Weigh-in Wednesday and Shredding Day 3

Alternate post title: “Saj and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day”

Let me preface this by saying that there were some definite highlights to today, but they’re being overshadowed by the lowlights. Let’s start with the positive:
* It’s sunny and in the low 50’s-a lovely spring day in southeastern Wisconsin
* My dear, dear friend (who’s been my friend for about 28 years!!!) Sandy came over with her adorable 5 1/2 month old daughter Kelly to hang out for a bit this morning
* I slept until 6:30-a treat for a weekday

Now onto the negatives:
* I slept until 6:30. I intentionally did this, but I’m so used to working out in the morning, it was a struggle to force myself to Shred this afternoon. Also, Andy slept a little later than normal, so my morning schedule was thrown off a little.
* I was up late last night wrestling with egg-shaped Jello Jigglers, and I had to make sure the second batch was ready this morning for Noah’s preschool Easter party. Long story. I don’t really want to get into it, but it includes a messed-up batch because I didn’t read the directions correctly, a silicone pan, and having to slide a knife along the rim of 24 molds to get the damn Jigglers out of the silicone pan.
* I was yelling at the boys at 7:06 (according to Noah-ugh that kid reading!) this morning-they’d been up for about 8 minutes.
* Caden was inconsolable at the playground at Noah’s school this afternoon, having been upset because another kid pushed him off the rock. He cried for about 5 minutes after we got into the car.
* Caden’s bed was covered in dried pee, after leaking out of his pull-up overnight. It would have been okay if it was just the sheets and even the mattress pad, but it made it through to the mattress itself. And I discovered this just as I was ready to tuck him in for his nap.
* I started my Shred workout this afternoon, while the boys are supposed to be in bed, their own beds, and I had a hard time really engaging (not to mention how I’m still sore from the last two days!). And then I hear Noah crying because Caden kicked him in the stomach. Was Noah in Caden’s bed? No, according to Noah. Then Noah says Caden also hit him. Was Noah in Caden’s bed? No, according to Noah. How did Caden reach across the room to kick and hit Noah? Well, says Noah, I was over by Caden helping him find his bus. Seriously??? You don’t need your stupid cars while you’re sleeping, because, you’re sleeping!
* My parents are in Florida, at my beach. The only good thing is that it’s only about 65 degrees there-yes warmer than here but not as warm as it could be!
* And here’s the icing on the cake. The super-duper-uper-schumper crappy thing that happened today: Noah didn’t get into the other school district either. He’s 10th on the waiting list of 13. Not much of a chance to get in there. So now he goes to our resident school district for kindergarten, while I remain neurotic about open enrollment for next year. Or we move. I think moving is a long shot since we’re closing on our refinancing at the end of the week. Can we get out of that and just go buy another house with these low mortgage rates…? Never mind.

Okay, enough of my bitching. Onto the (purportedly) main purpose of this post.

I guess I could include this in the list of positives above.

This week: 123.2
Last week: 124.4
First week: 124.0
Net change: -0.8!

I suppose I’m pretty happy about this. But it’s being overshadowed right now. But, yay me!

I really need to get back out running. I just signed Andy and myself up for the Crazylegs Classic. It’s taking place on Saturday April 25, and it’s an 8k, which is about 5 miles. And we’re running it with two other friends. I’m really excited to do it, but I’m a little nervous about my endurance. I’ll keep you all posted.

I’ll leave you all today with some pictures from today:

The damn Jello eggs!

Some really pretty crocuses in my front yard

Caden fell asleep right in the middle of lunch. You may notice where his hands are… Yes, my 3-year-old likes to “pleasure” himself. Apparently it’s soothing and relaxing for him!
