Gym babysitting helps keep me sane (somewhat)

I didn't make it to the gym today because I needed to go to BRU, Target and Bed Bath & Beyond. Not exactly my ideal day, but a mom's duty calls. Little H and I were back, however, by noon. The day started off much earlier than I would have liked due to the little guy's new, unimproved napping schedule, or lack thereof. He was fussy when we got back, wouldn't nap... so I needed to figure out what to do with him since it was a balmy 85 degrees in our condo (and not much reprieve outdoors). Since the gym babysitter leaves at 2pm, I didn't have time to get in a workout. It's on days like today when I realize just how much 1 hour at the gym keeps me sane, even if only a little bit.

We usually go late mornings after his nap, and it's like a physical and mental recharge to get me through the day. Not only do I get some "me time", but Little H can crawl around to his heart's content (without me constantly wondering what he's getting into, which is everything these days).

Needless to say, we'll be heading to the gym tomorrow morning. I need my recharge. That, and because I just inhaled a burger, fries and ice cream. I'm going to roll myself to bed now.
