Thursday: Pure Barre and Day Off

Sloan III and Sloan IV

So today, I had a day off of exercise and working and child care.  It is very very rare that those things coincide and when they do, I am just amazed at the amount of time that I have on my hands.  There are always a thousand things to do, but I generally get them done, rather than look helplessly at my list as the minutes slip into hours, and I am suddenly racing to get everyone into bed.  

I went to the Pure Barre studio and got in a Pure Barre workout, I had my watch fixed, and hit the grocery store.  At home, I cleaned several things out of my closet and listed them on ebay, for which I hope I will reap great monetary rewards.  

In other news, when Sloan the Younger came home from nursery school, he was coughing and lethargic, and his teachers said that he had napped like a freight train.  It appears that sickness is upon us, and of course, sanitation queen that I am, we have shared food twice today.  Doctor's appointment tomorrow, where we will no doubt catch something terrible in the waiting room if we are not indeed already infected.  

On the book front, I finished reading Cleopatra this week and finished listening to The Buccaneers, by Edith Wharton.  I had two books on deck to be my next big thing: Wolf Hall or Sarah's Key.  Sloan III's grandmother Margaret threw in a curveball at the last minute, however, by foisting Fall of Giants on me, stating that if I could just read the first few pages, I would be hooked.  As she is about most everything, she was right about this, and I am so sucked into a Welsh mining town and the fates of its inhabitants during the reign of George V that I might have stayed up too late last night.
