it worked!

ok, so I had to put on our Beauty & The Beast dvd, but I got to exercise on our elliptical in the basement this morning for 30 whole minutes! woohoo! then I dragged them upstairs with me while I showered.

mommy confession du jour: i was a little lazy and feeling sorry for myself about the coming weekend. so I loaded the girls up and took them to Winstead's, where we went to the drive-through for grilled cheese sammies and french fries...I ate like a pig. But I worked out this morning, so I figure I broke even. Or at least this is the lie I'm telling myself.

disappointed

my dad and kory were supposed to arrive in KC tomorrow and stay through Tuesday morning, but have canceled their trip due to a variety of reasons. i'm very disappointed. they haven't seen the girls since January, and haven't been to KC since early last December. i understand the reasons, i guess, but i was looking forward to doing fun stuff this weekend and having some company. now it's going to be an ordinary weekend alone while Dan's working/on call. hopefully it won't be too bad, but you just never know.

i am going to attempt to work out on our elliptical in the basement in a bit. going to let the girls play down there (and will resort to turning on a dvd for them if i have to) while i work out and see how it goes. maybe then at least some of the time i won't have to wake up so early to go running.

it is supposed to be sizzling hot here the next few days. we had a ton of rain yesterday, which we desperately needed. now the heat's going to set back in.

Ugh!
