For My Reader!

So I am checking in here because a certain person asked what happened...you know who you are. ;) My only reader.

Brandon was fine. The black eye didn't even last very long. The worst part is that he broke his glasses and they are backordered so he is still wearing contacts. This is a problem because he is s o s l o w in the morning and it adds to his morning routine. Plus, although last year he hated glasses so I had to pay $120 every three months for contacts, this year he decided he hates contacts so now he complains every morning because contacts suck. ::sigh:: He's such a pain in the butt!

The only other thing going on is that I have started trying to get in shape. Since the beginning of the school year I have gained 10 pounds. Now I know some people would say "big deal" to this. However, my pants are all too tight and I don't feel like buying all new clothes! Plus, I have never had an issue with weight in my life so I am hating this! I joined a place that has yoga, pilates and spinning, I figure I can handle those things! The last organized exercise I did was kickboxing and I think I would feel way too old to be there. I felt way too old last time and that was 6 years ago. I get ideas in my head that I will just do stuff at home but I won't. If I even motivate myself to do it, as soon as it starts to get difficult I say "ok, I'm done". Yeah, lame, I know.

If I go to a class, I won't leave because I would be way too embarrassed. Plus, I will go because I am paying for it so I can't justify not going. So far I have been to five yoga classes and two spinning classes. The spinning classes are so hard for me right now. I am tired after ten minutes. It's pathetic! But...I won't leave so I just struggle through. The first time the instructor said the goal was to just keep pedaling the whole time. So I did that. Today I kept pedaling and I actually stood a few times, increased my resistance on "hills" more and did some of the jumps. But it about killed me. I was pretty sure I was going to throw up! Hopefully next time I can do a little more. And although I hate getting up early, I think the Saturday 8am class may be the best option for me. Trying to do that after being on my feet all day may be more than I can take right now!

Yoga on Wednesday.

Waiting Around...

So I came home today to Brandon with a busted up face because he crashed his bike into a tree. Of course he wasn't wearing his helmet. Why would he be, we've only told him a million times we expect him to wear it every time. He only wears it when he is at the skate park because there is adult supervision there and they have to. Rob took him to the emergency room. I want to make sure he doesn't have a concussion. When you hit your face so hard you have a black eye, that's not a good sign. He is also complaining about his wrist hurting so I want to make sure that's not broken. Spindly little things!

So, they have been there for a little over two hours. Since Rob is no longer answering my texts I assume that means he is being seen or getting x-rays or something. Hopefully they will be home soon. I just want to go to bed!

I think I am over the BMX riding.
