Gonna Suck It Up Today.....

Okay so I had myself a little pity party on my last post...everyone needs one occasionally so I indulged. Everything I spoke was from the heart and was true to my feelings at the time and I don't regret what I wrote but I am moving on and going to suck it up.

Today is going to be busy. Everyone slept in...which is okay but it throws our routine off but that is okay because so far everyone's spirits are higher than yesterday...so we're good.

Riley's 4th birthday is tomorrow and I have to get everything pulled together today for her little party at school. We are doing her official birthday this Saturday in our backyard. We are having a small affair but with the works as far as food and fun. I know it probably seems kind of crazy to have two parties, one at home and one at school but I am doing that because I really don't want to invite her school friends and their parents to my house. Part of it is because her classmates are children of a dentist, a lawyer, a pediatrician, and a huge real estate mogul in Cartersville and I don't think I would be as at ease with them here...I have NOTHING in common with the other moms and I am chalking it up to my touch of social anxiety....and the fact that they aren't very friendly AT ALL. I would probably get caught up in making sure the parents were entertained and neglect the flow of the party....nah....I think I will pass this year. And...with only inviting our family members over I will clean but I won't have to scrub the house from top to bottom and I am all for skipping the scrubbing for now.

Okay so I need to go shopping today for tomorrows tiny party, get groceries and try to squeeze in getting the cake ordered for Saturday, address some very late invitations to our family members, get her gift...which I have no idea what she even wants, think about what other refreshments we are going to have or if we are going to cook out and try to get to the gym today because I probably won't be able to go tomorrow. Can you tell I have put things off an now I am a little bit stressed?! It will all be fine I just have to get it all pulled together.

Well, my two week "get in shape" challenge has been a success. I actually enjoy going to have a hour to an hour and a half to myself each day. The kids still love going to play and I am slowly seeing some results. I refuse to weigh myself but I am feeling more toned, my pants are a little looser, and my long lost hip bones are a little easier to feel. Yay!!!!!! :-) I have no plans of stopping now. Away I go....hopefully I will look and feel a lot better by our trip to St. Mary's in June!!!! Water park here we come!!!!! (We are visiting Jamey's grandmother in June and she lives within a short walking distance of a wonderful water park that is mainly geared toward smaller children. There is a big play area for small children and no matter where they are playing you can see them and they have 3 or 4 lifeguards just for that area. The water is below the knee but still it is a comfort to have so many. Riley loves it and has talked about it often since last summer. Last year I was very shocked and ashamed of how I looked in the pictures from our fun at the water park. I hope to look better this year...that is my goal anyway.)

Okay so that is my day and like I said I am going to be in a better mood even if I have to fake it. Have a good one guys!!!!
