I had a fantastic weekend. I went to a birthday party girl's night out (after 9 PM) on Friday. On Saturday I got certified to teach Turbo Kick (formerly known as Turbo Jam) and bought a house. On Sunday I had a spiritual epiphany that I thought meant that I wasn't doing such a bad job as a mother and as a person. Then last night someone pointed out my flaws -- that I already know I have, by the way -- and deflated me. Like I think maybe I should just hire a nanny to raise my kids and get a job where I don't have to deal with being nice. Because apparently I'm bad at both of those things.
So I'm just sad right now. And I'll probably delete this post later when I'm embarrassed that I wrote it. If I had motivation to stop feeling sorry for myself I should probably practice my Turbo Kick skills. Have you ever tried it?
I'm in the blue shirt. And yes, the girl in pink is 7 months pregnant and did the 9 hour certification. My kind of girl! |

Here's my workout plan for this week. My half marathon is on Saturday. I must have planned it a week off because I am on week 11 and should be on week 12, so maybe I'll combine the two. Oopsies.

Ugh. Don't you just hate that. As soon as you start feeling good about something, someone knocks you down. It's hard but you just can't dwell on it. You are an amazing mom!
