Stellar Day

Who could ask for more, really?

Had a nice discussion with the optomatrist regarding my son's glasses that are on back order until 10/22. The kid has headaches becaue he can't see. They said that sure I could get a different pair under warranty- but I would still have to fork over $110 for the lenses, because they aren't under warranty.

Okeeey dokey. I politely asked them to give me his Rx so I could take it over to the Evil Empire across the street where I can get a complete pair for half that.

Went to HHS today and got all informed about having my home daycare. Thankfully I don't have to have the smoke detectors installed before I open for business and there are grants out there to help with that (phew!). Now on to doing a little work on my contracts and forms, and then I need clients! Please pray for me that I get good families that will stick around. I think that will be the hardest part - getting attached to the little guys and then they leave.

My little one had her own shake from McDonald's tonight. I had a diet pop again - even though it was against my better judgement... but we had Arby's for dinner to - so I didn't need the extra calories.

AWANA was so fun tonight. I'm so glad I'm a leader again this year. I really missed it when I quit after Christmas last year. Sometimes you just have to decide when enough is enough. My son told me that he put in a prayer request for me with his group. He told them that my belly was bloated and hurt me nearly every day and that the Doctor was going to slice into it next week. Kids!

We had some time to kill before church and were on the south side of town so we stopped into Shopko. I have been looking for some long sleeved t shirts to bridge the gap between summer and winter and lo and behold they were having a One Day only 50% off on some shirts I just looked at on Monday and didn't get because they weren't on sale. Thank you Lord! I'm a little hard on clothes, so I don't like to spend much on my every day stuff.

So a really great day and all that was missing was my Husband...where oh where is that man?

Lincoln Marathon Race Report

Another beautiful Spring day in Nebraska, another year running the Lincoln National Guard Marathon and Half Marathon! David and I rode our bikes to the start of the race, as we do each year.  Since they recently moved the start line, to accommodate more runners, we need to change where we rack our bikes! The weather on the Saturday before the race was terrible!  Our 11yo daughter, Alahnnah, ran the KFRX Mayor's Run and it was miserable.  It was about 35 degrees with 20mph winds and rain.  We had discouraged the girls from participating - but when a kid tells you "Mom, we signed up for it, we need to do it" - you have to do it. Miss A giving me "the look" Thankfully, Sunday was a little better.  The temps were hovering around 40 and there was no rain.  The wind had died down a bit, but it was still chilly!  I dressed in a t-shirt and a jacket when last year I ran in a tank top! When we got to the race, we lined up waaaay in the back near the 5:15 pace

Woohoo for Week Two + *sad face*

Week Two of training for the Legend 70 went great! Since Week One  was a little weak-sauce, I aimed for perfection for week two.  I stuck to my eating, relaxing and training plans to a "T". Monday - Took a 2.5 mile walk on the treadmill while watching The Walking Dead, stretch and foam rolled.  I did 30 minutes of yoga after work and let myself have some time to relax and decompress. Tuesday - Jumped out of bed for a 45 minute run and a 20 minute strength routine.  Still was struggling a little bit with tight chestedness from last week, but we got through it. Tuesday PM - went to the pool for a 45 minute swim.  My friend who just had bariatric surgery went with me and did her pool laps, too.  I am really proud of her! Wednesday - woke up a bit tired from heavy training the day before, but put my best effort into a 45 minute bike and 15 minute run.  If you do them one right after the other it's called a "brick." Thursday - A tired 45 minute bike r

Transparency

-
I have a friend who has said more than once that she loves me for my transparency. I hold nothing back about myself. There are no secrets. In the appropriate setting, I am willing to tell you everything. If you really want to know. Prior to my life as of now, I had a life that you might not think was very pretty. I don't know how to say this, other than, I was a mess. There were times in my life that I just worked a job only so I could have money to use and drink. I didn't have money to pay rent for very long, so I would move in and move out. A lot. I put utilities in my son's name one time just to get them turned on. I stole checks from my Mom and forged her name. I stole food out of my neighbors refrigerator because she forgot to lock the door when she left. I broke in to my friends houses when I knew they weren't home. I sold things that were not mine for money to buy drugs. I was a pitiful excuse for a human being. I smoked through both of my older child
