Teaholic not quite anonymous

Well, I'm proud to say I've been getting up at 6:15 every morning this week to work out. I didn't think I still had it in me, honestly. The last few weeks I've been working my workouts into my days (somehow, don't ask me how). But that's a pain to plan around so 6:15 really is the best time to do it. However, they aren't the best workouts since my muscles are tight and well, I'm TIRED! But, they are workouts none-the-less.

The last three days I've helped with Vacation Bible School at my old church. They've not needed me since they've had so few kids, but Maddy's loved running around and playing. Since I've said I'd be there, I thought I may as well continue whether they needed me or not. Funniest part? I don't remember VBS at all last year? I'm pretty sure we helped by snacks and that maybe I helped prep crafts? But I know I wasn't involved in teaching it. So when I walked in and saw Charlie on Tuesday I was quite surprised at myself that I remembered him clear as day from spending 3 hours with him a day for five days TWO YEARS AGO. But yep, I guess that's the teacher in me. I still remember the majority of the kids I taught back in 1998 in college. That's almost 10 years. Now, I'm not saying I'd recognize them now, but I remember their names and what they were like clear as day.

Last night I went to Walmart to get a few things we needed (diapers, contact solution, socks, etc). Of course I wind up buying things we DON'T need. I bought a few books for Maddy and a tea set since she's been enjoying drinking my tea. It's amazing to me how a couple little home purchases can make me so happy. I bought a potpouri mix for our powder room and also a glade plugin with a night light for our dining room to scent the main floor. Funny how those 'little' purchases make a difference to me!

Another failure on the vitamin front for Maddy though. I've now gone through four different types--flintstones, powdered, two liquid. None were a go. But I bought pediasure while I was there and Maddy loves it. So, at least there's a little way to get some extra vitamins in.

This afternoon Maddy had playgroup with Hailey and they played on the deck some in their suits with the water. I think they had a good time!

I was supposed to have Bunco tonight, but Matt had to get home a bit late and honestly, I'm so tired I wasn't even sure I was up for it. I would have gone had I had the chance but it's really nice to be sitting and doing nothing right now. I cleaned through all of Maddy's nap today. (I need to have people over more often--the house was a mess.)

Ok, off to hang out with Matt!

Tea of the day: Ginger Black sun tea. I used Lipton Cold Brew bags in the sun for a while this AM (found the lipton in the cabinet). After I got it in I added Ginger Spice syrup for coffee to it. I'm not sure if I like it or not yet. It seems sweet and I'm not into sweet tea. I also had the last of the Chai Green Sun Tea and two glasses of green brown rice tea from Hailey's mom and it's REALLY good.

WO of the day: 30 minutes elliptical
