Woot! It's finally Friday!!!
I find myself getting very happy on Fridays because I know it means I have a long run the next day. At least I usually do. And tomorrow was all set to be the day that I hit the 14 mile mark. It's only one more lap around the neighborhood than I've done so far so I figured I'd make it. I've been psyching myself up all week to be able to do this and I'm so ready! I even talked to Dad about him giving one child a ride back home from an activity. Okay, so..... willingness? Check. Time? Now that transportation's taken care of, check. Mental toughness? Um, check? No, check. Yes, check!
Then the other child asks if he can do an activity that falls right in the middle of when I was going to run.
Arrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
No, Dad can't help with transportation for this one. Him working nights means he'll need to be asleep when this one needs a ride.
Bummer! I guess there goes my run, huh? Color me completely displeased!! But, what're ya gonna do? Being a parent is a responsibility I accepted years ago and that means I have to put myself last sometimes. Dang!!!
There has to be a way around this. It's just an obstacle and those are meant to be overcome.
Hmmmmmm.....
Wait a minute..... who says I can't go running on Sunday? If I don't go to the martial arts meetup then I'll have the time. Yeah! That's it!!! I'll just do the 14 miles on Sunday after playing Mom's Taxi on Saturday.
So what are your plans for the weekend?
