What a week

The bottom picture is our class.. remind me not to look into the sun and sit next to the hot instructor.. especially after doing Fran as our workout in 100 degree heat! I promise to post pictures of the kids this week!



I was afraid to blog last week, I had lost my patience as a Mom. Embarrassed to admit it, I was in need of a break from my kids. Perfect timing because Zach and I went to Ft. Worth for the Cross fit certification. It was a humbling experience in itself, but at least I did not have whinny children and the word "No" coming out of my mouth every other word. It is so hard to remember the kids are 18 months old and 3... they are testing and pushing the rules and boundaries already! What does this mean in 2, 4, 10 years?! The good news is I had 2 days to regroup.. the bad news is it is Monday and after a weekend of fun with grandparents it is difficult get back on schedule. Today at the grocery store the kids were fighting the entire time.. Emily June would grab Wyatt, pinch him then Wyatt would scream. Over and over to the point where I just looked at them and said, " Keep your hands to yourself and keep your mouths shut. Or I will pinch you both so you will quit doing it to each other" Some lady in line followed me to my car and gave me a booklet than said "How to discipline and raise children." Seriously?! She must be single with a cat that takes care of itself. Then she proceeded to tell me the Jehovah Witnesses will come to my house and give me the entire book not just the insert if I need it. At that point, I wanted to say, " Will they watch my children so I can go to the grocery store alone next time?!"

Regardless of today and last week the kids had a great time with Skeet and Nini and Zach and I realized how much we like Ft.Worth. Whole Foods alone would convince me to move. It has to be the best experience for any mother/wife.. which means I am definitly getting older! Zach and I got our tails kicked in on the Level one certification... We learned a ton and I can hardly get out of bed today. Touching the top of my thighs hurts in itself.... I have never done so many air squats in my life. Yet, it was motivating.. got us both back to the basics and back on track. The Crossfit people are incredible, I just hope I can continue to improve!
