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. |
