*Sigh* There is nothing like a delicious cup of coffee and a quiet house early in the morning until my little monster wakes from sleeping.

 So, this weekend was somewhat calm and relaxed until I had the bright idea to load my children in the car and venture to the craft store for some crafting supplies for my new sewing hobby.  Huge mistake.  Trying to keep a toddler in the shopping cart, quiet and happy is a challenge. Needless to say, Ava was running around the store picking up and touching just about anything that was at her eye level stating "I need this".  No, my sweet girl, you don't need styrofoam cones and circles or 3 boxes of play dough.  It was somewhat relieving to me that a fellow shopper, a woman with 3 girls, was having the same issue except her children were a bit older than Ava.  So I thought silently to myself, "great, it doesn't get easier taking kids to the store especially when soon enough I will have 2 that will be mobile, running around telling me they need random, miscellaneous item." Fantastic, can't wait for that.

Today marks my new work out regimen.  I am starting the Couch to 5K excerise program.  Seeing how I haven't really done much over the last year and half due to ACL surgery and pregnancy, I think I will be proactive and start icing my body down now.  Too bad I don't have any tequila on hand, a shot of that after working out will heal my body and soul.  This is obviously a joke, the shot thing not the working out thing.  I feel that if I post this and make it public knowledge, a friend or stranger out in cyber world will be my motivation and perhaps my conscious to keep me focused. I am determined and dedicated to fitting into my jeans again without the aid of Spanx smoothing me out.
