Nap Time is for the Birds

    Today is day one of my "Nap Time is for the Birds" policy.  I don't need to curl up like it's winter and I'm Yogi Bear.  This lady is over-napped and I just don't know it.  I read that it is possible to wear yourself out with too much sleep.  I need energy, not sleepies!
    At noon the kids are going down for a nap and I'm putting on some jogging sneaks so I can... walk?  LOL we'll see how long I successfully jog :)  (Gotta ask my sister to hold down the fort just in case somebody starts to stir before I return.  So, step 1: always have a babysitter.)

** To be continued ** Gotta run!

    So getting out of the house immediately was impossible.  I had to first change a poopy diaper that Nate created, as a protest to going to bed, and fill up my camel pack, and then Ishy started to cry for some reason or another.... But I tucked Nate in and said aloud, "I'm going to do this whether I get cooperation or not."
        Step 2 (after step 1: get a babysitter): Address distractions and then go out anyway!!

    Alright, so now that I returned to the house I'm pumped!!!  It wasn't a jog, it was more of a speed walk, lmbo... it was like my muscles said, "who you foolin'?" so I kept a steady pace and speed walked it 1.07miles in 30 mins. so I was moving maybe 2 miles an hour?  Not bad for a first day..
        Step 3: Accept your pace.  Trust me, you'll be glad you did!

        WHAT I WAS FEELING: whoooooo, I walked until my calves were on fire and then I walked some
        more... and I didn't stop until I reached the international food store and continued around like I was on
        the track&field track.
        WHAT I WAS THINKING: "Come on girl!  In the words of J.T. ' I'm bringing sexy back!' Earn your
        rest when you get home!"


LOL well I'm pooped, time to check on the kiddos and tell the girls "you better go to sleep!  Don't you know I can hear you playing in there!?  Last warning!"

oy!
