Did I hear blizzard? no I mean Spring ?

Really, I'm beginning to wonder who pissed off Mother Nature. Another snow storm. Come on, really! School closed at lunch for the kids and we came home to snow, snow, and more snow. Barely made it up our bleepin street. This is the first year that I can remember saying, I'm done with winter. Yup, completely, absolutely done! No more cold, no more freezing rain, no more fighting with my children and husband to shovel, no more cold frosty bone chilling mornings, no more cold period! Be gone arctic weather! I'm thinking only spring thoughts from this point forward. Do you think it will work? I'm picturing daffodils, Tim’s roll up the rim to win cups and Easter cream eggs....... Don't laugh; I secretly love Easter cream eggs:) Speaking of food, my daily choices were good, not great but a solid good. Gym time on the other hand, less than stellar. I'm crazy busy at work and got caught up in all things Wellness activities and let my time slip by.  My schedule is hectic because we are launching a new wellness program at work on Wednesday and it's just coming together. Ironic that I'm spearing heading it for my department and in the process, let my wellness must do’s slip on bye.. I know it’s kind of paradoxical, but today I'm blaming it on the snow. Again with the snow. Yup, I'm done with the snow. I'm doing winter anymore..... Yet I still need to finish shovelling, sigh...................... snow, snow, snow..

aahhhh.......

Well, things didn't quite go as planned for the day but I did manage 5 of the things on my list. I'm just not sharing what I did not manage to fit in.
#3 has 2 great games of BBall. She may be the smalllest girl on the court but she plays with the most heart and always with a smile. Her team won a game and lost a game. # 1 made it to hockey practice and cheered his on for her first game. # 2 won his game in OT and we all managed to meet at the rink at the same time to cheer him on. Overall, not bad for a Sunday and with a bit of prep work before leaving for the day we rocked our food chocies as well. I packed a cooler with apples, oranges, carrots, celery with PB, protein Smash cookies, (will post receipe) granola bars, chicken wraps, and lots of water. The only thing left in the bag is a few carrots::)  Everyone is off to the showers, while I heat up leftover pasta for supper then it's  homework time and maybe a bit of downtime before bed:)

Ready Set Go...

Church, 2 basketball games, 1 rugby practice, 1 hockey practice, 1 hockey game, and atleast a 30 min run for me, somewhere, anywhere, ......... Significant Other(SO), is off to work and I'm running solo today just for added excitment. What will the day bring.....

Definition of a habit= not my blog:)

If at first you don’t succeed try, try again... Well, here I go. To say life has been busy is an understatement. All activities are in full force with tournaments here there and everywhere and someplace between we try to connect as a family and of course work. Life in a family of five is all about juggling. We learn to roll with the unexpected and we definitely don’t sweat the small stuff. Moments when I question the insanity and wonder if I’m rushing through everything too quickly, the thought that my children will be adaptable, creative and flexible makes me feel somewhat better. It’s a good thing right? Number 2 and 3 are in bed and number one is with Dad at hockey. The weekend is once again full but we will manage. Life is good.
