3ft woke up fever free and went to school today. He begged and pleaded and against my better judgment I let him. Of course, when he came home, he had a low grade fever again but he's in high spirits because he got to go to school and see his friends. It's been as hard for him if not harder as it's been for me being cooped up in the house for nearly a week. The Grumpybutt was beyond excited to be out walking this morning. We've all been pretty miserable.
To celebrate my freedom of the snotty boy child, 3ft, I went on a 7 mile walk OUTSIDE! And better still, I forced my friend, Riana, to go with me. Now before you even start to feel sorry for her "forced" march, it's her fault it ended up being 7 miles.
I said: Let's walk to Safeway. I need a couple things.
She said: Let's walk to Richard's (it's a craft store here in Livermore) instead. I need some red dye and pearl dust for the McQueen cake I'm making.
So we walked and for the record, Richard's is further than Safeway. Then when we got to Richard's at 9 am they weren't open yet so we walked to Target which is further still. Then back to Richard's and then we still ended up going through Safeway before going home. It was all her fault. But it was a lot of fun!
So because of that happy little liberated jaunt I've already passed 10,000 steps for today.
Total steps today (so far): 18,825 (as of 2:49 pm)

It sounds awesome! (One might think I mean the Target part... and that's partially true... but I do mean the walking part.) I'm so ready for spring!
ReplyDeleteJanna -- I'm with you. I heart Target.
ReplyDeleteWhen she said, "Let's kill time at Target."
I was all "WOOHOO" inside.
Yay for healthy tykes and Yay for walking! You go girl!
