change it up

Today I changed it up. Usually we do a morning activity, lunch out or home, then it is nap for Frass and some tv/rest for Sass and me, when Frass wakes up we play outside a bit, dinner and that is the afternoon. Over and Over and Over. Part of it is my fault b/c I want Frass to nap in her crib at the same time most days, I find kids need a schedule. I find I need a schedule. But today, today I said fuck it, today I threw caution to the wind. 

I forfeited Frass's nap and decided we were heading to the beach for the afternoon. I figured if she feel asleep on the way there so what. Yes, I was living on the edge. I just couldn't take another day of the same afternoon AND it was so darn beautiful out, and we live 10 minutes from the beach, and we paid a billion dollars to join the beach club and.....you get the picture. 

There was NO falling asleep, they were happy to be there. We started with a dip in the pool and then headed to the beach. I was so happy to hear little voices screaming for Sass, my neighbor was there with her 3 girls and it is much better when they have playmates. The girls played together while I got to sit and chat. I love the beach in the afternoon, not too hot, a breeze. We headed up for one last dip in the pool where Sass was playing with her friends. I loved it, this is why I live near the water, this is why I joined the club, to see my kids playing and playing and having fun. I love it. The red eyes, the cold shivering teeth when they get out of the pool. They were exhausted !!! as am I. We weren't home till 6.30....so no boring afternoon for us. 

I ran in the morning on the treadmill, did 3 miles. My left foot hurt A LOT, actually it went up the side of my leg, my calf and shins. I was really limping while running. WTF, tomorrow is a rest day, i plan on doing strength training b/c I have not done any in a while and I realize I need to.
