This weekend my hubby went to Denver for a seminar, so that meant 1 mom and 6 kids. Yikes!!! Friday was school and then friends over at night. Saturday we woke up late and had a yummy gluten free breakfast braid. Dropped my oldest off at church for a Webelos hike and dropped off the stud dog we had the past week back to his owners. We got home and it was already time for dinner, the day goes fast. I was really tired, but I knew I needed to get a run in. I made dinner with the help of my girls, they set the table and then I was off to my friends house to use their treadmill. Thank heavens for friends!
I got started and not 5 minutes in my run and my cell was going off...the kids. So and so is yelling, she is touching me, he won't help clean, the baby wants you, the complaints went on and on. I was so done! Can't I get just 1 hour to myself? Come on! I asked if anyone was bleeding or dying. The answer was no and so I hung up the phone and turned up my iPod. Forty minutes and 3.1 miles later I was done and felt great! Not bad for my 1st run since aug of 2010. Just 10 min off my regular run time! Whoo hoo!
I got home and all was well, kids were playing and the baby was having so much fun. I got cleaned up and spent the night playing beatles rock band with the kids. When it was time for bed I had all the kids pile in my room for a movie. It was great! A little time for me was exactly what I needed to get that groggy feeling to go away and the energy to play with the kids.
Who knew my 1st run would be so productive!!
Chris :)
