This blog is titled Kelsey's Thoughts, so here come some. It helps me get to sleep if I get some of this stuff in writing. That way it's not floating around in my head as I'm trying to sleep.
Today I called the several fitness centers around town and finally found one with child care: the YWCA. I found out that for $50 a month, I can work out for up to 2 hours a day and they'll watch my kids, but they won't change diapers. Sounds good to me. I should only need a month anyway. I still have daycare and gym access for the next two or three weeks. After that, I can join YWCA for a month, and then it should be about time for me to head to Idaho. I want to go to Idaho in early July so I can spend a good month or longer there. We'll see how that actually works out though. Either way, I'm relieved to find out that I can still exercise once school's out.
Tonight I rode my bike to CVS to get some zyrtec. I'm pretty sure Leyla has allergies, so I figured I'd try the OTC stuff before I go start meeting with allergists and find out I probably have to get rid of my cat. I'm hoping that when I get rid of my carpet this summer that maybe that will help. Who knows.
I have about a million and a half things to get done before this time next week. I have two tests on Wednesday, a 10 page paper due on Monday, a lab report and another long paper due on Tuesday. And next week, a final on Monday, a final on Tuesday, and a final on Friday. The good news is that Miguel FINALLY started helping out around the house. He's always been good about doing stuff outside- chopping down trees, etc. but I can't get him to wash a dish to save my life. Well, I guess since he's been home a lot more since his accident he's seen how hard I work and how much work it is for me to clean up and take care of the girls and do my school work and he's finally taken the initiative to help me out. I love it. When I come home to a house cleaner then when I left it, I breathe a big sigh of relief and some of that stress is lifted right off my shoulders.
The point is, I don't know how I'm going to get all this school stuff done. I don't want to sacrifice my week day workouts because then I'll just feel horrible and fat. Hmm.. maybe I can hire a babysitter this weekend. That's a thought. If I didn't have the girls distracting me, I think I could get a lot of work done over the weekend. I may end up having to do that. Or I guess Miguel could just watch the kids and I could lock myself in the back room. Anyway, I'm tired and even though I should be working on my paper, I'm sitting here typing and now I'll be going to sleep. *sigh* Nevermind about that sleeping part. Leyla just woke up again. I would just love to get a full, uninterrupted night of rest. So Jenette and Michelle, if you're reading this, take advantage of your sleep while you still can!! Because you can kiss that goodbye once your bundle of joy arrives. Even when they start sleeping through the night, the ear infections start. And then there's pin worm, which my girls haven't had yet, but I've heard is fairly common. It's a lot of work and very tiring, but it really is worth it. And lucky me- Leyla stopped crying, so maybe I really can go to bed!

Wow! That's one full week ahead.Do you know someone you could hire to watch the girls? Maybe Miguel could put them in the stroller and take them for a walk. I took them out for an hour and a half at a time while I was there and they loved it. That way Miguel could get some exercise at the same time...
Hope the OTC zyrtec does some good. And where the heck did that pinworm comment come from? I think you've been looking at too many microbiology slides :0)
What in the world is pin worm? I have never heard of that. It just sounds yucky.
