Worst Enemy

What would you do if you saw your husband's worst enemy. This other man didn't know who you were but you knew exactly who he was. Not only that but what if he talked with your baby and even reached out to touch her? I have nothing personally against this man but DH would have FLIPPED if he had been with us. I am trying to decide if I tell Gab's Daddy but I think no. It would only get him riled up. Ahhhh the drama of living in a small town!

I Didn't Die!

That's the good news from my work out yesterday. The bad news is, there was one minute I really struggled. My coach was great though and pushed me through it and I was almost disappointed when the work out was done. It was nice to do something challenging physically.

My "coach" also brought me two race forms and told me to pick which race we'd sign up for the weekend after my birthday. I picked and we're going to send in our money next week and be committed.

Today is a day of rest, although Gab and I will take a walk this afternoon. Tomorrow will be a training day... Let's hope I last!

Operation Hot Mommy

This week begins my quest to become physically fit. I have not exercised consistently over the last 16 months since I found out I was pregnant for Gabs. I did prenatal yoga and all that but not really anything too cardiovascular.

This week changes all that. It's long been a goal of mine to learn how to run. Growing up I always had friends who did track and I just could never see the point of it. After Gabs was born, I had a friend who runs marathons who offered to run with me and train me to run a 5K. It was my goal to run this race before Gab turns 1. I am going one better than that, I am training for a race on the day I turn 30. I've had two work outs this week and today marks my 3rd for the week, my first with my unofficial trainer. I called her earlier to see if we'd still be on since it is 90* and humid and she wouldn't let me waiver. It's good for me, and I will feel good after our workout....

So over the next 10 weeks I will track my progress as I work towards learning how to run. I am so looking forward to getting back not only my prebaby body, but a body that is much better than that one.

On my mark, get set, GO!

Waiting....

Right now I am waiting to hear about a job interview. I had one yesterday, they asked to see the top two candidates again and they said they'd let us know today.... I am currently waiting for my call- either way- and am anxious. Yesterday's interview I did not feel went well. I felt like I didn't portray who I am as a professional and was just too nervous to make a coherent sentence. Obviously they disagreed since I got a second chance today. Today's interview went much better for me. I was less nervous, and thankful for a second chance to show who I am and why I'd be the best candidate but there were a couple of very pointed questions specific to what they had reservations about yesterday and I am sure they still have those reservations today since I was unable to answer the questions directly at that moment, I got there but it was after lots of talking. I do feel like they saw me more professional today and I am just sorry I couldn't do that yesterday and wrap it all up... Oh well. Hopefully my phone rings soon!! .....

Fabulous Fridays!

I know I always said when I had children I'd be done working multiple jobs-especially summer school. However, one day of summer school (which is only a half day 8-12) pays for daycare for the whole week so one week of summer school will pay for one whole month of daycare. How can I possibly give up 5 months of daycare money?!

I did however make sure that I have Fridays with the Gabster! They are FABULOUS by the way. Totally loving having my girl all to myself one day a week. This week was extra exciting, she cut a tooth AND started to say "Dadadada." This Friday we went to the park where Gab tried out a big girl swing for the first time and LOVED It!! Now a walk to the park will be part of our afternoon fun (weather permitting)!
