Taking a Deep Breath

Sometimes you just have to sit back and take a breath. Realize that you can't do everything and that you are surely not invincible. I haven't been feeling all that well the last several days. Just a light achy feeling all over and some coughing now. But you know how it is when you are a mom. There are no breaks. You don't get to be sick. So, we went on with life. Parties, school events, Splash, soccer, hanging out and eventually it caught up with me. I had such great plans for exercise, but since I was already doing so much my energy had already been spent. I never went to the gym and can not even fathom running today like I planned. So, finally this morning I decided to stay home to rest. Thankfully my hubby and kids aren't sick. So, he took them to church and are currently at a birthday party. I really wanted to be there too. But my body is telling me to go lay back down on the couch that has become my resting place. I am going to conserve my energy so I can be fully well by my 1/2 marathon on Friday. Ya, it's this Friday already. I was going to do it on the weekend, but it's crazy busy. I also won't be weighing in officially tomorrow either. I can never trust a sickness weigh in. Whether it's extra weight due to mucus build up and muscle tension or weight loss due to lack of eating and dehydration. Either way, I'm not counting it. I will see ya back next Monday on that one.

I am so thankful for my husband right now. He told me to rest and that he has a mission to do laundry when he gets home. AND that he doesn't want me doing any while they are gone. aww
