Productive & Proud

Well, my day started out as any other day does...pretty good. And then Jackson lost his money for his lunch account and we could not find it in my car. I am sure it fell out at Chayton's daycare because Jackson put it under his leg in the car. But, oh well. We got past that. Then, Monday's are clinic days in the morning at work and that was ok. And then i got the phone call- Chayton had 100.5 fever and his breathing sounded raspy. GREAT!! So JJ goes and picks him up and i call Dr Scott and get an appointment for him at 2:40. We had lunch brought in by a drug rep today at work from SALSA...yes, one of my favorite mexican places to eat. They have to-die-for chips, salsa, cheese dip, and i could go on and on. But i am VERY proud to say that i did not eat the chips or cheese dip and i just made a salad with the lettuce, chicken, tomatoes, salsa and a little cheese. HUGE step for me and it actually felt really good to show myself that i could do it and have that much willpower. I ended up leaving at 2:30 to meet JJ at the doctor with Chayton so i could see what was going on. I stayed there with baby boy and JJ and Jackson left and went home. It was a pretty simple visit...no fever, no antibiotics, breathing treatment while we were there and then that was it. Just have to give him breathing treatments at home if needed.
And then came the workout! It was the BEST one that i have had yet as far as time and distance. There is one small segment of my run that i just have not been able to finish. Today, i did it and i was so proud of myself. I even got a high-five from JJ for that accomplishment. Dinner was cooked and cleaned up all before 6:30. Can i get off work early every day?? That would be a negative. Here are my stats...

Catch Up Sunday!

Sundays are usually a day of catch up for us if we do not have any of Jackson's sports scheduled! I would like to think that they are LAZY Sundays, but that- they are not. Every girl can dream though right?! My day started off by going to the grocery store. Today i went alone because i wanted to get in and out. One of these days i am going to get really serious about the couponing but that hasn't clicked for me just yet. But i am not giving up on it. After i got back from the store and got everything put up, we went for our run/walk. This time the whole family went. Jackson didn't really want to go...but he did. It was a little chilly with the wind whipping but it was tolerable. I was afraid that Chayton would get cold but he managed to not freeze. At the beginning, i didn't think that i was going to be able to run any because my legs were pretty sore but i guess i walked the soreness out of them during the 1st half. I was able to run the 2nd half with only stopping once and walking a very short distance. I still feel pretty good about it because i didn't think i was going to be able to run at all! After that, JJ and i cleaned out my car. He was going to wash it but with the rain coming, he decided to wait. Now...to clean the house or put if off until next weekend?? And i also have to get our food prepared for the next week. I really don't want to but it makes the week of cooking dinner a little bit easier!

Here are my stats...
