5 more minutes please!

twas nap time in the Cunningham house
not a creature was stirring,not even a mouse (ok so maybe the dog needed to go outside)

so....both my girls went down for a nap. it was free time for mommy. what should i do?
sweep and mop the kitchen floor?
sort laundry
do laundry
fold laundry
vacuum living room
wrap presents
clean bathrooms?
take a nap of my own?
catch up on blogs?
clean out the kids toy boxes and donate to goodwill to make room for xmas toys on the way?
go through M's clothes and put away the ones shes outgrown?
oh,the possibilities are endless.....
nap time for both girls is rare,so i needed to take advantage of my time...so much to do and so little time-
so what did i do????

i ran on the TM.
i was trying to be like EMZ!
20 minutes into it,lil M woke up (she fell asleep in her swing in the living room,where i was running)
great,i at least wanted 30 minutes,but would settle for 25..
5 more minutes,mckinnley-pooh!
30minutes in,she was still watching me run,content as she could be...
5 more minutes baby girl!
40 minutes into the run,her binky was spit out but she wasn't fussy...
5 more minutes sweet girl!
55 minutes, she was talking away,jibbering at me and even laughing!
ok,baby girl,let me reach 7 miles and then we will play!
one hour and 3 minutes,i had 7.1 miles under my belt and then it was play time with M.

after play time she was in the front pack,dishwasher loaded,kitchen counters cleaned,laundry sorted,2 loads of laundry done,living room clean,(but not vacuumed).....
talk about feeling productive!

now its on to take a shower and go to my sons xmas party at school (briefly-alex is feeling better but still not 100%)

i feel so much better after that run! i needed that! have been feeling slightly discouraged with my progress lately due to all the gym time I've been missing,so running was a good way to vent off stress!!!

anyways
off to being supermom....
happy Tuesday!
