Clean, Run, Eat, Repeat

I guess it's a good thing that Spring is finally here.  Not only does it bring sunshine and warm weather, it also brings back my motivation which seriously drags during the winter months. 

I got up Saturday ready to clean!  I went to work on my never ending mountain of laundry, and then headed upstairs with my vacuum and a bottle of pledge.  I got a lot of winter stuff put away which means it's sure to snow at least one more time to prove my ambition wrong.  Aidyn and I also got some cookies made, made Play-Doh birthday cakes, played a game of Memory, made tacos for dinner and ended the night with a few bed time stories.  My workout for the day, yup, that was it. 

Today,  I was able to tackle more laundry (seriously, it really is never ending - and my most hated job) before I headed out to run at noon.  It. Was. A. BEAUTIFUL. Day!!!  I saw 80 degrees at some point today, but it was pretty windy.  I felt pretty good but my friend Steph was not having a good running day (nothing wrong with that, it happens.  some days you just aren't feeling it).  It was suppose to be 8 miles but I did my last two miles by myself and ended up pushing through a 9th mile.  I'm sure I'll be paying for it tomorrow.  My foot is sore, but I iced and I'm hoping a good mix of light running and cross training will get me through the week. 

After my run, and after chugging a Gatorade AND a chocolate milk, I met Tim and Aidyn for a quick lunch then out to the store for some necessities for the week, got my car washed and de-Aidynized vacuumed and then back home to do a bit more cleaning and cleaning up so we could head to his folks house for dinner and the start of the KU basketball game.  Whew.  Finally, time for bed.  Stupid motivation makes me tired!

As a side note, Aidyn has been eating non-stop for the last three days.  She is hardly EVER a big dinner eater, but she's been putting away everything I give her.  Must be time for a growth spurt.  Sigh...I JUST bought her clothes for spring/summer.  I can't afford to replace them already. 

Ok, off to bed.  I have no one to watch Aidyn tomorrow, so she is actually coming to work with me tomorrow.  She'll spend the day in the room with the other 4 and 5 year olds.  She'll have a blast! 

Good night!  I hope your weekend was as productive and successful as mine! 

What's your most hated household chore?
