Weekend Wrap Up!

Now that it is warm out, I am LOVING the weekends! It also helps that this is the first weekend in awhile that I didn't feel crappy! I got a lot of grown up stuff done, yet had a lot of fun, too! Here is what we were up to...

My day started off super early because I had a chiro appointment before work. I did a 4 mile walk and sincerely enjoyed every second of it. Halfway through my walk (around 6am) I chilled with Paul on our front stoop while he waited for our friends to pick him up. He was going with them to Cape May, NJ and wouldn't be back until late that night. I was looking forward to having a day where I didn't need to be on call for him in the case that he had a seizure. It is my pleasure to take care of him, but sometimes I mentally exhaust myself with worry. Today, I didn't have to do that because he would be with people all day!

Work was WONDERFUL because I took my 4th grade chorus and show choir to the high school to participate in Share the Music Day. This is a day that every music ensemble in our district performs for each other. At the end, we all do one piece together. I was so impressed with our high school indoor percussion ensemble, and I loved seeing my old students all grown up. It's really strange when you see your former elementary students as 16, 17, and 18 year olds! I mean, am I that old?

After work I had a shit ton (yes, that's an actual amount) of errands to run. Bank, post office, Aldi, Wal Mart... Then I mowed the lawn, even though it was extremely hot outside. (85 degrees today. Just last week I wore gloves on a morning walk!)

Fun Fact: I wrote the above paragraph of my blog before I actually did everything. I thought writing out all that stuff I had to do would motivate me to do it.

I got 4 pairs of running shorts for $7.96 each! 

They actually fit correctly and have a drawstring.

Danceskin brand.

I was missing Paul a lot, but it was fun to eat pizza alone on a Friday night and do girl stuff!

Chrissy missed his daddy so much that he started opening kitchen cabinets.

Then he went on strike and just laid by the sink until he got home.

Jelly found solace on my laptop. It keeps his butt warm.

Saturdays in our world = disc golf/running date! Or a run/walk date, like it was today!

I wear a visor now.

Couch stretching on the tree after my walk/run.

I felt great during my workout. My hip was a little tight later on- tighter then it was beforehand, but only when I did the little teacup pose where I stick my hip out. I'm definitely not cured, but luckily I have two chiro appointents next week!

That afternoon, we went to a street fair in Palmyra with friends. It was smaller than anticipated, so we spent most of our time together playing games at their place.

When I got home, I had what I call an "Adult Lunchable".

Jelly was curious about the cheese. He LOVES cheese.

Sunday began with a couple of episodes of Jeopardy with Paul and Jelly.

Then my momma came over. I made her a Mother's Day brunch, and she showed me how and where to plant the veggies in my garden. (She brought all the plants too. Ya can't beat that!) This is my second year for the garden, so I knew a little more about what I wanted. This year, I did 4 tomatoes, 4 peppers, basil, parsley, cilantro, and rosemary.

Due to hanging out with my mom, I got a late start on my workout. It was SUPER hot out. I walked a total of 3 miles. During the walk, I did 10 sets of 10 push ups (yes, I got right down on the sidewalk) and 5 sets of 5 pull ups at a nearby jungle gym. No, I don't care what people think of me. When I got home, I also did a short upper body workout including row, chest press, shoulder press, and bicep curls. 

Then I did all kinds of house stuff... including switching all of my winter stuff with summer stuff. My closet is finally summer-ized! 

My reindeer pants have been replaced with rainbow shorts!

Chrissy is in heaven because we turned the A/C on. He loves laying by his cool fan.

If you had all the hair he has, you'd be happy for the A/C too!

 

How did you celebrate Mother's Day?
Have you put your garden in yet?
Can your fur babies open cabinets?
