Week 7, Day 6

It's been a crazy couple of days!  Nathan woke up sick in the night on Thursday night around 3:30.  So, of course, my brain starts racing with how I'm going to get things organized for Friday.  I couldn't get back to sleep, so I got up and worked through what I needed to prepare to leave for the sub that day.  Things were made more complicated by the fact that my cooperating teacher wasn't there that day. 

While I'm doing this, I'm feeling guilty because I felt like I was more concerned about work and the inconvenience this whole thing was causing than I was about my son.  Ugh - it was awful.  When he was sick for the second time I was actually yelling at him to get to the bathroom.  The poor kid is only 5 and has only been sick a couple of times in his life.  He would just freeze when he felt like he was going to be sick.  It's not my most proud Mom moment (have you noticed most of my bad Mom moments are in the middle of the night??  I desperately need my sleep).

Anyway, I ended up staying home with the kids on Friday and got my last workout of month 1 of Insanity finished!  I can't believe I'm done the first month.  Starting tomorrow I do a recovery week and then start the max workouts.  I'm quite nervous but also excited.

I spent most of the day yesterday and today prepping for next week.  To achieve my goal of having the week ready by the night before school (Monday night this week) I have to do double duty this weekend.  If I can do it, though, I'll have all next week to prepare for the following week.  I think it's possible, but it's going to be busy this weekend.  Plus, with my university supervisor coming on Tuesday I needed to be really prepared for that lesson.

I also spent some time in the kitchen today.  I made a pumpkin pie for supper tomorrow night (we're going to a friend's house), banana-chocolate chip muffins, chicken breasts for the week, and overnight buns (which will go in the oven tomorrow morning).

I am so hungry tonight!  Yesterday I had a touch of the flu as well and ended up eating crackers all day.  I tried to eat my regular lunch but couldn't do it.  I didn't gain any weight from the day of bad eating, but I have been really hungry all day.  I've eaten well today, although I drank too much Diet Coke ... again.  *sigh* 

Tonight I restarted listening to Lysa Terkeurst's 'Made to Crave'.  I got a lot out of it when I listened to it several months ago, and I think I'll learn even more now that I'm on my own road to dealing with my food issues. 

One thing that I remember her saying is that 'If it's not on my plan, it doesn't go in my mouth.'  I need to get back to that resolve.

Well, I still have more prep to do tonight so I should get on it ...

One week sans Peter in the books!  I'm also 1/3 of the way through my internship :)
