An irritating woman, a new love in my life and disaster in the kitchen

Today I wasn't able to go for a run as I started work at 10am, so once I'd done the school run and walked the dog, I had to leave for work. Well, that started me off in a bad mood, topped with the fact that I had to work with a bossy ignorant woman who, for the last couple of shifts has been on my case. Well, today I blew. Bearing in mind, I work in a children's nursery, this was not good.
Lesson learned? Maybe I need my morning run? Maybe the cow deserved it? Maybe I was just snappy through lack of sleep worrying about my sister since friday? Who knows?

After I finished work, I headed off to the hospital to see my sister and my new baby nephew. He arrived at 3:08am this morning, weighing 8lb 8oz, and after a difficult couple of days and a complicated labour, I think my sis was relieved to see me. I tell you, I've not felt anything like it before when I picked him up! (I probably did when I first held mine, but I really can't remember it that well) I instantly fell in love!!! He's absolutely beautiful and perfect in every way. I'm not ashamed to say, I cried.

So, once back at home, I cooked the kid's dinners and got ready for my Bootcamp class. The four of us went. John went for a 25min run and the kids played in the play area behind where I do my workout. Very sweaty. I think I need a headband. Not attractive at all, having beads of sweat dripping off the end of your nose!
So, got in and cooked my dinner. Well.......kind of destroyed my dinner. It was a kind of coconut milk/rice/ peanut butter concoction that burnt and stuck to the pan and split into a consistancy resembling vomit! That's still in the pan, in the kitchen awaiting it's fate as it looks so vile, I think I'll just dump the contents and the pan in the bin. My second attempt was far more sucessful, and the recipe (if you can call throwing stuff in a pan and crossing your fingers, a "recipe") is on my Facebook page if you feel the urge!

So, now to drink my chamomile and valerian tea and off to bed. Night all, I'm shattered.
