The Ketchup Bloodbath
Things have been really busy here. My grandmother passed and so we had to make a couple of trips to see her. The boys are full on into their spring fever mode. I have noticed that every spring the kids go into big time sensory seeking behavior. Last year, I had the flu (I had never been so sick in my life) and Tremendo flooded the kitchen and dining area with the sink spray while Kamikaze and Sweet Coco played in the water.

Sometimes my kids get really unruly during that time and I come out of my workout to confront some mess that’s been made in my absence. My plan to address this is to make index cards of the workouts so that I don’t have to be in front of the computer to do them. This way I can do the free weights in the same room as my children and not have to worry about any surprises. […]
