Blessed

Walked yesterday, not today, went to MOPS so I wouldn't have had time to walk back home and shower before going. MOPS got me thinking about parenting and ways of thinking and how I want my children to remember me, and I don't think the way I've been acting lately is it. So we'll see how things change, especially since the reward for reaching goals could happen by the end of next year maybe. And I definitely need to get with my chores around here!

Thought for the Day: Think of everything as a blessing, even when you are walking your child back to bed for the 10th time that night, it's a blessing because he (or she) just wants more time with you.

Foiled

"Rainy days and Mondays always get me down!" And the combination of the two is even worse! Waking up this morning, hearing the pitter-patter of rain drops outside my window, knowing that I wouldn't be walking. But that's okay, because I was able to get up and make Mark's breakfast and pack his lunch for him. Now we still have 30 minutes before we have to leave!

Off

Fell off the wagon...er...stroller for the rest of the week. It ended up too late on Thursday to walk, and Zack was home sick on Friday. My parents skills were definitely put to the test this weekend, but I don't know that they passed. Zack has been a very tired, grumpy, stubborn, sick boy since Friday, and it's like beating my head against a wall trying to reason with him to TAKE A STINKING NAP!!!!! We've been tired, too, so that doesn't really help. He was really good in church this morning, though, so that's good. Getting back into walking tomorrow morning, hopefully, with the boys bundled up tight with quilts. Sorry, don't have a thought for today.
