Busy week almost over

It`s Thursday here and while I only have 5 classes, they`re spread out from 10am until 8:30pm with a couple of long breaks in the middle. It makes for a long day. I try to do some housework or dinner prep in between classes, but it doesn`t always happen.

This morning I had a trial lesson for my mom & baby class and they decided to join! So my day started off great! After that I went to Curves and got my workout in for the day which always feels good. This afternoon I have 2 kindergarten classes from 2:30 - 4:30 then I have a 2 hour break before 2 more lessons.

Tomorrow is going to be a long day too. YMCA class from 9-2; Curves at 3:00 then class from 5:30-7:30. Saturday is the class Christmas party in the morning and dinner party with moms at night. Sunday is the YMCA Charity Run which will be over by around noon. So needless to say, I`m really ready for Sunday at noon to be here!

2 weeks from now I`ll be in the air somewhere over the Pacific! I can`t wait to see my mom, dad, sisters, niece, nephews and maybe new niece. My sister isn`t due until January 11, but it`s looking like she`ll be here this month sometime! I love being an aunt and spoiling all those kids!

45 minutes until I have to be back to class so I better get moving. I need to wash dishes. I think there`s no other chore that I despise more! It`s a tossup between washing dishes and doing laundry. Honestly I don`t like cleaning at all. I should ask my husband for a house cleaner for Christmas!

This week`s goals

Goal #1 - run It`s Monday morning here and I`ve got my first run of the week done! My goal is to get out and run everyday this week M-F and maybe on Saturday too. From Saturday I`m going on a 2 night camping trip with 14 students from the English conversation school where I work. I`m hoping it will be fun, but who knows... This morning I set my alarm for 6:00 to get out and run before Koichi woke up, but that didn`t happen. I ended up getting out of bed around 7:40. I made breakfast so Koichi could eat and then I packed his lunch while snacking on the watermelon that wouldn`t fit in his lunch box. I considered not running since it was already after 8:00. but I decided to just get out there and do it and now I`m glad I did! Goal #2 - eat healthy meals & track food About to make some breakfast now. I`m thinking I`ll make a green smoothie and have 1/4 of an avocado and some sliced tomatoes on the side, may even throw in an egg. Lunch will most likely be chicken taqu...

TGIF

I love Fridays! Thursdays are pretty long for me and I have a few tough classes and then on Friday I have a really easy day with good kids and almost the entire day free. Plus, the weekend is near! Yesterday I was lucky to finish at 4:30 in the afternoon. I had to do some shopping for our upcoming camping trip so I texted my friend Kazuko to see if I could drop by her place. She said yes and I picked up some take out curry and headed over. We had dinner and talked and I played with her kids who are so adorable. It was a nice break from the kids I get to see everyday! I needed to get away from my everyday routine so it was a good visit. Here`s what I`ve got going on today: 1) fold and put away laundry (I`m bad about folding and leaving!) 2) clean kitchen and dining room table 3) Swiffer floors because they`re gritty with volcanic ash 4) exercise at 9:00 (that will make 3 days in a row) 5) Face Time with my sister!! I love planning things to do on the weekends. So far this wee...

Headache -> Cancelled plans

I was supposed to have friends over for a 鍋 (hot-pot) party tonight. I`d invited Kazuko`s family and Miki`s family and we were all looking forward to a fun evening eating, drinking, talking and laughing. Unfortunately I have had a headache since yesterday evening so my plans were cancelled. I thought it would be better when I woke up this morning, but it wasn`t. I went to work at 9:00 for a lesson and thought some coffee would help, but it didn`t. After work I decided to suck it up and go to the gym to work out thinking the exercise would clear my head and take the pain away, but it didn`t. After I came home I discussed with Koichi that I would take some medicine and if my head was still hurting around 3:00pm that I would contact both friends and cancel the evening. Around that time I got a message from Kazuko that her son had a runny nose and that he and her husband would stay home because she didn`t want his germs to spread to Miki`s 8 month old baby. So I made the decision then to g...
