What do you know?! We finally have snow here in the Midwest. We are supposed to get about 5" today. The winds are 20-30, so it's kinda fun to watch the snow go sideways. At least it's fun, when you're in the comfort of a warm home. I was excited to meet with my trainer this afternoon, but she canceled this morning after seeing what the weather was supposed to do. The club is a good 35 mins. from here, so I guess it's best just to miss the club today. I didn't want to use that as an excuse for not working out, so I actually tried out the Zumba 2 game for the Wii today. Holy shit! This Native has absolutely zero rhythm! Thank God there was nobody here to see (except Junior, and even he looked disgusted). I just tried to keep my body moving, even if I wasn't doing exactly what they were doing. It worked. I got one hell of a workout! I really do hate exercising, so it's nice to do something that's different from the norm. After Zumba, I took Junior out for 1/2 mile walk. Man alive, did he have a blast in the snow! The wind was brutal for me, though, but I'm glad I got him out. I doubt he'll get off our bed the rest of the day, though. That had to have taken a ton out of him.
About 4:30 I hit a wall. A big wall. I don't know if it's because of the root canal yesterday, or what. It's sore, but I haven't taken any pain meds for it. Maybe it's the antibiotics for it, that get me so tired. Anyway, I slept for nearly 3 hours. Crazy. I had so much energy earlier today. My mouth is feeling a lot better right now, though. I'm drinking a "night time herbal tea" to try and help get me sleepy again. The kids may not have school, due to the weather tomorrow, but either way, they only have 1/2 a day anyway. So, I need to make sure to get some sleep tonight. It's a freaking winter wonderland out there. Totally beautiful.
Hope you're all having a wonderful night.
