Woke up with my skin itching but no matter how much I scratched, it wouldn't stop. It was mainly all over my abdomen. I woke up but just laid in bed itching and wishing it wasn't morning yet. My mom's call got me out of bed.
I walked my 20 minutes then did about 15 minutes of leg work like lunges, hip abductions, plea's and such.
God the kids up and ready for the day. We ate breakfast and then practiced riding our bikes up to the school and back. When we returned home I came back to the office to check the computer for some stuff. I suddenly got hit with a wave of exhaustion. I was instantly tired and couldn't keep my eyes open. I went and laid down in bed and immediately fell to sleep. I slept until 11:00 AM! Upon waking I immediately felt guilty not spending that time with the kids. The only thing that pulled me into positive thinkg was realizing that God really was showing me how well he is taking care of my family. While I was sleeping He filled Aaris with love, imagination, patience, selflessness, servanthood, and compassion. She, because of God, was able to take care of Skylyn and Titus (without ever turning on the t.v. I must add).
I ate with the kids. I didn't even finish my food - put a few brussell sprouts (seriously yummy) back in the leftover container. That felt victorious.
Showed the kids my printed out pictures of how I wanted my hair cut. I then bathed and got ready to go. Halfway to the salon (about 20 minutes from home) I realized that I forgot all of the printouts of the hairstyles I liked on the table. I got sick feeling. On top of that, when we got to the salon my hairdresser said she was only expecting me. What!?!?! I had told her I wanted Aaris and Titus' haircut as well. She did Aaris' hair then she did my color. Finally, she cut and cut and cut my hair. I was expecting a lot more length left, especailly on the top, front and side of my hair. I HATED what she had done!!!!!! I cried for about 20 minutes. Here is the IRONIC and WEIRD ending to this whole experience => As I was paying for this horrible haircut and feeling so ugly and embarrassed THE song "Pretty Pretty Please" by Pink started playing on the salon radio! CRAZY, right!
Aaris was a doll. Her precious soul tried so hard over and over again to cheer me up.
I got home and played some with my hair to make it look better in my eyes.
This evening I took Titus to gymnastics at 5:30 along with everyone else since Aaron is out of town on business. We got there only to find out that his class was at 6:30. So I went to Aaris dance studio and signed her up for dance classes. We then rushed to McDonalds to feed the kids before we headed back to the gym. We pulled it off and got to the gymnastics gym at 6:30 and waited 10 minutes for Titus' coach to come out. When he did we found out that they had once again told me the wrong thing. Aaris was supposed to be having class tonight. URGGG! She wasn't dressed or ready for class, but out she needed to go.
At first she did what she did 2 years ago (when we took her out of class). She played around and didn't pay attention. Then, after a quick talking to from me during a water break she changed. I could see her trying to improve each and every time she did an exercise. I was so proud of her.
Tonight was hard knowing tomorrow I need to watch the baby while his parents search for a replacement for me. I ate more rice cakes then I should have (a whole bag) but stopped after that. I know I was just procrastinating on all of the clean up work I needed to do in order to have my house ready for a baby. I stayed up late getting all of the work done.
