Monday Monday!

Mondays are hard on me....well, ok, maybe its not the MONDAY so much as the weekend but it is something less satisfying to blame (since really, can you blame the weekend?  No.).  Ok, so Saturday, the boys desperately needed haircuts (check!), we had plans to go sledding (nope, its been cold here again) so I took the boys for a "walk" at Target.  An hour and 15 minutes later I was tired from constant chaos of a  very busy Target store, trying to figure out what needed to be bought and just the boys in general (check!).  Lunch, Naptime (check, check!), 9 mile run - three of which were with Wilson, a discussion within itself, all 9 miles on top of four inches of ice/snow that we got last weekend.  I'm not going to lie, it wasn't easy.  Every step forward was a half step/slip back and jumping over mounds of snow at the intersections...sigh (check!).  Anyway, a trip to Hastings to meet my friends wonderful 6 day old baby girl!! (check :) )  So cute - some dinner and discussions later before I Know it I'm beat, its 9:30pm and I still have to drive my scotch drinking husband and our kids 35 miles home.  Sigh.  I got home (check!) and remembered I had a skijoring date scheduled with my brother in law, his dog Kaija and Wilson at 8:30am on Sunday.  My running jacket was still damp from my run so I threw everyrhing in the washer/dryer and got ready for my sunday morning workout as well (check :( ).

So I skied and wilson ran, then I wanted to ski and Wilson pulled ice out of his feet, then we skiied and then Wilson pulled ice out of his feet, then Wilson pulled ice out of his feet, then Wilson pulled ice out of his feet - then we skied, then more of wilson pulling ice out of his feet.  5K later I had had enough and his paws were bleeding from the salt/chemical/ice we ran on on Saturday and the picking at his feet from the snow on Sunday!  We went home, I was home by 9:20am.  Paul studies on Sundays so I get the boys all day to myself.  Yay (kind of?).  Laundry, laundry, clean, clean, play play...pet the puppy and the kitty. NAPTIME!   I sat on the couch and watched Hockey Day in America and researched dog booties.  $60 dollars later I bought four dog shoes that I HOPE will work.  It will make my life so much easier if they work .  I can't wait to get them.  They shipped today, Whoot, whoot!!  THen my parents came up and we went on to a tropical garden at the Como zoo to pretend it was warm outside with the boys, then out to dinner.  Yum.  Came home and I was so tired.  I stayed up until midnight though doing everything.

So Mondays are rough!  I wanted to take the day off but I've been so busy at work that I'm working at night from home and have big projects I need to complete this week.  I'm making dinner right now - grilling hamburgers and making roasted broccoli (it smells so good!!).  I can't wait to eat (but john just came up and he's poopy, awesome).
