April Fool

Unfortunately I don't have any fun or entertaining story about any kind of practical joke, but I suppose the day isn't over yet. I am out of the running in the basketball pool - Tennessee lost. Oh well - I guess I have to decide who I want to root for now. Samantha and Valerie have colds (again) - this time Valerie seems a little worse off. I kept Samantha home yesterday and she seemed okay. I sent her today and took the other two to the Y. Yes - we finally joined and I attended my first exercise class in 6 years. It is called BOSU Body. It is sort of like a step class, but instead of a step, imagine an exercise ball cut in half and you use that. Takes a lot of balance. Needless to say I did a lot of the routine on the floor. I did a lot on the ball, but decided I didn't want to hurt myself. My legs are tired for sure. But I'm very excited to be back exercising again. Anyhow - took my coughing and sneezing daughter to the child care (yes, I was one of those moms, dropping off her sick kid). Didn't realize how bad she was until after we got home. I may be keeping her home from school tomorrow since she doesn't know how to cover her mouth when she coughs. The timing for all of this is not good - especially since I'm wanting to work out now. No fun spring break plans for us - unless I decide to send Samantha to my parents or pack them all up and head there myself with the girls. Give Todd a week at home alone. I'll decide next week. One month until my 5k - I've been out running twice. This is why I signed up for the 5k and not the mini. I can wing 3 miles, not 13. Hopefully next time I'll have some sort of funny story about the girls and not more news on their colds.
