Why I joined and quickly quit the 5 am club

I got all high and mighty and declared that I was joining the 5 am club on Monday's and Tuesday's.

Yesterday I got up at 4:45 and was out the door and to the gym before my normal get up time. I had packed my bag the night before and slept in my workout clothes.

The workout was great. I love being on the treadmill or elliptical. I did the elliptical for 30 mins and then did some abs. My plan is to do abs one day, then arms, then legs. I was feeling awesome, awake, and hungry. So I ate my protein bar, and grabbed my bag to go in and take a shower.

My gym is 20 mins from my house but only 5 from my work so showering there in the morning is the logical thing to do.

Until I walked into the bathroom.

Our gym is smaller and the showers are in the bathrooms. Which means there are only 3 bathrooms/showers. A men's, women's and unisex. The women's was taken so I went into the unisex. Which someone had just taken a big shadoobie and it smelled like god awful fruit spray mixed with shit. Gag. I packed my to go bag of Clorox wipes before I left the house just in case. Thank gawd I did because ew. There was some un known brownish yellow substance on the floor of the shower. I scrubbed the entire shower and sink before I even started to clean myself up. But not before I went to the first aid kit and took the rubber gloves because well I didn't want to accidentally touch anything on my cleaning spree.

I brought flip flops and wore them the entire time. It was gross. The fan was broken so it was like crazy steam all over the mirror, that's no bueno when trying to do my make up. There were 3 knocks on the door while I was in there and they wanted to have a conversation. The one guy said "ETA please" I ignored him since duh can't you hear the water running?!?!?!?

(Ignore the hair and lack of makeup)

I love our gym but this was the first time having to shower there and now I will never do it again. Our contract with this gym us up in May so I'm going to look into joining the Planet Fitness that just opened by my work.

I don't have an issue with showering in public place as long as it is clean and I don't fell rushed. The set up is just not good. The place I used to work had a gym in it. It was one of my favorite parts of the job because the job itself sucked. But it had one huge locker room with individual shower stalls.

Anyone belong to Planet Fitness??? Do you like it?

Friday Favorites

Love that it's Friday Love that its Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us! Linking up with Andrea today! One These PJ's. When we first got married (and even before I was married really) I used to wear cute PJ's to bed and then I started to wear not so cute PJ's to bed so I ordered some new ones and OMG girls get these now. So so soft so so comfy and under $20.00! Plus they have pockets!   Two While your shopping at Kohls throw some of these picture frames in your cart! Just for fun! I love that they are easy to change out and have a distressed look! Plus they can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. Love! Three We have been swimming like crazy and that equals all the things that go with swimming like a million towels and swim suits. My bathroom was a mess. I usually never wash my swim suits I just rinse them out and hang dry they last a lot longer doing it that way and so I had things hanging every where! So I ord

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a

Home Schooling

Ah home schooling something that all of the country was thrown into. March 13 th was the last day that Grayson went to school and Charlotte and Marshalls last day was March 12 th . We got the call on March 15 th that school was closed for 2 weeks and that a pick up for at home materials would be on Tuesday. It was not required just suggested and so we loosely did school work. A worksheet here, spelling words here, some math problems ya know simple things. We truly believed that 2 weeks and they would be back in the classroom that is what the district presented as happening and so the distance learning was just to occupy time not to really learn anything new. Everything we were given was review.  Then we got the notification March 30 th we were closed again for another 2 weeks. Again, we were being loose with the learning because I was now working from home all but one day a week and had all three kids home and lets be honest it was a lot. Michael was still working 4-5 days a wee
