With the kids in stroller to wal-mart to do a little grocery shopping.  Alarm didn't go off this morning so I missed my group run and was planning to do more.  But you know what happens when you "plan".  Ugh, bad day today, today is one of those days where you wonder why you do this and if you want to continue.......................................
