I just needed to write

I just wanted to write about the past couple of days...nothing terribly profound. I had a rough one yesterday with the kids that involved some interesting facebook posts, plus some curse words directed at them. I woke up very humbled this morning. I do have wonderful children, but somedays they should not be left alone with me, nor should we even be near one another.

Today was better as far as the kids are concerned. I watched my tongue and blood pressure. Andrew and I made it to the Rec Center for a swim. He agreed to go to child care for me so I could get my workout done, then he would join me afterwards. We made it to the parking lot and a very kind gentleman pointed out that my front tire was hissing and losing air very quickly (keeping in mind it's only 10 degrees outside). He offered to change my tire but I insisted "no". So, I called my husband and he took care of it for me while Andrew and I went about our plan. I am such a fortunate soul to be married to such a generous, capable man.

We had a great swim, grabbed McD's for lunch, had rest time, then Eric informed me at 2 P.M. that he needed to leave for the airport at 2:15 to fly to Connecticut. Poor guy. The minute he told me all of the weekend plans flashed through my head. Workouts? Hmmm. Book club? Hmmm.

I am reminded that there are no guarantees when it comes to this training thing. I have to do the best with what I have and trust that the rest will follow. It's tricky sometimes resting in that. I feel like this whole training week has been a struggle. Again, take advantage of the opportunities I have when I have them.

I will attempt my brick tomorrow while A. is in preschool...hopefully I can fit it all in...root for me please. At least it will be warmer...yahoooo!!!
