Mummy's unplanned evening

Well, yesterday did not go as planned. When I picked Emerson up from daycare, the teacher told me he had some discharge from his ear that ran out. Hmm. Okay? So, I didn’t want to take my chances. We hopped in the car and headed to the doctor instead of the salon to get Em a haircut. $20 was spent some way. Just not the way I had planned. Anyway, we had to wait for a while when we got up there, but the doc took a look and saw absolutely nothing wrong with his ears. Gah. It isn’t a quick drive either. It takes about 35 minutes to get up there and then another 35 minutes back. Traffic was a bit of a nightmare too. We were both starving by the time we got home too. I brought some snacks, but Em dumped them all over the waiting room floor. Nice, huh? I can only imagine the nasty germs floating around that place, so I wouldn’t even entertain the 5 second rule.

When we got home, I fed Em a quick dinner, we played a bit, then Em took a bath and went to bed. I had to prep my food, so I handled that task, then just had a protein shake for dinner. I dressed it up though with some peanut butter and banana. It was pretty delicious. I call it my chunky monkey Shakeology. Anyway, I just relaxed on the couch after that. I worked out with my mom earlier in the day. Yes, you read that correctly. I worked out WITH my mom, so I didn’t have to do that last night. She just started her 21 day fix program yesterday. She is rocking it and I cannot wait to see her results. I know this will just give her a new meaning and energy to her life. It excites me to see where this will lead her. She is so young. She’s only 51! It’ll be nice to get her up and out of the house too. All she does is work and play on her laptop. It makes me sad. She is taking the program seriously though. I think once she gets through the first week and sees good results, she will definitely stick to it. I can’t wait to see her confidence grow as her belly shrinks! In addition to my mom, my sister is now doing the program, which I think is awesome! I couldn’t be more happy for both of them. The three of us are going to be unstoppable! Look out!

I just did a 3 mile run with a co-worker during our lunch break. I didn’t know if I’d be able to make it through the end, but I did! It was amazing! Today was my cardio day, so I decided to skip my dvd and do a run. It’s nice to change things up a bit, but it’s back to the grind tomorrow! I also just purchased two copies of the 21 day fix recipe book that was just released to coaches today! One copy will be for myself and the other copy is a free giveaway to the people that I’m coaching. I’m doing a friend referral contest that ends next week. The winner gets the book FREE before it’s released to the public on August 6th! It feels good to be able to do something nice for the people that I’m coaching. Everyone wants to get their hands on a copy of that book. All of the coaches have eagerly been waiting for it to come out. I know I can’t wait to get mine in the mail.

We had the grass cut last night. Of course, the lawn company did not take the payment. This pisses me off. I wrote them a check almost a month ago that they have yet to cash. When they were there two weeks ago, they made note that I still owed them that payment. I let them know that I had already sent a check. It still has not been cashed, which means they either didn’t get it, or misplaced it. I made sure that I paid double this time and in cash. I figured if they found the check, then I’d be covered for the next cut. I sent them a message letting them know where the payment was. No response, but I wasn’t worried about it. We got home from the doctors last night and the yard was cut. Of course, they didn’t take payment! I am not writing another check. I sent them a message stating that they did not take the money. No response. I mean, wtf? I know I can call and they’ll debit my checking account, but I am really not comfortable doing that. I guess I’m going to have to call and talk to the guy about this. I really hate that he didn’t get paid yet for the last cut and now this one. I actually just called and no one answered. I left a message.  I don’t like owing people money. I want them to just come get it, so I don’t have to worry about it.

Alright, that’s about all I have right now. I hope you all have a great Tuesday J
