Last night, the kids when to bed at 9pm and after drinks, potting and various other tasks and questions, were asleep by 10. I thought for sure I would be able to drop them off at preschool (on time, for once) and make it to the 9am exercise class. Boy was I ever wrong!!! I think the harder I want the kids to do something, the more they resist doing it. For some strange reason they did wake-up early, but a bit too early~3 hours too early!!! They crawled in bed with Keith & I at 4am!!! After an hour of trying to get them to go to sleep, pushing feet out of my face and redirecting heads to pillows and off of me, I did what I should have done in the first place and sent them back to their own beds...where they slept soundly until 9:20!!! We are suppose to be at school between 8 & 8:30, but shoot for 9. The harder I tried to get them to hurry and get ready, the slower they went. Not only did I miss the 9am exercise class, but the 10 as well!!! My punishment~ Cycling~the 11:00 class!!! Cycling, for me, is one of the hardest cardio workouts and a class I try to avoid. I had sweat pouring off my forehead and even off my arms!!! I am glad is over~now I will reward myself with a chocolate covered mint oreo!
