Great first day of Spring Break

Today was a great day. Other than the fact that I woke up at 5 am AGAIN. I don't know what's going on. I keep waking up at 3, 4 or 5 in the morning. I am NOT a morning person. Never have been. Don't want to be. But here I am waking up at these ungodly hours of the morning. I didn't expect to sleep in on spring break. Alexander is in school so he needs to be there by 8am. Cassie is in school Tues and Thurs. Plus I have appointments scheduled, etc. But 5am is ridiculous.

Spent the day going to the chiropractor, then lounged around the house with Franklin until we had to do our taxes. Getting a smaller refund than last year, and owe the state since they raised their taxes to recover their debt. Whatever. We are still ahead, although I will have to teach summer school to make it through the summer now.

We took Alexander to a sports massage person who poked, prodded, massaged, pulled and rubbed his injuries. He was in a ton of pain but walked out of there feeling better than he walked in. Progress.

The highlight of my day was going to the gym for Body Combat. After sitting on my butt so much yesterday, I had the intense desire to MOVE around. And this time, Alexander decided he wanted to come!! He could do the treadmill and the bikes while I was in my class. I had this really HAPPY feeling, so strange, that he was coming with me. Not so much because we don't do much with just the two of us anymore, because of soccer and the fact that he's a cool teenager that doesn't spend time with Mommy, but the fact that I consider myself not an athlete, not yet, but physically active, and this was a chance to show him what I do at the gym. He could walk on the treadmill while I was in my class and he could see what I do.

Well, talk about being distracted. After my class started, I looked up to check on him about 15 minutes in, and he was not on the treadmill. I spent the next 45 minutes of class looking for him whenever we were in between sets, or getting a sip of water. Couldn't find him anywhere! Where in the world could he have gone? He wasn't on the bike, the treadmill.

When class ended, I was talking to Yesenia and Kristen, waiting for him. I ended up having to walk around the entire gym looking for him, then I went outside. After another round around the gym, I find him talking to Willi,the instructor. He said he was there the whole time! Yeah right. Later I find out he was in the bathroom looking at his abs. He had spent a little time on the treadmill, the bike for 5 minutes, the elliptical for 5 minutes, then did abs and pull ups the rest of the time. Have to get that 6 pack. Oh boy. He wants me to add him on to my gym membership. He said he would commit to coming at least twice a week with me. It was just strange how happy I was to come and go with him! I guess something to help us bond, crazy that it's exercise!

Now I'm feeling kinda blah and am ready for bed. Can't wait for my favorite 2 classes tomorrow night. Hope this blah feeling is just because I am tired.
