I told my self all day yesterday I was going to get on my treadmill and I never did.  i have had the most air headed days of my life the last two days.

Tuesday I thought I would try washing down my fish oil with diet rootbeer. I have to plug my nose to drink it, keep my nose plugged while I rinse it down with something. And I still gag.

So Ya plugging your nose and trying to drink soda not a good idea. I think I choked it all including the fish oil back into my mouth. and then I had fish/rootbeer burps for like an hour.

Yesterday I was on the phone getting some technical suport for my computer (lap top) And the customer service guy was telling me to go type things in and close out windows. So I ran down stairs three time telling him to hang on while I performed these actions before I relized I could just bring my laptop up to the phone with me. The suport guy did not find it funny at all. (I told him I was an idiot and had my lap top next to me now I could imagin him rolling his eyes at me) My cordless was dead.

I down loaded pinks new video from Itunes and it would not play in windows player for me and it would not play from the dvd I burned it to on my tv. I was getting so frusterated trying to figure it out and with the kids that i accidently deleated a couple of my playlists that I had worked a couple of hours putting together. (I have about 10,000 song on my computer) All legal and paid for over the years.  

this dose not include the daily dumb things I do anyways or all the drama with all these kids. My boy I am addopting's paper work has been lost for the second time. They tell me this after 3 months of asking why our prints have not gone through.  My baby's mom has lost her mind as well as her grandparents and she is now in jail and somehow I am supose to be sad about that. And my girl is the biggest brat on the face of the earth right now. O the fits she can throw.

So now that I have vented. I ran my first mile in 10:30 and then I walked .50. I stopped at 20 minutes. I am hoping to go to the gym later or get back on the treadmill when the baby go's down for a nap or bed.

The baby has finally made an attatchment to me which is awsome. We were worried he would not so I can't leave the room with out him crying and he wants me all the time. The negative part of that is i have less time now. Before he was fine by him self or with anyone who wanted him. As far as making sure he dose not aquire a detatchment disorder I give into his every demand when it comes to me.  They say if a baby can't attatch by 6 mths of age they might never.    ( I beleive under the ideal situations they can)

    

So by the time my husband got home I was strung so tight I think he was scared of me.(I did get the best back rub he has ever given me tho) 

    

 I got back on the treadmill when The baby took his nap. I went 2.50 more miles ran my first mile and then kind of just walked the rest. I went for 44:00 minutes. It feels good to be going again but I am tired a little sore. How sad is that I could go 4 miles all at once running and not feel it at all the next day, now look where I am.

sounds like crazy times. I buy Carlsons fish oils lemon flavor they go down alot better and you don't get those fishy burps. You can also mix them into a protien shake and you can't taste them as much. Keep it up! Your doing great.

I bought the plain stuff because it was $5 cheaper and there was more in the bottle. I will get the lemon flavor next time. So do you feel a diffrence when you take it? I'm not sure I do but it dose make my skin look better. Dosen't the oil float when you mix it with a drink?

I just read your blog, You must have just had surgery? I only read the last two. Goodluck with what ever I missed and hope to see you running agian soon. Thanks for the support!

Yes, I must confess have a left over "Twin Skin Tummy". It's truly amazing! I don't think all the crunches in the world could make it go away. I'm trying to learn how to just embrace it, but that's been a struggle. I'm happy to know that I'm not alone!

K I must say it dose make me feel better to know i am not the only one with the extra skin and not abs. But it sucks so I am sorry. I try to embrace it as well and then I have my none embracing days and look up surgens (can't really pay for it but I look) I am going back to my doctor on Monday and I am going to talk to her about it and see if she has any idea's. I still can't do a full sit up it is like my brain is not conected and I can do 500 crunches a day 6 days a week and no diffrence. I had mine well all my kids csection and my insision still hurts sometimes like it is tearing.

They are worth everybit of it tho aren't they.

Hang in there... I'm sure you'll have an all expenses paid trip to the top when you get to heaven, and you are receiving daily blessing now.. (I know that doesn't make much difference when your loosing your sanity and things are out of control at home!!!) But I'm sure you'll get through, so far I think your amazing!!! And your running on top of that!!!
