So sore..

I love the feeling of sore muscles :) I've been going to the gym and pushing myself....hopefully I will see the results I want...not just a "healthy heart"! The hot yoga is soooo awesome! It's a total butt-kicker, but you feel AWESOME afterwards. I also took a barbell strength class, that was intimidating. It was more then half full when I got there, 15 minutes early. Everyone had their mat, step-stool thingy, barbell with weights and hand weights. All these women knew each other and are all talking about what happened at this get-together or that one. I was ready to high tail it outta there, felt like I stepped into HS cliches! I don't know why, at 27, that was so intimidating to me. I stayed, did the class, got my butt handed to me and am very sore for it!

Caleb has his firts big field trip this Friday, going to Jamestown! He and Roddy leave at 5:30 AM! They will get back around 9PM, I'm kinda jealous....wish I could go, but there are still too many little ones at home. Saturday is Ronn's family reunions,semi-annual Atlantic City trip. The three little kids are going with grandma and grandpa for the weekend, b/c of Calebs field trip, he's going with a friend of mine on Saturday. I'm looking forward to it, should be a fun weekend :)

Trying to get myself into some kind of routine, that includes the gym and keeping the house running clean and smooth. Part of this means that the kids really need to have a chore chart. I CANNOT keep up with four kids' messes. I end up uber frustrated and constantly cleaning. Just googled "mulitple children chore charts", got a few good templates. Now I need a printer :) I am doing too much of their cleaning, and they aren't learning anything about cleaning up after themselves and I'm way too exhausted at the end of the day (not to mention, I just can't do it all). Any other suggestions?? Any good, healthy and QUICK dinner recipes?? I feel like every so often I need a new updated, schedule for life! Right now, I'm overwhelmed with it all. I want my kids to have more one-on-one time with me. I want them to help keep up with their rooms/bathroom/playroom. I want to do a better job with getting dinner done at a reasonable hour (though this conflicts with a lot of the gym classes). I want to eat healthier and be more active. I just need a life planner, and someone who can come in, organize my house and schedule and then I just have to keep up with it! I could do this so easily for someone else, but doing it for myself is such a challenge! Ugh...I needed to vent all that! Now maybe I can do something with it, since it's out of my head.
