Confessions
I have not ran in a while...
Healthy eating is not really happening this month
Sydney is a little grouchy tonight
Greg has a stomach virus

So feeling kind of bummed out tonight. What happens when you loose your steam? How do you loose interest in things that were so important to you a month ago? What is next? I have figured out that I thrive from having something to look forward to or something to plan. As of now I can't say that I have any of those things. Knowing that God answers prayers in His time and in His way is comforting. Just gotta keep going til the time and way present themselves. I guess everyone goes through a bummed out time every now and then.
Possible solutions:
Run and sweat it out-take running clothes to work and put them on before I leave
Stop eating cafeteria food
Get myself out of bed earlier so I can make my lunch (it does not happen the night before anymore)
Enjoy the blessings of today, they really are all we have got, the future only exists inside my pea brain
Call my brother and sister more often, I have not seen the bro since Christmas.
I know I am rambling tonight, but this is what was needed.

Thursday, April 8, 2010

Thursday already? This is a good thing because I have a fun weekend ahead. Sydney will be two years old on Sunday. We are celebrating with a Barney birthday! I am blogging on the bathroom floor right now trying to convince Sydney that bathtub water is not for her to drink.
This has been a very busy Spring. Before Easter we were looking at rabbits outside of the feed store when a young guy walked up with a rabbit in a box that he told me I could have and about 10 seconds later he was gone. He was determined to ditch that Easter bunny. So total count now 1 husband, 2 kids, 3 dogs, 4 chickens, and 1 "stray" rabbit. I also saw a very cute young goat the other day...hummm, NO, just kidding. Good Friday is the day that people in the south plant their gardens. In keeping with that tradition I now have planted, peppers of all kinds, eggplants, cucumbers and a few tomatoes. I am waiting on the right kind of tomato plant. See when almost everyone you know plants a garden the actual plants can be hard to find.
I am slowly getting back in the running habit. There is a 10k in May close to my home. I am hoping to be able to run that one. When there is a race in my area I really want to try and run in it since co many of them are more than an hour away from my house. I am going to try and work on my speed and slowly build up to running 6.2 miles again. The 10k back in Feb. was a trial to see if I could go the distance. Now that I know I can I would like to be able to finish with a little better time. Time to go. I think that Sydney has turned in to a prune.
