Withdrawal

Sarina has had a bit of a cough and cold this week so she had some down time at home. Really her nose was such a fountain I could not justify taking her out in public. So she got to sit in her recliner (car seat) and watch tv for a couple more days. Oh heavenly bliss. The only thing that marred the experience for her was Mommy running on the treadmill She complained bitterly that it was too loud. Mommy complained because she could not get a good workout. There is something about staring at a wall while running that is rather uninspiring. Now Sarina is better and I've been curbing her tv time. Oh the agony. Where ever we go she begs to go home to watch tv. Today we went to lunch with friends and she whined to go home the whole time. When we finally got home she ran right for the tv. Ummmm...NO!

I've been having a bit of workout withdrawals myself. After one week off with Ben and almost another whole week off with Sarina I'm way out of shape. How easily we lose that momentum. I could barely get up a run today. I'm not good at pushing myself either. I'm all "oh my leg hurts" and "I need to stretch some more!" Got in about 45 minutes of very unsatisfactory workout time today. Hopefully the kids will all be well next week and I can start building back up my stamina. My hope is to start getting up early (like 6am) and runnign before taking Ben to school. We'll see how that goes. This morning Ben fell out of bed at 5am and it took me 45 minutes to go back to sleep just to wake again at 6:30. A more dedicated person would have gotten up and used the time to work out but not me.
