Walked 7 miles today, swam 60 lengths...
Yes I am crazy, but I actually feel refreshed tonight. Tomorrow's sore muscles might have me singing a different tune, but I really enjoyed my walk today around the beautiful countryside near my house...somewhere I hadn't walked before, with my friend Ann, then a swim! I thought I'd do 10 then went to 20, soon it was 30, then I just went nuts and went for 50 lengths...I stopped for a while but got bored, so back again for a few more lengths before getting out! I want to start having at least three good walks a week without kids, where I can go at a faster pace, plus my more social walks in the mornings with the kiddies...
Aine drove me nuts today as usual, messing up the house quicker than I could clean it! She has become lollipop obsessed, ever since the butcher gave her one yesterday in town. "Yaya" she calls it, and now whines for them...help!! However, she also ate apples, bananas, dried fruit, cheese...lots of good things today, so her one "yaya" isn't so bad!
A woman at toddlers said that Aine has turned into a real little girl these days...she is a bit of a bully, stealing baby dolls away from older girls and making them cry! I have to keep giving them back! I am trying to teach that child manners, but I think it will take a while. She does say please and thank you now though... (thank you sounds like ga goo, but it is close enough!)
The night before last Aisling was having a bad night teething...I never slept longer than 1.5 hours that night, and then Aine woke up bright and energetic at 6am... Dave didnt come home from work till about 7pm...needless to say...I was exhausted...and then Aisling cried for about 30 minutes without stopping before finally going off to sleep. Dave was to give her the night feeds, but typically, she slept till 7am. So...he is on night duty again!
I took the girls into town yesterday and got Aine two new pairs of shoes, a purple girly pair and some cute hiking boots...she LOVES shoes...a bit of Imelda Marcos in her!
She kept saying "beast"this afternoon... I thought she wanted to see her favorite show, Maggie and the Ferocious Beast...but turns out she was saying "beach" for the Baby Einstein Baby Neptune video...watched that about 80,000 times today, she kept getting the remote control and nearly could rewind it on her own!!
Had a dip in the hot tub tonight after my exercise...heavenly! Off to bed now...

Hi
Sounds like a very productive and relaxing day for you.
I am still dizzy. Meds help but mornings are worst. I keep hoping it will go away but guess I will go back to doc next week and look closer at what is going on...never a dull moment eh.
Aine is getting older she will be fun to watch but will wear you out but she is such a silly girl that sometimes you can only laugh at her. Love, MOM
