Sore doesn't begin to describe what I feel...

Oh. My. God.

That hurt. One hour of pure torture. And the best part? I'm going back tomorrow. Oh yea. I'm officially insane. Absolutely nuts. Bonkers. Off my rocker... and I love it!

I got to my class and they were doing a fitness test. One minute of push ups, one minute of sit ups, plank, wall sit, and 10min walk/run... oh yea... I suck. No. Really. I suck.

I can't do a single sit up. Not one. I tried, holy crap I tried. Supposed to put your hands by your temple and pull up to your knees. Nope, not gonna happen. I tried to put my hands flat at my sides, nope, still not gonna happen. I tried to launch myself up, STILL didn't happen. So on my fitness test, I wrote zero... oh yea... zero in the column. I so suck.

Here it comes...

BUT....

I'm proud of myself for going. I'm proud of myself for trying. And I'm damn happy that I'm going to keep trying until I can actually do it! There is nothing I can do about not being fit right NOW... but as I go... I'm going to get there, I'm going to do it.

For now. My butt hurts. My quads hurt. My stomach hurts... aka abs... hehehe... my arms, feet, neck... blah blah blah... you get it... I'm so sore. Sore doesn't begin to describe how it feels... whew...

Right now I can use all the support you're willing to give me. Emotional. Spiritual. Hell... I'll take cheerleaders. I love getting applause. :) Seriously though, I think this is going to be an amazing experience for me. There is a woman that was right next to me, egging me on, pushing me, telling me that I can do it. I couldn't believe it. She didn't even know my name, but she's there for the same thing. To get fit. To get in shape. To be a better... well... to be a better everything.

My first day down... 7 weeks and 6 days to go... oh god... I'm gonna need help. :)

    Honest truth - 3 years ago when I started I could not do a single sit up either. In any position. I was convinced I had birthed my core with the last child. It wasen't even that it hurt, it was as though the muscles did not exist.
    And now, after so much trying, I may not be in awesome shape, but my average workout includes at least 50 situps, plus bicycles and a minute plank.
    It seems really, really impossible. I know. But you can do it baby! Yay you!

The End isn't always THE End

After almost seven years I'm closing my dayhome. I've had the same girl with me for four of those years. None of my kids were with me less than a year. It's amazing how attached you get to other peoples children. Finding the courage to tell the parents I was closing was the most difficult thing I've ever ever had to do. I know it won't be the last difficult thing, and I know that there will be moments in my life that will not even compare to this. For now, this is my life. I cry at the thought of losing these kids. I smile at the thought of working outside my home again. I get upset when I think of all the things I'm going to miss with this. I laugh at the thought of getting my art "studio" back. I am conflicted emotionally. My husband, my boys, they've got my back. They're supportive and encouraging. I've got wonderful family and friends to help me through this. It is a selfish thing of me to feel this way, however, I need to

Washing My Hair in the Sink

We woke up late this morning. Jerome and Xavier decided to sleep in and Sylvain didn't set his alarm. I woke up and looked around, it was bright in our room. Oh no. That means the sun is coming up. That means it's after 7am. Crap. Turns out it was 7:45am. My dayhome is 'supposed' to be open at 7am, Sylvain is supposed to be off to work at 7:30. EEK! Jump out of bed, don't even get dressed, run downstairs and check the front door. Nobody. Whew. Then I start to wander around and turn on lights, straighten up and realize I probably have to wash my face. Make up, wonderful... unless you go to bed with it on. Anyway. Everything started out in a hurry, but slowed down after that. I was going to have a dayhome safety check done today, but she called and rescheduled. But that wasn't before I ran around putting things away, cleaning things, locking up cupboards, etc. Sheesh. In between babies snacking, playing, diaper changes. And that was BEFORE lunch! I remember I have

Where to Start

 Time flies when there's a pandemic and you're in out of school care. I swear I just made the previous post the other day, not three weeks ago! So much has happened, but before we even begin to talk about that, let's discuss some topics that I want to go over. The next few posts that I create will be centered around behaviour. Yes, I know, everyone talks about behaviour and how it's linked to feelings, situations, peers, caregivers, weather, meals, etc. Really it all is. However, there is so much more to it than.. Joe hit Sue because he was angry that she took his truck. While Joe is probably very angry and did indeed hit her for that reason, is there something else? Should we be helping him unpack and determine where those feelings came from? So much can be learned. After that I hope to go over observation vs supervision. Yes. There is indeed a difference. Maybe not to most, but if you have intent and purpose as motivation to watch what the children do and how they int
