Motherhood should be listed as a mental illness

Working out when to work out

So I haven't worked out since Friday. My biggest problem being the fact that I don't want to lug my kids to the Y more than I already am. We're there twice a week for swimming lessons and I have yoga on Wednesdays (Pat is supposed to be watching them when I'm at yoga but he's got jury duty this week- more on that later). If I take them with me on yoga days I use up all my child watch time with the class, therefore no workout. If they stay home with Pat then I have to shower and get home asap so he can get to work. That leaves Mondays, Fridays, or before swim class (I refuse to go on weekends or after 5), none of them are really that great. Going before class would be my pick but child watch is always full at that time. I guess I'm going to drag them to the Y one more day a week. The worst part is that I'm feeling really motivated to work out and feel better, I just don't know how to work it in with everything else I have to do.

So Patrick has jury duty this week. Mr. Opinionated actually got picked. Here's the crappy part. His job is 100% commission, that means no sick days, holidays etc. No work, no money. He talked to his supervision (Jason) and he told Pat that he would have the appointment setters start his appointments after 5 and they would keep him in the area where his jury duty is. Jason forgot to tell them so when he got his appointment schedule today it had his appointments a 3, 4, 5 and 6 in Camden. It takes an hour and a half to get to Camden from Lebanon during rush hour. Pat has decided to look for a new job, so if you hear of anything let us know.
