I wish I could throw on my shoes and run my strength out this morning. I know this is a running blog and I can't run....but, I wish more than anything I could run today. Running just makes me feel better all around. I need it, I'm addicted to it....I love it. I got up early even after I was out late last night and got on my bike this morning and watched the news while I rode for an hour since I am going to be at the elementary school volunteering for most of the day. Got the kids off to school all but my 4 yr old and 13 yr old that has late start this morning. I got on to check his grades and just don't understand how he can not turn things in or study for his tests. He has been tested for a lot of things because he was sent to earth with quite a few problems that have been difficult for him. His IQ is 98th percentile (so he is brilliant) and yet has ADHD. All he cares about is food and video games. I told him to turn off his video games and that he knows the rules.....if things aren't turned in and he gets below a B-, he is grounded. It was WW3 this morning. You get married and have children and think they will be like you and then I think God does a funny trick on you to teach you patience, love and understanding and sends you a child that is nothing like you. It is not that he is a teenager that has made him difficult. He has been difficult from birth. I just need a good run today to make me feel better. The bike just isn't cutting it! :( To top off my fab day, I get to head to southern Utah again to ride atvs and shoot guns...two of my least favorite activities and my husband's favorite activities. I really need a good run today and one to look forward to to help me through the weekend! ha! Come on all...I can't feel good from a run. I am needing a PUMP UP! I can be a good wife and mom this weekend...I can, I can! :)
