in shorts year round if I let him. Earlier this month I told him I will be putting his shorts away if he keeps thinking he can go to school dressed in shorts and a t-shirt in November. We live in Wisconsin might I add.
I'm trying to think what else I should share, but I think that about does it. Oh, I did work a couple of hours in my bed yesterday. I still have to work on my arrangements. How I'm currently sitting I know is not good for my back. That will all come together too. I just have to figure out the right set up between my phone, laptop, etc..
Thanks for reading my message. I am thankful for you. And just want to add I think everyone is wonderful.
Have a super day and lovely long weekend ahead.
Julie
