You little stinker!

So its the weekEND!!! Looking forward to hitting up the gym tomorrow morning, my comfort zone! Long story short, I got shown up by a 6th grader!!! It is 19 degrees out and Thomas and I decide to go OUTSIDE for a run. We go to Freedom High School with the rest of our family and Thomas made it a mile. I would have, BUT I have many excuses. I could not feel my fingers and I decided to mess with my Ipod and got more then a little freaked out that my digits were numb. So after one lap I went to the car, took off my Ipod put on gloves and decided to start over.

Lap two of one, lol, I get to the end and Natalie, who I could tell is not having the time of her life, slips on ice while Matt is tending to Alex. So I have to stop and make sure she is not hurt. She says she is o.k. So I am on my third lap of the day and all I could think about.. "Did Nats pants get wet when she fell??? I don't want anyone getting sick or stand there in wet pants while I run in 19 degree weather. So I stopped. Oh well! I did not get in a successful run in since Wednesday night. Thomas and I should have just went to the gym and ran on the treadmill from the start.

I had my whole week planned out with running on Thursday and Saturday (today) but here is what happened. My awesome friend Gloria gave me four tickets to the Flyers game on Thursday. I was so grateful and so excited to go! I went with Matthew, John and Paula. We had a really nice time. It was super cold, and they lost, but we still had a great time! Thank you Gloria! Well, when she offered I decided, if my mom could pick Odin up from school on Friday, I could just hit up the gym then and Saturday. Thank goodness I did because I totally forgot that Friday was month end and now I had arrangements for Odin. Month end at my job means working late and not having a choice in the matter. So I ended up working until a little after 8:30. Well my gym on Friday closes at 9. Today was still a good reminder today that running outside is a whole different ball game!

So I was very proud of Thomas running a mile in way freaking below freezing temps! and kind of excited to have a kid in my life excited to run and hang out with me! Odin is a little young to run, and by the time he is old enough to run with me, will he want to?? Who knows??? Anywho.... tomorrow should be exciting. Odin mentioned he wanted to go to this certain playground that happens to be RIGHT across the street from my spot in Bethlehem that I want to clean up. I told him that once him and Nat get a trash bag full of garbage we can head over there.... I am such a mean mom. He actually said "sure then you can pay us mom." and I said "Oh no Odin, I will not pay you, the earth will" then he says.... "Mom the earth does not have any money" LOL. So I explained this all to him, and he was no too impressed.

So goals tomorrow are: head to the gym EARLY!!! Run my program! Pack my bags and NOT forget anything! Take the kids or go by myself to do some trash picking and head to my moms with Odin around 5. I will also need to go to the grocery store to get some lunch food for Odin which means I also need to get some healthy food for me! I sometimes wish that pizza, bread sticks, pretzels and honey mustard were like "healthy" food. Don't get me wrong, I do like almost all vegetables, fruits and nuts, but nothing fills me up like good old bread! Ugh, if I give up crappy old bread for thirty days maybe I will lose the habit?!?! I don't know. It took one second to give up meat.. maybe I can give up bread too! Seriously I would be like the healthiest person alive. Hum, I am not ready to make that commitment yet. I love bread! and wine! Even Jesus likes bread and wine!

With that note, both the seven year olds are out and snoring! So I am going to take advantage of that and watch some Superbad, get in the shower and head to bed with out hearing MOM!!! Yes I am going to bed! No cigs today and not missing them for one second.

Good night quitters,

Trish!
