Sick Day

I haven't had time lately to post, with school and all. But today, I was able to justify taking sick time from work, what with Luann, Kiwi and Mr S all sick with a cough. It was nice to be able to just play with the kids and do things around the house. Yes, I still did a few things for work, and worked on my group project, but mostly helped out around the house.

I got my exercise in today by walking with Kiwi and Mr. S to pick G-man up from school, letting Luann get a much-needed nap in. It is about 1.5 miles round trip, so a good amount of walking. The best part is that my arms got a great work-out, as I was the only one walking. Luann has done this a few times, with Kiwi, Mr. S and G-man all in the stroller, and this time I got to push them all. Luann and I did the calculations, and it seems I was pushing nearly 100 pound of dead weight, once you add in the snacks and water. The stroller just really wasn't designed for that kind of task, and I don't know how many more it can survive.
