I wrote this when the kids were asleep and Blake was at a church meeting.
Surprise
Surprise, I haven’t written much lately even after my post saying I was reasserting myself to write more. I love writing. It is one of my favorite things to do. It’s just tough to do with laundry piles and kids yelling at me. So, I wait and at night I try and I am tired and The Goldbergs is mindless. Writing is not. But I always feel better after writing. Not so much after watching The Goldbergs! Ha. What a day, I ran 4 miles and it was snowing and I just wasn’t feeling it after a week of Spring Break and a few too many treats and a visit from our friend, Barb. I wanted my bed! And hot chocolate and a good food network show. Instead, I went running half heartedly, came back adn picked up Hailey who said she wants to start running with me. Then she said her ankle was hurting but I made her anyway. I gave her the whole shpeel about finishing what you start and reaching goals and blah blah. It turned out fine, but I am still bugged that I didn’t kick butt on my run. And besides that, I was still tired most of the day from the long run. Winter can end now! I never write five minute posts that turn into rants (I don’t think), but I am kind of tired! I love my kids and our time together but has anyone else noticed that attempting to exhaust kids will exhaust mom too?? So, surprise, I am not going to end with any great words of wisdom or commitments to do better. I am going to end on I made cookies with Brooke, went on a lunch date with Spencer, played with William and ran with Hailey. And we made a salt dough resurrection tomb for Easter. And I only had one dr pepper today. And I ran 4 miles. So, there you have it. I guess my day wasn’t such a failure after all. PS. I do have a husband that I talked to today too. Yes, he is my number 1.

Real life! Thanks for sharing and keeping it real. May you find time to write something each day, even if it is only for five minutes. It helps me keep my sanity when I do that. Peace and blessings to you- Stopping by from FMF
