OY VEY - I was going to get my workout in no matter what! I decided to go to the West Hollywood 24 Hour Fitness, they had a Bodypump class at 6:30pm, I took Eli Tzvi and Ziona Sofia with me.
And then the "FUN" began, at first it was great, got a good parking spot, got the kids inside, but since it was their first time there, I had to fill out a lot of paperwork. I remembered to ask for a pass for the class to make sure there would be equipment for me, it fills up so fast, if you don't get a pass there is no room. I noticed it was 6:25pm, and realized I forgot my Driver's License in my car, I needed it to show to the Kids Club before I left the kids. I get back from the car with my License and the girl tells me Ziona Sofia pooped. GREAT! I ran out of my house so fast, I didn't take any diapers for her. For my baby I always have a bag, but I guess for Ziona Sofia, even though she is still in diapers, I think of her as a big girl already.
I had no diapers, and the girl tells me that there is a CVS down the street, just for the record it was way down the street, so I put my thinking cap on and decided to find a mom with a kid and ask for a diaper, why would I buy a whole pack? So I am in West Hollywood right, not a lot of kids in that part of town :) I see a mom walk into the gym with a girl who is obviously potty trained, but decide to ask anyway - no luck - Alas, I see a Trader Joe's, and I figured more than any other place, there had to be a mom with a kid in there. On my way to the store I see a mom with a kids in a stroller, I tell her I need a diaper, and she tells me her kid is trained already.
So I get inside the store, I see a lady with two kids in a wagon, she speaks no English, she is obviously their nanny, I explain my situation, and she thinks I am looking for a babysitter, I ask where the mother is, and she gives me a blank stare. I give up on her and head towards the cashier and see a mom checking out with two little kids, I run up to her and say. "This is a little crazy, but I am trying to workout, I forgot the diapers for my daughter who pooped, do you have a diaper?" She was the sweetest thing, she told me she knew exactly what I was going through, and gave me her two last diapers, they were a size 5, just what my daughter wears.
I jaywalk, running across the street with two diapers, run into the club, of course I have no wipes, luckily there is a bathroom in the kids club, was her tush, put it on, and run towards the class. I really did not want to miss the squats, and get all excited when I see they just started that workout, the class always starts with a full body warm up first. I run in, and low and behold, there are no bars left! This is a free weight class where you need a bar, and you put whatever weight you need for the bar. I guess someone snuck into the class, cuz I got a pass in advance, so luckily there were free weights, but no room anywhere in the class, so I just stayed where the equipment was, grabbed some free weights, and jumped right into squats with the rest of the class.
The rest of the class was great, for the last part of the workout, someone left early, and I got to use her bar and do the lunges and jump squats, it felt awesome. Then I look at my phone, my husband calls telling me the baby is crying and I need to get home ASAP. OY VEY - I grab the kids, we run home, and my poor baby is still congested, so I barely slept last night.
Now getting kids ready for camp, and baby and I headed to the Hot Mama Power Walk, hopefully the fresh air and sunshine will make him feel better :)
