...for 2 damn months with 3 bad ass kids!!! What the hell was he thinking. Hello...I am the same lady who will sleep through a kid crying at night. Ummm...are you sure it was a good idea to leave them with me for 2 DAMN MONTHS?!?!? Let's just get over the fact that I have to take care of kids. I can so do that...I think. Here is the jacked up part. I have to take care of my damn self.
Serious...I dont' think he thought this thru all the way. I am no responsible for me. I actually have to get up when the alarm goes off. I can't wait for Charles to come back 10 minutes later and force me up. I have to iron my own damn clothes (I see wrinkles in my future), I even have to do the damn laundry. KILL ME NOW!!!
He has only been gone 2 days and I am counting down until his return. Somebody needs to come take care of these kids. If not...I see an industrial sized bottle of Benedryl in their future. I'm just saying...they have allergies (hehehe).
So I haven't done any organized exercise since Friday. However, Saturday I was so gosh darn busy I didn't stop going until I went to bed at 2 a.m. Then I was back up at 4:30 a.m. Sunday morning to take him to the airport. Of course I couldn't sleep when I got home...so I was up the rest of the day. I cleaned my entire house, did the kids laundry. Folded and put away their laundry. I even matched the damn socks together instead of throwing them in the trash like I normally do. I cooked dinner then bathed 3 squirmy kids. I finally sat down at 9:45 p.m. I tried sleep that night. It didn't come on until way after 2 a.m. Charles gave me a wake up call at 5:30 a.m. Yup I actually asked him to call me and wake me up. How else am I supposed to do it.
Next up...
Charles put up my speed bag apparatus before he left. I plan on putting it to use tonight. I can't wait. I really like to punch things. I wouldn't mine punching a few people...but that is illegal. And let's face it...I'm too damn pretty to go to jail. I am not trying to be Big Bertha's bitch. Nope.
I'm concerned about my exercise while he is gone. I'm not sure if my mom is going to keep the kids longer so that I can attend Zumba classes during the week. We will see, but I have a strong suspicion the answer will be a big hell nah. I will figure something out...because I have a new challenge coming up. LOL
So remember awhile back when Leslie created her 5/50 challenge? Well I'm taking a page from her list and creating the 2/20 challenge. Two months to lose 20 lbs. I picked this time and weight, because that is how long Charles will be gone. I want to look even better when he gets back. I am determined to get in a new decade or two weight wise. I only have to worry about the food my mom and I consume.
I'm committed to working out and eating better. I doubt I will have any huge weight loss numbers to report win my 1 year bandiversary rolls around, but I'm happy with my success so far. I look forward to many more successful days of shedding the pounds.

I don't envy you in the least! I can't even manage my own two for 24 hrs without needing a bottle of my own benedryl!
How dare he leave you. What was he thinking?? You can totally do the 2/20 challenge. I love it!!
My husband is leaving me for a weekend in 2 weeks and I thought that was bad. I normally push the kids on him but 2 months????? I couldn't imagine. Good Luck! You can definitely do the 2/20. Just run behind the kids.
My goodness, it sounds like a fun time at your house.I don't know how you women do it. I'm child free and life is still hectic enough.
You go for that 2/20 and you hit it hard. Let Charles come back to 3 smiling children and an even svelter, sexier wife. He will be in awe. :)
I love your 2/20 Challenge! You can totally do it. :)
LOL! If I was closer, I'd come help you! Do you have a Wii? I can send you my Wii Zumba game if you want to use it while Charles is gone. I really don't know how you do all that you do! I'm super proud of you and then on top of everything creating a challenge for yourself?!? Good for you!
You can do this! Parenting is always easier with two active participants, but many single folks manage just fine, thank you very much. Don't skimp on the exercise either. I bet those little ones would enjoy a nice walk in the evenings or how about a family bike ride? Get creative and stay active. Maybe Mom will watch the kids for Zumba once a week and you can come up with other ideas for the other days. Exercise will help with your stress level, sleep and weight loss!
You will rock your challenge!
As for the hubs being gone and being totally in charge on your own, take it day by day or hour by hour or even minute by minute if you have to. It will all be all right. No worries!
Yikes! Good luck, girlie. I can't imagine being a mom, much less one without help! I can't wait to hear how your punching session goes.
Oh, and Bertha would so be saying "Yes, ma'am, Miss Dawnya." I know that! But stay out of jail anyway!!
2/20 challenge, love it. Totally doable! :)
I'd totally be over helping you if you were closer!
Wooo!!! Dawnya, chica you have your hands full. You can totally do this, what you may need to do about your alarm though is put it across the room so you have to get up to turn it off. Then just resist the siren song of the pillows and sheets to come back! You are super woman and I know you can do this!
What is the man thinking of leaving you at home for two months! Mercy me! You're going to get through this - one day at a time, one hour at a time, one minute at a time - and he had BETTER bring you some special, preferably something sparkly!
You are for sure to pretty for jail! But don't worry, I'll bail you out if it comes to that!
I rely on my husband way to much too. He slept in this morning, and didn't make me my protein shake for breakfast before I left for work. You know what I ended up having? An ice cream sandwhich! shhhh.....don't tell anyone! How shameful is that?!
You can totally be even HOTTER than you already are by the time Charles gets back!
Stay strong lovely lady! It is tough on your own even for a day, but I know you are strong.
You can do 2/20 - I know it!
You can DOOOO it!
Omgoodness!!! If I was closer I would come help with the kids. I love babies...I have a 3.5 yr old future step son but don't have him all the time so I can only imagine! I am going to start Zumba this week!!! I need a work out buddy.
Good luck!!!!
