Doing good

Thursday was my first day of babysitting the girls, and I have to say it is going pretty good.
I was worried that I would be super tired becuase I have gotten VERY used to going back to bed after sending the boys off to school, and sleeping till noon or later, but so far so good.

Right around 2pm Thursday and Friday, I got real tired, but that lasted for about half hour each day, and I have found that when I feel that tiredness come on, if I get up and do something - sweep the floor, load the dishes, that type of thing, it really helps with the tiredness.

In the evenings I've been OK too, able to stay up as late as we normally do, without troubles, though Friday night Micah and I rented some movies and I fella sleep halfway through the second one, where as normally I am good to go until 3 or 4 am.

I won't deny that my Google search history includes best eye creams, becuase I have more prominent dark circles right now, but as a whole, it is going better then even I expected, and I figured it would be good.

One slip up happened on Friday afternoon. I was holding the baby, she is probably 30 pounds, and I crouched down - like a squat - to pick something up, while holding her. I'm not sure if you have been lucky enough to ever hear a baby giggle, but if you have, you can understand why I continued to do squats while holding her, becuase I would do just baout anything to keep a baby laughing, and Brooke found it absolutly hilarious. I've NEVER heard her laugh so hard!

So I did Squats, and lots of them, about ten minutes worth and I was going up and down pretty fast. While doing them, and afterward too, I wasn't in pain, My legs never got that burn-y shaky feeling like my muscles tend to get while I exercises, so I thought nothing of it. Until I tried to get out of bed this morning.

My Thighs are ONE FIRE, OMG.

So yeah. no more squats with the baby. Even if she giggles.

...

OK, maybe just a couple!
