Believe to Achieve

3.5 miles at 5:15 am (AP=8:34).  Only could get in that many as I had to be to work at 6am.  Couldn't seem to get myself out of bed until then.  Warm breezy morning.  Very nice.  Right hamstring tight.  Then went to work and pretty much had an atypical migraine all day--stomach upset, burning nerve pain from my neck down through my chest and back of thigh.  It passes after several hours so I just deal with it.  Just hadn't had one this bad for a while.  I have been eating a lot of foods that I usually avoid so I am sure it was food and hormone triggered.  Later later this evening I got off work and b-lined it to all three of my daughters' piano recital.  I was very anxious to see Amber, my littlest play in front of an audience.  Well, that was not to be.  I had forgotten that my car had no gas and Troy already had the kids there.  I tried to drive there and then I ran out at the stoplight getting off at Orem Center St.  There I was at the front having to wave people around me.  If I didn't have to stop there I would have made but the idling took the rest of the gas.  A nice lady pulled up beside me.  She asked if I had a cell phone.  No, I replied and that I was on my way to a piano recital and just got off work.  She wanted to give me a ride to the gas station just 1/4 mile a way but what to do with my SUV in the middle of EVERYTHING!!!  I kept trying to start my car and after another red light and new cars behind me wondering "what the heck woman!!"  I said a quick prayer and said I just want to get to that gas station right there.  And like that my car started and I made it.  But I didn't make it to see Amber in time.  She was the last of the littlest to perform so I could be there but they still had her perform even though I didn't make it.  She looked at me and said mom, you missed me.  And I sat there sad and mad, and then Brooke my middle girl got up for hers.  She didn't need negative energy so I tried to change gears and be happy.  I looked over and saw that Troy was taping it and was glad for video and a forgiving little girl.
