(This is not stating the obvious, having a husband who worked 'normal' hours which would give you an opportunity to work out before kids were even awake- it's hard to even grasp that thought.)
Perfect: Have a nanny to stay with kids while I go to plush gym and workout and get ready.
Good: Have a nice gym to work out and have my kids be happy playing in the daycare.
OK: Decent gym, kids maybe a little sad but will calm down after 2-3 minutes.
My Life: Nice gym, Alyssa great, Nate freak out and scream for 20 min or until they come get me and once I am there he is fine to be there, I try to leave again- scream like someone is chopping off his arm.
All of my kids have hated gym daycare. My boy should not be the same! Some days he is fine and others he acts like former story. So what makes it or breaks it- who knows? I sure would love to, cause it makes me so mad. My kids are usually fine going to nursery at church or staying with people at their homes but gym daycare has always set them off. It takes so much effort to go and then to not be able to work-out it drives me crazy!
There has got to be a book out there to help, there is a child-help book for everything isn't there?!
Regrets! We all have them don't we? Does anyone else think about theirs? I think about losing Andrew and wonder if we had a better/different doctor, if I had noticed something earlier, on and on. These big things I have the attitude that they were suppose to happen to you for your life experiences and trials and learning. I accept that, that is why I don't dwell on these things and was able to deal with our loss.
But what about things that don't really matter in the big picture? Do you think about these regrets as well? I do. I had the great idea to make a little scrapbook for our first house and have it be like a guest book, cause I knew we would have fun visitors living so close to Nauvoo and being here at the University of Iowa. But I didn't get it done, or even started and now I really wish I would have done it and it is too late. We have had family, friends, friends of friends, parents of friends, etc, etc, all stay at our home. It would be so fun to look back at the pictures (I was planning to take) and remember everyone who has stayed here. If I would have only...
Anyway, enough of my rambling! Hope you have a great weekend!

Kasey emailed me today--thank you for sending her my address :)
Yes, I think about my regrets too--I guess they're good motivation for the future :)
Yah...I REGRET answering my cell phone while I was already frantically trying to hurry/drive and find a parking space in my big Suburban...all right before I rammed a car next to me in the parking lot!! :(
It changed my whole way of parking, now, though. I always park FAR away where there are no "neighbors" - and ignore the cell during those times!
You can still make your scrapbook - don't you have 2 more years there?
I have no Gym Day Care solutions...coming from someone who was BANNED from it thanks to my kid!!
Regrets....plenty! But I agree that things happen, whether ours or someone else's...but they are all chances to learn.
I was watching Oprah, who had Elizabeth Smart on, and she is just remarkable. For whatever reason, is so well adjusted and moving forward with her life.
If only I could take things that happen, although not nearly as serious, and make lemonade out of the lemons.
And another I know it's a very personal situation, I would love to hear about Andrew and the circumstances around that life changing event.
Love your "ramblings". I need to write stuff like this more. Also...don't stress about not getting that memory book or other things done...heck, I still haven't take Clayton to get a decent picture taken, still no announcements, and still working on some thank yous from months ago! The way I see it, your ahead of most of us anyway!
Regrets? I still think about things I did in High school (only ONCE in a while but still...) I have so many regrets, I mean I went to beauty school - just think of all those poor unsuspecting people I "learned" on!
Isaac has the same problem at our gym - I can leave him anywhere except there. What GIVES - if you find the answer please tell me please. I HATE getting there, just starting my workout only to have my name called on the intercom to come get my screaming kid. why?
The solution: Go ever single day 5days a week and don't plan on working out. I had to do this with each of my children. With Lindsey and Luke it took them about 4 months before I could work out for 45 min to an hour. Stay with them in the day care for about 3-4 weeks. Slowly start leaving. 10 min one day, 15 the next, so on and so on. They have to get use to it. I know it is frustrating but it is worth it.
Regrets: I have a few but not many. I don't expect a lot out of myself, so I really don't get dissapointed with things not getting accomplished. My day to day worry is raising my kids to follow our Savior's plan and being righteous examples to all around them. I think this is what ages me faster than anything else.
I hope you are having a great weekend too!
That's some great insight. Sometimes our rambling thoughts are pretty insightful.
Yes...I have a blog....glad you found me! I sympathize with you and the work out thing! It's not easy when your husband leaves for work at 4:30 in the morning! It would also help if our gym had a daycare...but it doesn't! Regrets, we all have them, don't we. I think it is just part of human nature. I think how you handle them shows what kind of a person you are. Anyways....glad you found me! Hope all is going well!
You have such an open house. Thanks for hosting us and letting Steve stay there too. You'll always have friends coming to stay with you wherever you go because you are too dang fun, so I say start one now or with the next home.
