No running today.  Rest, foam roller, and stretching.  Went to bed super early last night.  By the time Aaron got home from work at 7:30 p.m. I was almost done tucking the kids in because I was ready to be finished being the Mom for the day.  I had given Abe a haircut which is usually not that difficult but for some reason he was FLIPPING OUT the whole time.  He does the same thing when I clip his nails.  Like hair and nails have feelings or something. I think he was just tired from running 20 minutes yesterday afternoon for his school fundraiser.  After the haircut he took a bath and decided it would be fun to throw water all over the floor.  When I went in to get him out of the bath I found 1/2 inch of water all over the floor.  Then he melted down when I told him to clean it up and he spend a long time in his room.  After that I asked the kids to go play downstairs while I made dinner and when I went to get them for dinner they had opened a box of cereal from the food storage room and spilled it all over the carpet in the basement.  I asked them what happeded and Abe said "Daniel tempted me to do it."  Nice try, buddy.  Asking them to clean it up just gave me three little blank looks.  So I resolved to just vacuum it later.  We ate dinner and I brushed their teeth, read them a book and put them to bed.  Aaron cleaned up most of the mess after he got home because I was trying to relax in my room.  He also gave me a back massage and I went to bed around 9:00 p.m.  All I had to do this morning was vacuum the cereal in the basement.  Gotta love kid messes.  My kids are usually pretty good at cleaning up their messes but I just didn't have the patience to enforce the cleaning up yesterday.  Today we've agreed to keep messes to a minimum because I have to do laundry and get packed for our trip.
