Weekend Update

The Activities

Another busy weekend and ailing children as well. It looks like both kids are on their way to recovery. They were both full of energy with no fevers in sight today. Bean seems to have suffered the longest and even at its worst he wasn't too bad. I felt like I was on the run on Saturday - up and off to the gym, picked up a birthday gift on the way home, back in time for Papa to take Schmoo to soccer. She came home exhausted, but had been determined to go despite her "coughs". Bean had another good nap and I snuck out at 3pm to volunteer for a few hours at the local Safeway, asking people to donate to the society that I'm still doing some volunteer work for. Home in time for bedtime and then off again for dinner with a friend. The last of my birthday week activities. It was a nice evening out and I came home to a dark and quiet house. Papa had an evening with hockey on TV and an early night to bed.

Today wasn't quite so hectic. Schmoo had a birthday party around lunchtime, so I dropped her off and snuck in a quick run at the gym before doing the grocery shopping and going back to pick her up. Bean had another home day with Papa. No naps today though. I spent the afternoon making muffins and soup for the week ahead, both recipes from Weight Watchers. Papa managed to sneak out for a walk in the rain with the dog - a good outing for them both. Looks like a quiet night ahead and a busy day tomorrow. Good thing both kids are on the mend!

Thoughts on the Day

Knock on wood, the kids seem to be feeling better. I had heard rumours that this flu bug would last a couple of weeks, so I'm glad to see that they're both feeling better. It's never any fun when someone's feeling sick and it sure puts a damper on planned activities. This week ahead looks pretty busy. Only 10 days until I head off to the Big Smoke so I have to focus on eating right this week.
