So I take off for the gym this morning and I was so proud. I packed up the diaper bag with a couple bottles and some extra clothes and undies for Rex. Got the boys loaded up and off we went.
I get to the gym and go to grab the bag. It’s not there! Dang it! I figured I’d only be about an hour so we would probably be all right. My workout partner Kevin Theis (season 3 of BL) was there right on time.
Our trainer told us that the other guys we workout with couldn’t go till eleven. Kevin had to leave by then so he and I did our own workout. As we were getting ready to go my other partners came up and started razzing me a little.
Long story short, I decided to go again. After another circuit workout we decided to wrestle. After my first go I heard my name called on the intercom to report to childcare. ”Oh great, the boys have had enough.” I thought. Turns out the boys were fine and having fun. The problem was that the childcare was closing until 4.
I grabbed Rex, put Jax in the stroller and ran up to wrestle my next go. I think the boys liked watching daddy wrestle. I know Rex did. He was mad that we didn’t bring his workout gear and shoes. Before we left we had to do Rex’s “push-ups”.
We got home and I put the boys down for a nap. While they were out I cleaned the house and then Gramma GiGi and Auntie came and got the boys so I could have a break. I thought I would just lay down and watch some TV. It’s weird, but it was almost too quiet.
I got up and went to our room and organized all the drawers. Seriously, socks, underwear,jeans, tshirts, both mine and Suzy. By the time it was done it was time to go workout again.
The thing I can’t get over is how quickly time goes. My wife makes everything look easy. It’s not! I will definitely think twice before I decide to take off for a training camp or something like that next time. I can’t wait till Suzy gets home but this time with the boys has taught me a lot.
I have definitely grown this week and it is only going to help me be a better dad and husband. It’s been tough but it’s been good and it is only temporary thankfully.
See you tomorrow!
