Mamavation: Ice Cream

It is Mamavation Monday time again!So last week, I don’t even know what I planned. I still watched what I ate pretty good. I ended up working extra hours and trying to balance a crazy to-do list. I made it through the week and was happy with that. The ice cream place here has 5 cent ice cream cones once a year. Grace, my oldest, had wanted to go out to get ice cream for weeks (we rarely do this!) So we decided to go get ice cream. I do have to say it was the best quarter (5 ice creams), we spent in a long time as the kids enjoyed it so much. Sometimes you just have to give in and be a family. I am glad I gave in and joined them for this as I will remember it as the first ice cream cone Grace ate!

Last week, I lost half a pound. It isn’t much but I will take it as the scale moved down and that is the right direction. (I have a bridesmaid dress to wear come May 7th!)

This week, I get to work my butt off in the yard. Literally. I am off work this week to help landscape. We are making a path so the preschoolers can go in our back door directly into the preschool space instead of tromping through my living room each day. We had 19 cubic yards of mulch delivered on Friday. Between yesterday after church and this morning, we spread probably a third to half of it on the playground. Next up are the flower beds and path. Can I say now my back is killing me?! I expect work off some calories this week outside for sure. Any days it rains are my inside cleaning days. And to think someone asked me if this was my “staycation”. If yard work and cleaning is a staycation, I don’t ever want one of those!=P
