cocktail party selections in coral

It's 20:29 and I've just come down stairs after holding the littlest cubs hand while she tries to go to sleep!!! Its appears that merely telling your child to 'go to sleep' doesn't work anymore. The eldest cub is still up, as in his own words:

'Ahhh mum it's the summer holidays, there's no way I'm going to bed early' Well that's me told then, cheeky little so and so!

And all I can think of, is 'when can I do my workout'? I had planned on cracking a quick session first thing ... this morning while they were happily playing in the living room, but alas I got distracted and failed to listen to that little voice that was saying 'Do It Now' and soon 7:00 became 12:00. So I have vowed all day to do it when the cubs are in bed.

My day has been pretty uneventful as we decided to stay at home due to a long and tiring day yesterday. But as many of you mums out there will know, staying in is sometimes a lot more hassle than going out! I have cleaned my kitchen approximately 7 times today and cooked 3 times and made snacks in between. I think the summer sun is acting as some kind of miracle grow, as honestly these cubs have hollow legs. cocktail party selections in coral

I've broken up a couple of arguments (and ignored a few more), intervened between some dodgy team gymnastics stunts and made a feeble attempt at packing for our week away. There's been no adult t.v. until now, instead I've listened to the background noise of CBBC and have sat down twice.

I could quite easily throw in the towel, put my feet up and scoff my face with ice-cream (I've already had one bowl and a fab) BUT, that would make me feel like utter SHIT! So because I've kept in mind all day to find 30 minutes to get my sweat on I will get my ass in my gym and do it!

Just have to get the eldest cub to bed, who has quite merrily just made himself a bloody sandwich and switched on the Para Athletics! Honestly child, stop freak'n eating and get your ass to bed!

It's never too late to workout, just get yourself to bed asap after, before you get rudely awaken by some smelly foot in your face (and I'm not talking of the adult male variety)!

Until tomorrow folks x
