Just now, I ran 3.01!!! It is a start.....I wanted to push farther, I am very competitive with myself. But when I push, I get myself injured or burnt out. So I stopped at 3 miles.
I am feeling pretty good right now. I think that focusing on me, my relationship with God and with my kids, and my responsibilities as a mom and at work, will help me a lot. Having goals helps me stay focused.
Oh and on an unrelated note I really enjoyed "Bedtime Stories". It was Adam Sandler being cute/funny without being a moron. And the kids enjoyed it, too. No bad words, no big violence, etc. Just fun!
So funny.
As I read this I could almost have written a post like this one that would have pretty well been in alignment with me.
But for a few key deviations. The fact that I have not gotten back on the track (or close to it) for the 1.6 miles. The setting of goals ..don't think that has ever happened in my life ..semi..lol
And my mommy responsibility skill I am setting aside for now ..Ha HA.
The rest could have been basically my post though.
Keep cruisin along and callin upon our Lord of hosts.
You are doin exceptional BBJ and I will pray that the puzzle pieces come together for you just right dear. Project Dan ..day in ..day out! like clock work. he is gonna have his moment with Him!
Kalni, glad I entertained you! When it comes to having family around, that goes under the 'careful what you wish for' category. They are all great but the word 'boundaries' comes to mind...
Tomato, I am running for now and I hope it stays that way...thanks for Project Dan. He is for sure conflicted but I cannot keep helping convince him, he needs to KNOW that he wants me even with the crap that comes along with being married. He keeps trying to walk through one door while looking through the other and guess what, he smacks his head and doesn't like it...
Mishka, I am currently running on the treadmill. I like to run outdoors but not in the winter! Slipped on ice and tore everything in my ankle last Feb and it took 4 months to even try running again...
I will have to see who I missed but that is a brief reply.
Slept late again this morning oops! Oh well it was my last day of vacation so why not I guess.
Off to make breakfast for the kidlets. We are staying home today and cleaning/organizing. They will love it...
Nice analogy on forever smacking his head as he attempts to pass through doorways.
I honestly hope he gets to a door way that gets pissed off of him hitting them and smacks him right back with such supreme force that he is knocked unconscious for a length of time (in scenario-land only of course ..or maybe not)
Pretty cool imagery though of animated, personified doorways ...the start of a screenplay maybe ..LOL.
Then there is this other screenplay that was made into a classic some 60 yrs or more ago ...the line rattles around in my head ..."if I only had a brain" (or at least one that I used on occasion). Hey there Danno ..are yer ears ringing.
So, today was a pretty nice day. Got up, hung out with the kids, took down the tree in their room (they have an all-Disney ornament tree, 4 1/2 foot pre-lit job). Decided to spend the last of our Christmas money from the granparents. Took the kids to the zoo.
Omaha has the best zoo ever. It was only 45 but we went to four indoor exhibits: the aquarium (complete with tunnel to walk through while shark and rays swim overhead); butterfly building (tons of butterflies everywhere, very beautiful and kids loved it); jungle (lots of monkeys and such); insect/bug building (walking through displays of walking sticks, etc but also there were spider webs all over overhead, no barriers, was kind of creepy for me to think they could fall on me!
Anyway we had a great time. Kids got hot dogs and fed the buns to the peacocks.
Then we went to Karate, Nathan had only 2 kids in his class so it was like a private lesson. Cool. Then we went out to eat and just got home. Good times with the kidlets.
Gigi fell asleep on the way home, brother is watching Batman cartoons so I may jump on the treadmill. Hot times around here
Doing some reflecting this evening which is always scary.
I really think Dan is better suited to being single. I know he has had these affairs, but neither has been permanent (that I know of! ) and I know he had drama with the more recent one as she got attached/needy...
I think he would be best off as a bachelor playing with his cows and his kids in his free time. And if he got lonely for a lady, he could go to the strip club or rent a bad movie or just pick somebody up for a meaningless fling. No commitment no NEEDS to take care of...
That sounds terrible. It would be okay for a guy who was single to begin with, if that's what he wanted. But for a married 35 yr old father of two, well, it's disappointing. But still true. I don't think he could be in a successful relationship with anyone, unless they just wanted him when it was convenient for him. Which wouldn't say much about the lady in question...
OK enough time thinking about that. Off to start reading "The Shack" before bed. I heard it is good, it is the first non-'fix your life and/or marriage' book I have picked up in a year...
