Its the start of summer and that always comes with odd schedule changes for the kids. This year its meant random schedule juggling for me. I’ve spent this entire week shuttling kids back and forth, running errands, and signing kids up for stuff to keep them busy, then finding friends willing to help shuttle them back and forth from more stuff.
The best news of the entire week is: the DH got a JOB! A real job with a real schedule and an actual paycheck, too! As always, even a minor change can wreck havoc and this was no exception. He landed the job the day AFTER I signed the kids up for random summer activities that we expected him to be available to take them to.
We tried hiring a friend to come stay at the house to watch the boys for the summer but that lasted about 2 days. Her schedule just isnt definite enough to be able to depend on for the entire summer and the boys really needed to get out of the house and DO more. We finally decided on the daycare at a local church. Today is their first day and I know they are looking forward to it. I am too honestly. I can drop them off an hour early in the mornings and have time to start running again, and I dont have to pick them up until 6pm so I have time to run errands and get things done after work so I dont have to always cut into my workout time.
At the start of this week I was 3 pounds down from my return to working out. Im fairly certain Ive gained them all back this week. The food plan fell apart because I never had time to cook all week, and its been so hot in the gym I havent felt like eating even when I did have food prepped. Hopefully next week we will all be back to a usual schedule and I can get back to a routine. Im also hoping that once the finances straighten themselves out I can restock my supplement supply.
