I'm drinking coffee and when my mother & sister get up we'll head back over to the hospital.
Why can't I ever sleep when I don't have kids with me? Wtf?

Morning! I managed to get myself out of bed early and did 30 minutes on the elliptical, so I'm tired. Isn't exercise supposed to give you energy? How come waking at at 4:50 to exercise just makes me feel more tired? And this is why I never stick to workouts before I have to go to work! How is your dad this morning tgrimes? |

mwhip I haven't heard any updates this morning. When we left him last night he was still in a lot of pain. They were supposed to try and get him to stand over night and a physical therapist should be coming by today to get him to walk.

Morning!
The cavalry (DH) arrives today! So excited to have another set of hands around here (and, you know, to see my H and all that 😉)
He gets in around 5 so I'm going to make lasagna and brownies for dinner. Also, I need to clean. A lot.

I'm here. I am also tired. Got up at 5 to run and wanted to crawl back in bed after. It's super muggy out today so it wasn't pleasant.
C is totally fine. He hasn't even pooped since his accident yesterday and his pee looks normal. Off to school he went. I sent cookies in for the teachers as a thank you for dealing with the pooplosion. It sounded pretty nasty.
Just another day of work here. I have an office in each building I work out of and today I will be running back and forth a number of times.

tgrimes what happened with your dad? I missed it. He has spinal stenosis. He has a hard time walking, shuffles his feet & falls a lot. The dr shaved off some bone from a few vertebrae to widen the spinal canal. That's supposed to relieve pressure from the nerves and hopefully get rid of the pain/weakness in his legs. |

Morning. My parents told me yesterday that my mom might have a leaking heart valve. They discovered it because she needing a 'fit to fly' letter for her leg and apparently they then test everything in Norway. She has an appointment with a cardiologist in two weeks, so they didn't see a need to rush things, but I'm still worried. I'm trying to keep up around here, but with packing to move to my parents house, the reno, my moms health and the fact that I'm already exhausted, I'm a little overwelmed and don't want to be a Debby downer all the time. I a few days we have moved and 'normal' life will start to pick up again, I think I'll feel better then. Hope I didn't miss anything big these last days.

tgrimes, I hope your dad has a good day! @nam, I'm sure that's scary for you. I hope these two weeks go quickly. wedding and mwhip, I can't seem to rouse myself before 630 in the summer. I stay up too late at night. I think once the school year rolls around and then Im back on a normal schedule, I might be able to do something, albeit in the house, but something is better than nothing.

Yes guster, that was my thought, something is better than nothing. I'm used to running outside recently, so the elliptical kicked my butt this morning. But I still did 30 minutes, and thought about quitting every 10 seconds! Hopefully H will be back tonight and I can get outside in the morning. If I could get up at 6:30 and still get a workout in before work, I wouldn't be so tired, but considering I leave my house by 6:45, that isn't possible. |

Or is this just a follow up from last week? It's just a follow up. He's doing fine. They wanted to check this week and again in a month when his antibiotics are finished. Dude is getting smart though. He knows that after he eats I give him his meds, so he eats and then books it for a hiding place. It is making me late for work every single day. I'll be glad when he's done with them. |

Hi everyone. Day hasn't started out good bc DnD totally f*cked up my latte and I am extremely bitter about it. I didnt realize it until I was at the office, so too late to do anything about it. I hope things are OK with your mom nam2013. And happy healing to your dad tgrimes! |

Charlie wakes up anytime between 645 and 745, so when I go back to my 515 wake up I hope to find a half an hour to do some kind of aerobic activity. I think I might go back to the seven minute workout on my phone and do 4 or 5 of those to start. That way if I don't finish all of them, I can aim to find seven minutes throughout the day. |

Hi! J is teacher of the day and we brought in donuts and he was so excited. I got Ns teachers some too since one of her teachers saw us walking there, so didn't want to come in empty handed!
I'm a touch paranoid I burned my eyeballs. I did glance at the sun around 1:30 by accident before I realized it had started. Or I stare at a screen all day and have been up 4 times a night every night for a few weeks..I'm the worst.

I've found it takes my body a couple weeks of being consistent with the switch in exercise routine to go from being exhausted to having an increase in energy! Making sure you get in your protein and eliminating (or decreasing) sugar should help too  |

What is this eliminating sugar you speak of? I like sugar! :-) Clearly from the 2 brownies I had for desert last night. |

Hiii. I just about walked into the door at the office this morning because I was the first one here and it was locked. That never happens. lol. Now I'm sitting here with Mom guilt because 1- N forgot to bring a "friend" to daycare. (she brings a stuffed animal/beanie boo everyday) and she wanted me to go back and get one, and I didn't. 2- I told her I would wave to her when I drove by and I completely forgot. So now I'm debating running home and getting her friend and taking it to her. I'm sure she's completely over it but I feel bad.
