my looooong weekend

This is the e-mail I got Sunday after swimming...
Dear Kelly,
You need rest.
Lots of sleep and all of your chores can wait.
Sleep as much as you want for the next 3 days.
Love,
Your Body
I have done nothing but sleep, watch football, hang around, cuddle with my kids for the last 3 days. I did not even leave the house except to take Matthew to Taekwondo and Grandma out for supper last night...and I didn't even do my hair!! GAH!!! In fact my kids were driving me up the wall at one point and I tossed them outside, in their pj's with their boots and winter coats on...good parenting...no? I peeked out at one point and they had both lost their coats and were running around in the falling snow with just their pj's and boots on...and having a BLAST...boys.
I did get on my bike for 45 minutes last night in what Coach Justin calls a "recovery ride". Recovering from sitting on my arse all day!! But I finally felt like moving so onto the bike I went for a quick little 45 minute spin. A light week this week but looking forward to next week...yikes!
