    Tuesday

    First of all, today is my mom's birthday - Happy Birthday, Mom! I love you. I know you would do anything for me or my children and that is very important to me. I do not express how much I love you or how often I think of you.

    I have been up since 3 a.m. this morning. Baby J woke up to be fed, then I pumped because I had not pumped since 10 p.m. and was slightly engorged - yielded 12 oz. Oh my. I feel like a cow sometimes.

    While pumping, I carried out an internal debate - to go back to sleep after pumping (would be just after 4 a.m. at this point) or go ahead and work out while the kids are both sound asleep, enabling me to drop Son off at school for before-care and head to the office with baby J by 8 a.m. I have a long awaited hair appointment at 11 a.m. - cut, color, highlights which will take 2+ hours. Did you know I was supposed to go to the stylist the day I delivered J? I actually called my stylist from the hospital to cancel the appointment. So my hair is overdue for some TLC.

    Anyway, back to my internal debate. I could knock out 2-2.5 hr of work, then head to the stylist, then back to work for 1-1.5 hr, then pick up Son for soccer at 4 p.m.

    Since it is now 5:40-ish, which won?

    I had a most fabulous workout - ran 5 mi in 43 min, walked 1/2 mi, did 2 sets of dumbbell routine.

    Oops. I hear Son waking up right now. I better go upstairs to put him back to sleep. Maybe catch a 30 min nap myself?
