The best laid plans

Ugh, never seems to fail, I have exercise all laid out and the day gets shot to heck.  My plan was to get the kiddos off to school and do my new 4 week fitness makeover workout and then Dh was supposed to get up and we had to make a run to Northern Indiana for some parts for a couple of tractors.  Normally DH wouldn't be awake until 9am or after so I had plenty of time in my 'plan'.  Ha!  DH couldn't sleep this morning (he works nights) so he came out to see if I was ready to go earlier when I wasn't even 1/4 of the way through my workout.  GRRRR!!

Sigh.  But I needed some things too and with gas prices and not knowing how stable his job is right now we don't make any unnecessary trips, so I stopped the workout and grabbed a quick shower and off we went.  We were gone by 8:30 and didn't get back until after 2pm, it's nearly a 2 hour drive one way to the place we had to get parts from.  So, by the time I rush around and get him a lunch made to take to work and he left it was nearly time for the kiddos to get home and I didn't have time to squeeze that workout in like I had 're-planned' when my first 'plan' fell apart.  Bah. 

But.....all was not lost   We have had beautiful, warm, sunny weather the past two days.  So when the kids hopped off the bus I was already outside doing some more cleaning of flower beds.  I went in the garage and grabbed four badminton rackets and a bunch of birdies and we all went out back.  We had a BLAST!!  No net up yet or anything, we were just bopping the birdie around and it was hilarious because the wind was really strong this afternoon and the birdie was so not going where anyone aimed it LOL  Took a LOT of extra running just to even get near the birdie.  Wasn't a lot of volleying back and forth, but definitely a ton of running and laughing.  My stomach actually hurts we had so many laughing fits   We ended up playing a kind of modified keep away because my younest (DD, 5 yo) wanted to play but can't quite manage the racket yet LOL  So we'd try to keep her from getting the birdie as long as we could and let me tell you, she may be small but she is FAST!! ROFL 

So, I didn't get my 'planned' workout in.  But I did get a workout in after all :)  So, tomorrow, for sure, no matter what I WILL do my dvd I intended to do today LOL  It may even be better this way giving my muscles an extra day of rest.  My legs are still a little.....eh, I can't say sore by any means, but I can tell they've been worked, which is a good feeling :)
