Zonked!

A couple of years ago, I instituted an afternoon break for myself, usually involving coffee and putting my feet up. It's become a (mostly) non-negotiable part of my day. I push myself hard most days and it's good to take a load off for a half-hour to an hour in the afternoon, and recaffeinate.

Today, I missed my break, because the boys had been invited to a birthday party a couple of towns away. It was a great party, and I even had some coffee en route, but tonight, I feel like I've been doing push-ups and lunges all day long, instead of just during my workout this morning.

The party was lovely -- held at the Weymouth Club, facilitated by staff there, and there were lots of other parents around to help. The preschool guests were generally very well-behaved, and enjoyed themselves a lot as they played traditional gym class kinds of games. They rode on scooters and played basketball, T-ball, red light/green light and duck, duck goose. All I did was stand there and watch them. Oh, and eat a piece each of pizza and birthday cake.

A great time was had by all, but I'm glad to be sitting down now. Better late than never.
