Perspective

I have been reading the BEST books lately. Both of the writers are ladies and they seem to really know themselves. The way they talk about who they are and how they see themselves is so interesting to me. I don't think I've ever really paid to much attention to how I am with other people or how I tackle things that come my way. So this past week, I paid attention. This is what I have come up with.

1. There is something about going to a movie by yourself. I LOVE it. I did not go by myself this week, but I met my little sister, who was running a bit late, so people looked at me when I said, "One, for The Lucky One".  And Slowly walked in, taking my time not to be rushed by little boys.

2. I feel guilty if the sun is shining and I'm inside. Like I'm cheating on the sun, with shade. For all those days of working a full time job and going to school and cursing out loud that I wanted to be enjoying the sun and not stuck inside. Now is my chance to soak up those rays. Maybe that's also why I love summer rain showers!

3. I LOVE watching people do things they're not suppose to do. Example, Last Sunday while my neighbors were at church, their 2 daughters, 18 and early 20 something, were outside jumping on the trampoline in their bras and short shorts, with the boyfriends, who were also rockin' their underwear. I couldn't stop myself from staring. Aaron kept telling me to stop but honestly I thought it was hilarious and I was concerned or anxiously waiting for their parents to come home!!

That's all I have for right now, but I am trying to pay attention to how I take on things to see my strengths and weaknesses. I want to improve on my short comings and be a better person. But like I said it's only week one and my list is still a little short!

The unthinkable

I am doing it! I am ditching my run. I had full intention to run 4 miles today, I might even say I was looking forward to the run, until I wasn't!

I took Beck to the park and he fell asleep on the way home. This kid has been anti- sleep for the past couple of weeks. His famous line has been, "No sleep, Suns up!". Well, bad news for me is just like Beck, the sun is up before 7am everyday now... And it stays up past 8 pm... just like Beck.

So after unloading the boys and laying them down I hurried and changed into my running gear and jumped on the treadmill. 1 mile into the run, I was thinking. I could be watching t.v. and NOT Kick Buttowski either!

So just as quick as I jumped on the treadmill(which I hate) I jumped off. I am going to skip my run and enjoy some much needed down time, by MYSELF. Heck, I might even close my eyes for a quick snooze. Just as I typed that I realized my house could use a little TLC as well... HUMMMM I'll have to see how motivated I get in the next hour! For now... QUIET TIME!

I hope these 2 cowboys sleep for a long time.
