Happy Easter!

Easter Sunday....hmmmm...I came off a 24 hour OB call at 7am this morning. I put in a few epidurals in the morning hours....which is okay. Hey I get paid to work, not to sleep. Problem is that I was a bit sleepy this morning. Went to breakfast with the family that was +2 kids, because my brother in law was bike riding with friends in Yellowstone. It was great having an extra set of hands to deal with kids, but made me wonder how people do it, meaning stay sane with 5 kids. Not to mention going out to eat gets a little bit more expensive. Anyway it was a good morning. Breakfast followed by an easter egg hunt and then 4 hours of sleep for me. I have to say that I am amazing....in the sense that I can sleep anytime and anywhere. The sun was shining in the bedroom, kids were playing and yelling....and I was in dreamland. Hit REM sleep fast and was having vivid dreams about being in the ARMY....weird? I guess a bomb could have gone off in my room because I was dead asleep, not to mention I was dreaming being in the ARMY.

Yes, I was in the ARMY, but it has been a couple of years since I have drilled or did 2 week summer training. Don't know why I was dreaming about ARMY? It was pretty cool because we were training in obstacle courses, jumping from helicopters and setting up ORs in the field. It was training, but not the type that I have been doing.

Anyway, spent the afternoon with the kids and enjoyed every minute of it. We did a picnic dinner at the park and watched them play on the play set. My husband and I chased them on the play set and had fun laughing. What a great day and it was beautiful. I am so happy that it is getting warmer. I am looking forward to biking and running more outside. In addition, I need to start some open water swims. There are a couple of places in town that will work well. Still need to get a wetsuit....hey then you can water me down and send me to Sea World....little humor.

Happy Easter to you and your families. Hope you didn't eat too much sugar, back to the training diet tomorrow.....

Gonna go watch my tivo'd Clearwater 70.3 IM from November 2008....hopefully it will inspire me to wanna train harder or make me realize that I am totally over my head. Probably train harder because...

Failure is not an Option!
