Oh Happy (Wednes)Day

Well, hello there. Ummm. If you have been following me - you will know that today is a MOST joyous day:) If you haven't - check it out HERE or HERE or hell you can see it throughout ALL the old posts. Eric DID come through and take the kids to daycare for me, which means I RULE and I had an AWESLEMO morning. So I thought I would walk you through my glorious morning.

Alarm went off at 4:00 am - woke up, threw on some work out clothes and hit the treadmill for a great 5 miler.
I look thrilled
After finishing up my work-out I hit the showers. it was so nice. My neck is killing me - I think I slept on it wrong or something. I just let the hot water soothe my aches away. HEAVEN!


Put on some clothes and then checked on my babes... this was the fabulous sight!
Elle asleep
Wes asleep
After getting ready I headed down stairs for a nice cup of coffee.


I also threw together some snacks to get me through today, tomorrow, etc...

Sorry all you Greek Yogurt fans - I like that shiz somewhat. I can stomach it for so long and then I have to take a break. Right now I can't stomach shoveling another Greek yogurt down my throat that has the consistency of Cocoa Butter lotion. So onto my Yoplait and artificial sweeteners.

3:00 pm sugar attack snack
My final and always MOST needed snack. 

This is one item we have in EVERY room of the house. You know we have kids we run and work-out and this helps those joints and aches, blah, blah, blah. Seriously my NECK IS KILLING ME. 

Ummm is that a jacket you see - it is. HELLOOOOOOO 50 degree mornings.
 

Oh wait little Missy is up - looking all cute and all AND not a peep to her Daddy about the clothes - must of been nice for E creep.

AND finally my Mister brushing his teeth. 


Off to work I go - ALONE in my car, coffee in hand, 105.7 on the dial, and not a care in the world until tomorrow morning.

In honor of  "official talk like a pirate day" a joke for you. This was Elle's Halloween joke a few years ago - she was a pirate. 

How much does a Pirate pay for earrings? A BUCCANEER! Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. If you don't get it a buck an ear. BAH!

Any favorite snacks to get you through the day? Greek vs. regular yogurt? Pirate jokes?

Have a Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat Day mates

  2. I hate when I sleep on my neck wrong! It always seems to take a week for it to go away. Here's hoping it is much quicker for you :)

    Also: I agree with Shelli.

    3. Emily starts daycare next Monday and hubby will be back to taking the kids in the morning! I get to head out on my own every morning!! But I will still have to get them up and dressed for the husband to take them... whatever! Moms are just awesome!
    4. Where did you find these skinny cow candies!? I need them asap!
    5. Do you ever take excedrine? Its my drug of choice... pain relief + caffiene!!! It seriously is my afternoon snack sometimes for a little pick me up! I gave up soda, and not a huge coffee drinker so I guess I have to get it thru drugs now!? eeks....

  6. Funny how little girls are always angels for daddy and terrors for us. Glad you got your relaxing morning and hope your neck feels better. That has got to be one of the worst pains to deal with.

  8. I thought about you this morning when J called me to let me know the kids were tardy and he broke the tween's straighter and the boy was definitely at school in cleats. So glad I missed all that even if I was at work! I am glad you got your day, even if she did behave for him!

  10. My go-to snack is Hidden Valley's Nature Thins, dark chocolate. Only 80 calories, and just enough to take care of the cravings.

    Lucky you having a stress-free morning!

  11. Yay for the hubby taking the kiddos to school! I am currently on the Greek yogurt kick BUT I couldn't finish mine this morning. As a matter of fact, I kinda gagged. Maybe I need to switch up for a little while. My favorite snacks are those Goldfish graham crackers. They're def not the best snack but they are whole grain and I love the vanilla cupcake flavor. It satisfies my craving for a cupcake! Ha! And the pirate joke made me laugh!
