Wasn't Gonna Do It!!!

Last night was a horrible night's sleep. I maybe got about 4 hours. I went to the gym at 9:15 to teach my bootcamp class and it was already 96 degrees. My original plan was to take my kids to my mom's pool, but my sister insisted we go to the beach. I LOVE the beach, but when you are tired, taking 5 boys to the beach is not an easy task. Even when you have the best night's sleep it isn't an easy task. Anyways, between my sister and my mom, they made me do it. I got home, loaded up the car, did the worst sun tan lotion job on the kids, and headed for Zuma. Let me tell you, it was AMAZING!!! The water was a little crazy with all of the rip tides, but that did not matter. It was in the high 70's with a very light breeze. A great first beach day for the summer. KC was hilarious. He did not take a nap all day, and when he gets tired he gets crazier than normal. I know this is a big surprise, but I am not that great Mom that gets up and plays with her kids all day. My goal is to really never have to get out of my chair. Unfortunately, KC discovered the water and I had to stand with him for a good part of the day. Not only did I have to stand with him, the water was really strong so I had to hold onto him everytime the waves crashed.....but it was a good upper body workout. Anyways, he had sand in about every crevice of his body and was so happy about it. I think that kid swallowed half the sand on the beach......not looking forward to the diapers tomorrow! I forgot my camera, so I don't have any pictures, but he had a sand goatee, and he looked very cute. He didn't cry once all day, actually, none of the kids did. Everyone got along perfectly, and that is rare! So, here is the very sad part.....James had baseball practice at 5:30, and I had to teach Turbo at 6:15, so we had to leave by 4:30. Nothing is worse than leaving the beach early on a perfect beach day! My annoying sister did not leave until 7:00......I hate her (In a very nice way, but I told her I hate her for that, and she doesn't care). Now, it is 10:00, I am exhausted, and I am waiting for the towels to get out of the dryer, because we are waking up at 5:30 to take the boat out on the lake! I am desperately trying to find a sub for my 4:00 class, so we don't have to leave early!!!
