Back in the Saddle...

The end is in sight and I'm almost done with my MBA (insert major sigh of relief). So, I'm attempting to get back in the saddle on many fronts. For one, going to the gym has been one of those things that I have attempted to get back into it while getting my MBA but with little success. However, with the light at the end of the tunnel and a buddy to go to the gym with, I am going on 4 weeks of working out 5 days a week. What's more impressive is that I am actually getting up before 6 am to make it to the gym. That, my friends, is what we call a small miracle. I really believed that I had become so accustomed to getting up after 6, that it would be impossible to revert back. But- again, getting back in the saddle has been helping me have the energy to get up and do it- even while traveling on business!

On another note, last night as I was putting Kalee to bed, she told me she was hungry. So I went and grabbed a nutri-grain bar and gave it her. It was strawberry and she was having none of it. We went round and round about how she wanted an apple bar and how we didn't have one. Then she wanted an "fruit" apple and I told her all we had was a green apple. She wanted a red one. And so again, round and round and finally I told her its either a green apple or a strawberry nutrigrain bar. She wanted none of it and so I put her to bed. Fast forward 4 hours as Aprille goes to check on her. She walks in and Kalee is up in her bed. When she asked her what was wrong, she responded that daddy "yelled" at me (not quite how I recalled it). Aprille asked her what she wanted and she said a red apple. So, Aprille walks out and finds a red apple (I really didn't think we had one) and gives it to Kalee. What is the first thing Kalee says when she gets it? "Tell daddy we have red apples." Anyway, she was still pretty upset at me this morning but she eventually warmed up once I apologized about not getting her a red apple.
