This morning Scott and I were arguing. Nothing major, I was just frustrated about something and was probably way more sensitive about it then I needed to be. That however worked out for me when I got to the gym. I had found something on pinterest for interval treadmill workouts. It however was a bit more advanced then I am but I now have a set time and speed goal. I was able to go 2.7-3.5 for 15 minutes. I would go 3.5 for 3 minutes, then 2.7 for 1. I decided to stop and do a few weights because I could feel my muscle that causes me problems in my back tightening and I didn't want pain to creep up and be in trouble, especially since I had to work today. I then went to do some weights. Worked my inner and outer thighs/glutes, and my stomach muscles. I don't think if I wasn't so mad that my workout would have been as successful. I usually lift minimal on weights since my current goal is to loose inches, not build muscle. But I went a little heavy and as I sit here now I sure feel it in my legs.
Tomorrow I wont get to work out because we are going with Jordanns school to the zoo here in Hutchinson then I work from 1-9.
Tomorrow evening Meah has her last elementary school concert. Bittersweet. Thankfully I already did this once, so I shouldn't be so emotional. LOL Switching schools and her going back into elementary from Middle school was a pretty hard thing for her but she seems to have accepted it and is just ready to move forward. I am hoping I can get out of work at 630 so I can make it to the concert. Ill be pretty irritated if I have to miss it.
My friend Melissa that is doing our hair for the wedding is in hair school(again) lol Well she needed to attempt to do "ethnic hair" so she came over and flat ironed Meahs hair tonight. She did an AMAZING job, And she did it in like 2 hours, that's faster then I do it. For it being her first time ever with that kind of hair, I think she's for sure got the skills to do it very well and make a lot of money doing it(not from Meahs hair, but from other peoples lol) So Meah is all excited that her hair is straight for her concert, so a happy child, makes for a happy momma...... And so does getting my hair colored so that I go back to looking like Im not old enough to be her momma. Melly grabbed 2 different hair colors but I must say, it turned out pretty effing amazing. Ill post some pictures tomorrow when I can flat iron it. Back in our dumb days we use to hang out all the time, act stupid, do each others hair, etc. Im so glad to have her back in my life. Thankfully we have both grown the hell up and are responsible adults. Love this chick.....thank Melly.
Today I hit a wall with Quintin that every parent dreads. Its the "I don't know how to help you" wall. He has been giving his teacher and I a run for our money these last months of school. He is very intelligent. Hes almost too smart for his own good. This causes all kinds of issues, but the one we are dealing with right now is that he refuses to ask for help. He sat and refused to turn in a test today for 45 minutes because he couldn't come up with the answer. Now when I looked at the problem I didn't have any idea what the answer is either haha. I finally convinced him to just pick the one he was closest to and move on. This sent him into tears. He is not a quitter and to him that was quitting. He quit by not having everyone of the answers right. He usually has 100%-95% in every subject and on every assignment, so when that doesn't happen, he feels hes failed. What he doesn't realize is that Im proud of him no matter what. I know he did his absolute best. He tried, and that's all I can expect from him. Instead he had to be removed from his class. IDK what its going to take to get him to not be so hard on himself. While we expect A's in our house because everyone of our children are capable of accomplishing that, we don't expect them to know everything. Math is his favorite subject though and hes working on 6th grade stuff, so hes by no means failed by missing 1 4th grade question.
Tonight we have my other 3 babies here. Ciandra, Gabe and Samantha. Gabe had to come home early because his blood sugar was way too high but its ok now. It seems like at least once a week he is sent home. I wish his school was better able to maintain his blood sugar without having to interrupt his school week. I know having this is hard on him sometimes so I just wish they could help make it a little easier. I didn't get to see Ciandra or Sam today because they were already in bed when I got home, but Im sure hoping to get in some time with them tomorrow. I saw Gabe for a few minutes tonight because he was just getting out of the shower from baseball practice when I got home. Him and Quintin are on the same team and Scott is their assistant coach. hehe he swore he wouldn't coach when I tried talking him into it at soccer time. :D
Days like today when my day was full and my brain wants to overthink things at 1130 at night, Im thankful that my cousin suggested this.... although I guess my funny side hasn't shown much on here....im sure its coming.
Before I go I want to share the funny moment with Jordann today that I want to make sure I keep forever. There was a lady leaving her school this morning who looked like a hot mess, clothes way too small with way too much fat hanging out, hair looked like a mess, just in general someone that I wanted to say "um, you just brought your child to school, think you could cover up?" but as Jordann saw this lady she looked up at me with this look like "do you see that?" then looked at the ground with her little smirk on her face and shook her head. Shes proving everyday just how much she is my child. She also proving how much she's growing up because months ago she would have blurted out like any toddler would have about what is she wearing, or why didn't she get dressed etc. awwww my baby hahaha
love and thoughts with yall
