Lost days and birthdays

The week before half term I came down with a bug! So no gym.
Half term was 2 long weeks for me. I was itching to get to the gym. I was clawing at my skin missing it badly.
Now 3 weeks down the line I went today properly.
I did 20 minutes cross trainer, 10 mins treadmill, 5 mins rowing, weights, sauna and then 20 quick lengths.
I feel so much happier for doing it even though I know that I am going to hurt in the morning. I also know I really need to crack on with the getting fit as not going to a while has put me back from my goal and made me unhappy.
I feel lardy again, more lardy :(
My aim is to just keep at it and be really strict with it for a while. I will be back in the gym tomorrow morning.

The thing is, I thrive on routine. I need routine. I need to be organised. I like to know what I am doing and when.
I like to drop the kiddies off, go to the gym, do my set, get home, tidy, organise dinner and all the other mundane Mummy jobs.
Don't get me wrong. I can be spontaneous. I am really good at being spontaneous. In fact I used to be great at it. But my husband isn't such a spontaneous person. And I don't have the energy for the both of us.
So spontaneity needs to fit in with family life, with my Mummy jobs, with my organisation.
I am an organised, spontaneous, artist. 

Today is my hubalubbas birthday. I woke him up (with the kids) and presented him with a blue ray player and blue rays. He is one happy bunny.
I am currently waiting for him to come home so we can give him his birthday cake. A lemon curd cake. Here is the before and after the kids decorated it for you to admire. lol

Being organised, I find it really hard to let them touch my beautiful cake. But they enjoyed decorating it so much how could I deny them that. I am sure Daddy will love it :). Tonight we are off out for food. I am going to blindfold him and drive him around for a bit until we arrive at the place I have booked. Just because that's how I roll.
