Staying Healthy with Sick Kids

My poor boys have been sick for close to a week now and of course it's in the beginning of my Bikini Body Mommy Challenge and I've actually been doing really well with staying healthy. This is exactly what has thrown me off in the past and then I seem to never start again. This time I'm going to stay healthy through sickness! This is how...

I'm still going to the gym in the early morning. Even though I'm up half the night with the boys and sleeping on an uncomfortable mattress in the boys room I'm making it a priority to still hit the gym. When I get back I go back to sleep in mom sleep mode where I'm half awake so I can keep track of the boys once their awake but still get a little more rest. Since they are sick they are watching movies anyway.

Still trying to eat healthy. Since I'm not taking my boys to the store when they are coughing so much. I'm stuck eating what's in the house. We don't have much that sounds good which means I'm not eating a lot. I have been to the store to get some fresh fruits and veggies but it's just a quick trip in the short time my hubby is home and awake. He's working loooooong hours.

Getting plenty of fluids and On Guard. I'm trying to avoid getting sick myself which is probably a slim chance but with exercise, fluids, and On Guard I'm hoping that it stays away.

Last I'm getting plenty of cuddles with my boys. I know that soon they will be big and even though they will still want me to care for them when they are older they will not want to sit and cuddle with mommy so I'm enjoying this sickness coming through my house and letting my boys snuggle up and watch movies and listen to stories!

Any tips for how you stay healthy when your family is sick?
How you don't get off track with your workout routine during a family sickness?

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!** I couldn't help it! WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005) On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends hair salon . After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready. Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking. My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in. This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny! It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park. THE CEREMONY! After all that hard work to make it so I ...

Monkey's Surgery

So I finally downloaded pictures and I thought I'd share the cute pictures of my little boy after his surgery he had in April. No one should have surgery at 3 years old but poor little Monkey had to have his gallbladder removed due to his blood disorder called spherecytosis. I had to stay in bed with him afterwards. He didn't want me to go anywhere. However, being pregnant made it so I had to use the bathroom quite often so luckily he was OK with Aunt Tiffany or Grandma holding his hand while I went. He hadn't been aloud to eat for almost 48 hours. He was starving! He ate almost the whole plate of pancakes and the nurses were shocked he could eat so much. They kept encouraging us to get him up and out of the room later in the afternoon after the surgery. So we headed out in the wagon first. He wasn't to happy about being moved and we made him walk a little bit in the room but he was glad to be out. Granny and Great Po...
