Random Thoughts from Tonight

1. Went to the gym after the kids were in bed. It's a long drive, so hard to convince myself to do it, but I really should go more often.

2. I was watching Hannity & Combes on the Cardio Theatre (this is one way that the Y here completely has it over the Y I used to go to at home) and they were talking ad nauseum about Hillary Clinton. I find it interesting how polarizing she is, but what I absolutely could not believe was the conservative woman (I have no idea who she is because I'm not a big Fox News watcher - surprise, surprise!) saying that Hillary Clinton broke the first rule of feminism because she took her husband's last name. Hello? Does anyone remember the outcry when Bill Clinton became president and the First Lady had a DIFFERENT last name? For Pete's sakes! You can't have it both ways people!

3. I had a lot more thoughts... but now I'm tired... crap :)

Went to the gym tonight after the kids were in bed. I've been saying for two months now that I was going to do that, especially since Leah and Ian seem to be unimpressed with me leaving them in the babysitting room. The first time I tried it they screamed for 10 minutes straight until I heard myself called over the loudspeaker to come and get them. So since then I've usually only gone on Saturday mornings while Millie is in her class and Hal can look after the little guys.

It felt SOOOOO good to be out of the house BY MYSELF. There was no one calling for Mommy. No phones to answer. No one wanting a drink, a snack, or to drool or climb on me. One of the things I love about this Y is their "cardio theater". I watched three different tv shows at the same time and didn't have anyone complaining that they didn't want to watch what I was watching.

And the rest, well... I was going to write about it, but not tonight. I'm choosing to enjoy the feeling of having accomplished something, no matter how insignificant it may have been.
