Why is it so dang hard to get to go to the gym? It was sooo easy with James. He took a nap early in the morning and we went after his nap. Hannah doesn't have a nap schedule so we fit going to the gym before her nap. We have been going earlier and earlier to accommodate her naps. However today blew up in my face. The four of us left for the gym at 10:00 a little later than I had hoped to leave. We get there, check in and Hannah starts to cry when we hand her over. Then she is fine, so we leave to work out. I managed to go pee and turn on my ipod and here comes one of the girls "Hannah's really upset". Ok I leave most of my things on the treadmill to go check on her. She was crying with snot and everything. They tell me "I think she is sick." I inform them she is not. I took her yesterday and they told me its nothing. So then I think well I will got tell Jerry Hannah is not good and we will leave. "you can't take her out with out checking her out." Ok I leave her there and go talk to Jerry. When I go back she is fine, until she sees me. So I try to just check her out. "Ok, fine, but you can't leave the gym." All because I signed the sheet and not Jerry. So I suggest I just wait in the room with her. "We have rules you can only be in her for 5 minutes". So I am like what in the world am I supposed to do. James has only been playing for 20 minutes now, he doesn't want to leave. Jerry hasn't gotten a work out in. I can't wait in here, I can't leave, what do you want me to do? So I ask can Jerry sign in for James? "No because it would be like signing him in and out and the kids can only come once a day." So the end result is me sitting in the lobby with Hannah checked out, James checked in and playing and Jerry getting a work out. That lasts 10 minutes. I get Jerry's attention and he thinks I should work out and he should take Hannah. But I am a little too pissed off now to want to be in the gym any longer. So I tell him we are both leaving. So Jerry lets me go and get James who does not want to leave. James is screaming, Jerry is apologizing to the girls and I am just getting out of there. Then I get into trouble for not being nice to the stupid babysitting girls. Well I haven't gotten much sleep lately and I was really looking forward to working out, I had some girls basically tell me that any solution I came up with wont work, I didn't get to run at all and I paid $2 for Hannah to be in there for not even 10 minutes. So I am a little mad. Should I kiss some babysitting ass? NO. I should just leave with my screaming toddler. Who when we get home tells me No home, No home. I agree James, I don't want to be home either. I guess we will have to go at like 8:30 or so in the morning which will be tricky. Hannah was up at 7:00 and James was up at 8:00 because he didn't nap yesterday. So I will stuff James with food and go to the gym. Wow.
When will I ever get my routine back? All I want is to spend 30 minutes running on a treadmill with someone else watching my kids. Life with 2 can be very challenging.

I miss Esperanza like crazy too!!! It's half the reason I haven't been going to the gym. I'm thinking of going Monday or Tuesday around 9, though. xoxo
