Spring BREAK.....what is that?

I love spring break for my own selfish reasons.  I love that I can go to bed at night and not have to set the alarm. I love that I don't have to wake up only to struggle getting my kids up, fed, dressed, lunches made, folders signed, hair done, teeth brushed and out the door to school.

But at the same time I don't love spring break because it throws off our routine.  I work from home so trying to entertain your kids while getting your work done is a challenge.  I am swamped with work.  I'm an event planner full time and I have 3 events next week.  Monday was the first day of spring break and I had broken up countless arguments between both kids and had to break out the first aid kit THREE times!  We had a busted lip, scraped knees and a spider bite.  Never a dull moment. 

By day 3 of spring break, Kaylee had been diagnosed with strep throat, Brian got a crack in the windshield of his brand new car and by this time I have lost my sanity and my patience with this so called spring "break."

However, this has NOT stopped me from getting my workouts in.  In fact, it was a much needed escape from the craziness at our house.  I took my O2 Gold an hour before I left and then chugged down a rehydrate mixed with Arginine Extreme (Advocare products) and I was ready to tackle a good workout!  Monday I tried out Body Sculpt and am forever hooked!  It may say it's a full body workout but our instructor decided to work out only our lower half of the booty.....I mean body!  Holy soreness!  I've been running for almost 3 years now but nothing could have prepared my legs and butt for that.  I haven't done that many squats in the past 5 years combined.  But it felt GREAT!  Tuesday I took on Zumba once again.  That class is just pure calorie burning FUN!  I will be taking a mid week break today to let my body rest.  But I will be right back at tomorrow.

So we are only 3 days in to spring break.  Can't wait to see what the rest of the week has in store for us.  Hope everyone is enjoying their "break" (if you get one). 

EXCITING SIDE NOTE:  I tried on a pair of 10 shorts this past weekend and they buttoned and zipped.  I didn't say they were cute or flattering.....but they zipped!
