Ouch

My head and back have been hurting so much lately. Thank God for Excedrin. That's what I get for giving up soda, right? My body just needs that caffeine I guess. But it's all part of an over all getting healthy and fit plan and I am sticking to it. I've done it before and I know I can do it again. More to come later...

Fun in Warren, OH.

Today is yet another Snow day. We went from zero to 4 1/2 inches over night and are expecting to double that by the end of the day. So instead of going to a new indoor play area with a friend and my two younger boys on my day off, I am struggling to find something to entertain my boys again! The play area is out of the question today because an extra kid drives the price up even more and it's a 40 minute drive that could be dangerous on a day that we are expecting so much snow..
So what is there to do now? I have worked all week and I wanted to get out of the house with my BFF and my kids for a little fun. In the summer we have lots of things we can outside. there are parks and playgrounds all over the place. We could probably go to a different one every week in the summer and not run out. There are also beaches and activities and baseball games. Lots of free and inexpensive things to do. Today, I'm coming up with Mcdonalds/burger king play area, or Chuck e. cheese. ugh. We need more for families to do in the winter around here. It's March 11th and it's a snow day for goodness sakes! It's winter here most of the year. =(

Y-M-C-A

Today, we found out that we got a family scholarship to the local YMCA. We are so excited because we will be able to work out and swim, and the kids will be able to take swim lessons for free! I have been wanting a vacation so bad and we haven't been able to plan anything because of scheduling. The idea of getting to swim whenever we want almost feels like a mini vacation. We are planning on going Saturday to fill out the rest of the paperwork. Looks like mama is going to be shaving her legs more often. =)

Things are looking up.

Things have been so crazy lately with me working 4 days a week. I know it may not sound like a lot, but going from stay at home mom to being gone 4 days a week all day is a bit of an adjustment. To top it off, I had things to do for my MOPS group and MOPS on my day off. Next week I go back down to three days, which seems so much more manageable to me. Plus one of my favorite co-workers is returning from maternity leave. It should be a good week.

Spring is almost here and I am looking forward to all of the good things that it will bring. More daylight, better weather, and time outside!! My boys have cabin fever so bad. I am hoping to spend most of our summer outside playing and working in the yard.

So today, I am feeling happy. Lets just hope it stays that way.
