Pablo and Fernando.<\/p>\n

This is how my boys sleep during the day–piled on top of one another on the leather sofa back. It’s always Pablo on top–Big bro Fernando doesn’t seem to mind. Although, Pablo (Old Boston Bull Dog) is already taller than our pug Fernando and will be heavier soon too.<\/p>\n

I had to post these pics as the love these boys have for one another makes my heart sing. Fernando was \u00a0a lonely only-dog for the first three years of his life and I feel so blessed that he now has regular dog company.<\/p>\n

Danced perhaps my most gruelling line up ever last night. Realized at the end of it that I hadn’t included any slow, easier type songs–all of them were hard core cardio. I was so pooped, could barely touch my supper once home at 8 pm.
This was followed by an odd night in bed full of tossing and turning. I ached all over and was itchy too. I had a diet coke to get me pumped after my kids Zumba class and before I arrived at the Uni for my next class. It always makes my skin crawl but it is such a great pick-me-up that can’t say no to it (when I need a boost).
Tonight I start my first class across the lake at World gym. Excited because it’s my first official time teaching at a “gym.” Taking it easy today to rest up my aching limbs for tonight. Today I’ll write, walk the dogs, make supper and take my gals to piano lessons.<\/p>\n

This weekend was a turning point for me as a mom. I realized that my two oldest daughters are now at ages that make coordinating family sports day difficult. Skiing was a bust and then skating too. I had a wee melt down in the vehicle after all my plans fell apart.
What I’ll do in the future is plan family sport days for just the Pip (kindergarten daughter) and I. Tabs, Mist and Peter can then join us if they wish. If I try to get the rest of them ready to go and pumped for the activity–I burn myself out in negative criticisms from the big gals and their dad. So, it’s Pip and I from here on out that I plan for–the rest are free to come or not.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
