Balancing act.

My little sweetie snuggled up in bed with me last night and I couldn't say no. He is the worst.sleeper.ever. He punches, kicks, yells, throws his legs on top of you, gets sideways...you get the idea. About 2 o'clock he woke up crying and holding his head. He said "I have a bad headache and my ear hurts". He's been really congested lately, his sinuses are FULL of gross stuff. After a few trips to the kitchen for medicine, apple juice, ice for his head he starts begging for a trip to the doctor. He demanded a shot to make it better. Poor thing. 4 am and I'm so exhausted. I cancel boot camp and we take a hot shower. Poor thing. He finally passes out at 4:45 and I follow about 5.

It's hard to stay consistent with training when you're a parent. I missed all my workouts this weekend due to parent/family duties. When I did have a spare moment I slept! Did I stay on track with my diet? Not so much- but not too bad. I was ready for boot camp this morning and there's always a little bit of "DARN IT" when something like this happens and I miss my workout. Balancing your family and your workouts can be challenging. As soon as I have some sort of 'plan' I try to follow something comes up. Sometimes I get mad, sometimes I throw in the towel and other times I just pitch a fit like a brat. This morning I was sorta mad.

As I held Xavier in the hot shower, he was rubbing my shoulder, snuggling in and he said "And you'll never leave me when I'm sick. God picked you to be my Mom".

I don't think I missed anything this morning. Feelings changes from mad at the situation for mad at myself. What's more important than this?

My husband was nice enough to take Xavier with him to work so I could get my clients in today. Xavier's feeling a lot better thanks to his decongestant every 4 hours. I'm hopeful he'll go to bed early tonight and be back to 100% tomorrow.
I found a good crossfit workout I can do here, after a nap because I am pooped!
