The mundane of Mondays

Okay I realize that I have been lacks posting recently. Can you loyal follows forgive a sister? I have been a little busy.

I have now been a loyal gym goer for two weeks and can I tell you a secret? I LOVE IT!! I am taking two different classes and they really are fun. Who'd have thunk ... exercise and fun all rolled into one activity. My kids seem to like the Kids Club well enough. My little one seems to be a bit concerned that I will forget her and only allows me to be absent from her sight-line for ~45 minutes each visit. After my alloted time is up one of the dear workers comes and gets me saying "she's not crying, she is just whimpering and looks sad" and then tells me that this has been going on since I dropped her off. Wow Audra, way to make Mom feel like pond scum for being the cause of your sadness and whimpering. I suppose one day I will long for my kids to feel that way in my absence, but in the midst of me burning 497 calories per hour, not so much. Alas I smile, because I know that I am loved.

I walked in an Alzheimer's Memorial walk this Saturday morning. Our group of ladies (plus Audra), walked three miles thru downtown Fredericksburg. It was a beautiful day, the fellowship was wonderful and the cause was more than worthy. Glad to say I was a part of it. After the walk, (meaning lots of calories burned) my darling husband had a Dunkin Donuts apple fritter waiting for me (meaning lots of calories taken in). I guess since I did the walk, inhaling the apple fritter at the end wasn't nearly as damaging to that Jillian Michaels figure I am after, than if I hadn't walked.

Sunday was busy as well. Since I am on the singing rotation at church, I had to be at church to go over my special. After leaving 15 minutes later than we were supposed to, discovering that my make-up was not in the car and my hair sporting the "wind-blown" look ... I realized that the Lord is in control, and it is okay to be put out of my eliminate. Lunch at Olive Garden was fantastic, bought a new headboard and foot board for super cheap, then ran home to turn around and go back to Stafford for Tavia's first day of drama rehearsal.

Tavia started 2:49 which is a drama program out of Mt Arrarat Baptist Church with Frick and Frack Music. I can not say enough about how wonderful this program is. Tavia absolutely loves the fellowship and the directors.

Home at 9:15 last night and exhausted.

I am so glad that today all I have to do is laundry.

Bring on the mundane.
