run run as fast as you can

so not me but you get it
You can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man, ha!
NO, that isn't true. I am pretty darn sure you could catch me EASY!
I have begun running again. Yes folks, I like to run I think. Well, I like the idea of running. I like the runner's high which by the way has yet to be seen since I returned to this daily activity. I want to some day unspecified run a 5K, a half marathon, possibly a full marathon and then maybe even a triathlon. CRAZY I know but all those things sound incredibly fun to achieve. SOUND being the key word as I can't seem to manage a mile than is less at 11 or 12 minutes. That is NOT what my mile currently is and more than 2 miles at once FORGET IT!
UGH! Why do I do this to myself, as in get a steady pattern of running down, start to make progress towards my goal and then let weather, children/life get in the way? I am way to stubborn to say it won't ever happen because NO ONE is gonna tell me I can't. IE I won't want 4 kids after I have a few, I won't want to teach after a few years, I won't on and on. Oops sorry ramble over.
Anyway, I have relented to running is a lonely thing because Annabeth is not available when I can run always and hubby just can't won't do it. I also think that I like to do this because it is the only thing in my life that causes me to focus on the here and now. I balance checking my surrounding since I am on the road where cars drive and watching my feet take one step and another. It is taxing on my body and requires mind over matter. How funny it seems to argue with myself about I can or cannot continue. This is the 3rd week I have been consistant and I refuse to let myself miss any chances. Heck, my pants are a bit more snug than before and my waist has a bit more there too. As much as I try to not let my mother be right I am getting a bit older (34 is hardly old) but yes bad choices in taking care of my body are creeping about. My faith is stronger that it won't keep my down but reality is here too.
Anyway, I do hope the Spring and eventual Summer is motivating you all to do something better for your health as in I like to move it move it. Oh sorry music interrupted my thoughts again. Let me also mention that music is the main reason I even make it as far as I do.
My current move it songs that I ponder are Disturbia, (I don't care what the song is supposed to be about. I keep thinking how much it reminds me that the world influences you/my kids so easily and I have to pay attention to not be sucked in. Listen to words and see if you get what I mean but heaven's do not watch the video cause that is scary and you will not see what I mean!) http://www.metrolyrics.com/disturbia-lyrics-rihanna.html
 One step at a time, (again my own interpretation) http://www.metrolyrics.com/one-step-at-a-time-lyrics-jordin-sparks.html

I need to get some more songs with a steady fast beat because it is amazing how much farther I can go with the right music!

PS I will never forget this part of the movie What a Woman Wants cause it is sooo true! Movie clip, perfect check it out!
Good luck with whatever road you all are traveling. Thanks for reading!

Talking is fundamental

Image
6 people live in this house of mine. Most days there is plenty of space for everyone to move about separate of another. The outdoors is 10 acres of mostly wide open space for freedom. The one thing there is not enough of is quiet. #1 can talk your ear off and then some. He continues to read and reread his Titantic book, quizzing his siblings and myself. I really don't understand how Daddy misses out on the quizzes but some things may never be understood. The only way I get quiet is to allow electronics. I will admit that I have done that more than once to ensure a moment or two to think, better yet not think. Since #2 and #3 are playing ball this summer he keeps saying he is going to play next summer. Poor thing feels left out of the hustle and bustle. I am not so sure he would enjoy the pressure to perform but we shall see. #2 can talk as she chooses but is easily engrossed in her writing or reading. Conversations with her are based on real life events, or thoughts about futu...

Ugh!

My husband has this cough, ANNOYING cough which appears to have absolutely no purpose in life. I must endure in silence because I am pretty sure he wouldn't do it if he could help. Yet all I can think of is the last time I tried to be politely quiet which back fired. Stop me if you have heard this story, or well skim ahead. :) I was awaiting the birth of #2. It was night and I was 9 cm dilated. Although this was my 2nd full term child, it was my first real labor with #1 being a breech c-section. The time approached 9pm and the thoughtful well practiced nurses encouraged me to "get some rest" before I was to push. You never know how short or long pushing turns into so I readily agreed (the epidural making it possible to think about relaxing in the first place). All (as in the 4 other people) were kicked out of the room but hubby decided to come back. I suppose his concept of not leaving me completely alone was well intentioned but what took place was far from helpful. I ...

Valentines, Boys and food

Last night all 3 big kids sat with me on the little couch reading books. One of them was called will you be my valentine. Michael asked what a valentine was and as I was explaining about "boy" friends and boy friends/ girl friends and "girl" friends. Annabeth then says so you and Daddy knew each other when you were kids. I tell her no and she gets confused. She asked some more questions suprised to hear that Daddy wasn't my only boyfriend. She asks if I kissed the other boys and I hestitated but said yes. She asked how old I say when you are 16 you might kiss a boy, HA! Daddy chimes in and says more like 20. All the kids yell at him because he usually does add something to tease with. Annabeth then covers her mouth and says I am NOT going to kiss a boy. Jan 1st 2010 we were heading to eat Chinese. It was 10:30am. Joey said I haven't eaten breakfast. I said well you should have done that before we were leaving can't you wait. He said nothing so I left t...
