1. Littlest Prince's room is finally finished! We had water damage in his room a little over a month ago and had to gut it and fix a "bunch of stuff"(that is actually the technical term). The carpet was put down today and that was the final step! He has been sharing a room(not sharing my bed ..I don't do animals or kids in my bed) with us for one month too long. I'm a light sleeper and any little noise he would make would wake me up. I'm looking forward to peaceful uninterrupted sleep tonight. During the construction on his room I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and have 2 of our bathrooms tiled. In my head this made sense, my house would already be a mess from contractors coming in and out tracking dirt all over the place. For the record, contractors do not care how clean your floors are or walls for that matter.
From now on, one project at a time!! The house was in total chaos and for a type A personality like myself I don't do chaos well. At times I was down right irrational(shocker, I know.) and I would be on my hands and knees cleaning the floors and wiping down walls. I even considered asking the workers to remove their shoes before coming inside.
2.Tomorrow night I have a date with my boys. I am taking them to see Alice in Wonderland and then to Maggie Moo's Ice Cream & Treatery (where I plan on overindulging in an Udderly Butter Bebopper) so Yummy!! I have heard that Alice in Wonderland is a bit trippy, but I don't care. Alice in Wonderland is my ALL time favorite movie from childhood.
3. Next week is Spring Break and we were planning on spending it on the white, sandy, beaches of San Destin, FL.......not so much. Wah, Wah, Wah... Hubby had to work. So I will be taking off work to have a "stay-cation" with the kids at home. Actually, it will probably be more like a "work-cation" as there is a ton of stuff to be done around the house. My brother is getting married in a few weeks and guess where the reception is.....my back yard. Woot. Woot. So my list of activities include cleaning out the garage that we can barely walk through, tilling up the garden(yes in AL it's almost planting time), mulching the flower beds, and a bunch more stuff that makes me sleepy just thinking about. Of course, I don't want the boys to have a sucky spring break so we'll hit up the local indoor pool, go to a museum, and do some other local activities that they are less than thrilled about. They really LOVE the beach. Hubby says he'll make it up to us. I'm thinking a Caribbean cruise should do the trick.;)
Running
I'm doing my first training run on hills tomorrow.....pray for me....I don't do hills....not that I can't...I just don't. I have the Rocket Run 10 miler on the 20th and I hoping hills will help take my running to another level.....
Goal for Rocket Run: sub 1:30:00
Oh one more thing! I know I called this Three Things Thursday but what I meant was 5 things... I've been doing the 30 Day Core Challenge hosted by One Run At A Time..and I am really feeling it today!
