It's the weekend!

And I'm ready for it! It has been so busy and so long this week!! I found myself in bed by 8:45 both Wed and Thurs night I was so tired.

Mike and his brother Tim are headed home right now from picking him up in Peoria! He will be here both tonite and tomorrow. It's going to be so great to spend time with him!

This past week, we had something going on almost everyday! 

I hosted playgroup in the park Monday at our local park. So fun and always great getting together with the girls! I trained that night with Joe, where I was not doing legs till I was out of my 5 day rest period. So arms, yay. Tee hee hee! Arms are good, but they don't make me sweat ;-) But I do cardio everyday now, addictively it's all a bonus at this point. I also finished "Keeping Faith" by Jodi Picoult and it was so incredible! Highly recommend it.

Tuesday morning the three of us took it easy for the most part. But come the afternoon, pick Caden up from school to rush to the Gilbert Rd Firestation to have a tour. I took the older three while Mike stayed with Aislinn. It was so fun and we got some pretty and I mean pretty firemen to look at ;-) The children all really enjoyed it and got a lot out of it for sure. After that, rush back home to eat dinner to go to football practice in the park. Then after practice I had to run out to train again with Joe. More arms, yay.

Wednesday morning I woke up very early for Joe at 6 am! We took a walk and did a jungle gym course ;-) That was totally fun. My agility has been so surprising the past couple of months, so I love the challenge and see what my body can do again! Plus he gave me the go to start running a day early. I have been itching to run! Rush home to get ready for Teagan to go to dance. Julie stayed with Aislinn and I dropped R to school and T and I went to Basha's after dance. Teagan had a hard time at dance for some reason. She wouldn't go in for the first time ever and I had to go in with her. I sat on the floor and she sat with me. Finally after 10 mins she got up and started to dance. It was about 5 mins after that I could leave and go watch her from the t.v. setup. That evening we had an overdue make up playdate in the park with Caden's friend's John and Dominic from school AND from football. It was such a great time! Barb, Heather (who are sister in laws, so cute!), and I never had a dull moment and talked the entire time. They were so helpful near the end with the three youngers with swinging and holding Aislinn's attention and holding her ;-) I can't wait to get together with them soon and we are planning a girls night out soon! Way over due for that too, since Heather and I have known each other since Spring!

Thursday we took it easy again and then Mike came home early so I could take Caden to swim class and on a date. He has a new teacher who is fabulous! She really got in there with him and pushed him just far enough. We did have tears, but he impressed himself so much! He was proud of himself! She had him doing the backstroke! That is what freaked him out, but she let him sit out of the pool to gather himself and then get back in again to do it again, and he did it this time without tears!! So awesome!  I was going to try and make book club with my MOPS friends, but we didn't get home until 6:45 and I was no where near ready to leave again and we were meeting at Chandler Mall. I had told them I couldn't make it and was hoping to surprise them. By the time I would have gotten ready and left it would have been 8 before I got there. I would have missed the book discussion, they are so prompt like that ;-) I also could have gone to Red White and Brew to meet up with my girls for a bite to eat. But I really was so pooped at that point, and went to bed early!

Today we again have taken it easy. I did my cardio on the elliptical while Aisie took a nap and Teagan played with her babies.  Tonite we have Caden's 80's themed party at school, should be a lot of fun! Uncle Tim hopefully will have fun as well! I am due to work for 30 mins at a game or craft at 6 pm.  They have gotten a lot of HS students to help with a lot but need an adult to oversee it and created 30 min time slots. Ingenious! 

Tomorrow is flag football and I have training at 7 am. Also the middles have swim class at 11. Then who knows what the rest of the day will hold. Mike leaves Sunday for LAS VEGAS. What Ever. ;-) So I think tonite I will meet Michelle out with her friends at a local sports bar, before I become single mom for a moment!
