Still going to gym

We are still going to the gym…at least three times a week. I have been charting my workouts so that I know how much weight I’m lifting and how far I walk. I will not bore you with all the numbers but the good news is that I have already been able to add more weights on some machines. We went to the gym today and Little Monkey was the only kid in childcare (Apparently no moms come on Thursday mornings because he has always been the only one in there!). The childcare lady helped him make me a Mother’s Day card. Actually she really did most of it but she said she held his hand to write out all the letters. It was a nice gesture. And he was very proud of the card, reminding me about it when we got in the car.

On a side note, (most people reading probably don’t want to read this part…so maybe you should just stop…..don’t say I didn’t warn you.) I weigh myself each day that I work out and record it in my booklet. The other day it showed that I had lost 1.5 pounds. (See I told you that you wouldn’t want to read it!) Anyhow, I am not trying to lose weight and imagine that once I get to the muscle building part of this process, I will actually gain weight. So no worries there.

UnEmployed

As of last Thursday, I am unemployed. I have to say that I feel much better and less stressed now that the extra kids are not around. While it would have been nice for them to stay a little longer to help pay for our vacations…I’m not going to complain. My sanity is thankful that they are gone.

Now I’m not actively seeking employment at this time, but if something were to come up that would work with Big Monkey’s odd schedule, I might be interested. So let me know if you come up with anything! We just don’t want to put Little Monkey into daycare of any kind.
