Why run a marathon

By Anonymous
-my Dad has always wanted me to (and he won't get off my back until I do)

-I can eat whatever I want during training (like the two whole cream cheese poundcakes my Mom made during the holidays that I hid in the back of fridge so my family wouldn't find them and ate them entirely by myself)

-when I turn 40 this month I will hopefully know that I can at least run far even if the rest of my body is falling apart and I have to hold things way out in front of me to read them

-Michael ran one and I can't let him hold that over my head (noooo, I'm not competitive)

-I have a great excuse to get out of my house away from my kids and listen to my IPOD for hours at a time (this is my favorite reason)

-I get to buy cute new running clothes without guilt because I am actually running in them

-I get to show up ay Sophie's school in the morning in sweats and a hat with the excuse that it is a running day (even when it's not)

-it's is the only way to spend time with Lyric because she has like a thousand friends

and just because I wanted to see if I could.......

    I'm dying to hear how it went!!! I seriously CAN NOT fathom running that far. I think the most I've ever run without stopping is 6 miles..and I've never been more proud. :)

    I am impressed with you!!!!

The four letter word of mommyhood "SELF" care

By
Don't even think about saying you are going to take some time for your self as a mom because someone or something WILL sabotage it...trust me, this is truth. You would think I would be the queen of self care....don't get me wrong in my house I am the queen of a lot of things, but self care ain't one of them. Growing up my dad loved reading self help books and sharing his insight with me all the while I moaned, "Dad stop, seriously, this is sooo boring...." and "seriously Dad, I'm trying to watch Days of Our Lives I don't care what Gandhi says" and "Dad, I do not want to meditate to bells and chimes" and last but not least "Dad!! I do not want to drink that weird stinky mushroom broth that's been sitting on the windowsill for weeks because it will make me healthy". One of my favorite BAD memories is when he made me do some fasting crap only drinking saline solution and then we ran out of toilet paper after the "heal...

Issues

By Anonymous
Ok, I've got issues...oh, you already knew that?!?! Is that because everything I feel comes out of my mouth...see just one of my "issues"..... I would rather sit and read other people's blogs for hours rather than clean my house I would rather eat chocolate frosting than chicken and veggies for dinner I would rather sit on the couch and read than feed my family I would rather play Fantasy Football than sew or crochet I would rather relax by the pool with a People Magazine than study history or something else intelligent I would rather take pictures of people or things all day than get a real job I would rather sit on the beach all day with this view than run errands I want to be a good wife and mother with a spotless house and place beautiful healthy meals on the table and never raise my voice...BUT....this is just not reality for me!!! God bless my poor family......
