I had my husband move my treadmill into our tv room so I walked/ ran while I watched tv with the family. Mostly walked so I could pay attention to the kids as well.

I let my husband go to church and I stayed home with the sick baby. He always is the one to miss out.

I had to get up early to have my Yukon in to get my window fixed. ( I had an early morning drop off time)

Right after that I had to go to the hospital and get a bunch of blood work done. I had to go in fasting so I could not eat or drink anything after 7:00pm the night before. I thought about running before I had to drop the truck off but decided I would need water.

I got there and they took 10 vials of blood then made me drink the orange nasty drink. After that I had my blood drawn every half hour for the next two hours.

So needless to say I got home at 2:45 in the afternoon. I was ready to pass out or something. I ate a couple of taco's and I was still shaking so bad that I finally ate a small candy bar out of the kids halloween candy and ten I crashed.  I slept for a few hours and woke up in time to fix dinner and then run out to get a dress for the funeral. ( I own alot of colorful church clothes)

I did about as much walking as I could do looking for a black dress.

I woke up today with every intention of running before the funeral.

My husband and I are going to Florida this weekend for 5 days. (Just for fun) and one of my baby sitters called me and said she could not baby sit so we spent every minute up until we had to get ready finding some one else. (Our plane tickets are paid for)

The funneral was from 12-2 then we went to the grave side service,  after that we went to talk to some people about the boys we had because there are custody problems.

After such a sad very tearful day I just wanted to hold my kids and tell them how much I love them.

This man was so young and if he had any clue that that day was going to be his last he would have hugged all his kids and told them how much he loved them. He would have spent every last minute of his life with them.  I think sometimes we take our time here on earth for granted.

My thougths today are live life like there is no tomorrow. Work hard, love everyone around you, smile and say hi,  No matter how mad you are at your kids or loved ones tell them you love them and hug them every chance you get.

If you are headed down the wrong road fix it. Don't wait another day fix it now.      

So we took the kids out to dinner and just enjoyed each other.

I am emotionally drained. I don't think I have any more tears in my body and I would probley calapse if I ran right now.

I will come back strong tomorrow.
