Tired. My friend called me in the middle of the night since she was going into labor. I went and picked up her kids and transitioned them into makeshift beds at my house. Her kids are wonderful, but I stayed up most of the night with her toddler. It was was more me than him. I kept checking on him, thinking he was crying. I remember those days not to long ago. I didn't want a kid to die in the night on my watch. Those thoughts appear very possible at night only to me:) My sister is also in town with her kids. We had 7 little kids running around the house all day. Lunch was epic feeding those mouths. We were able to bribe a sitter to sneak off for an hour to exercise. I could almost consider today's workout a duathlon. She agreed to ride a mountain bike on the BST trail while I ran. The hills and rocks were making her nervous, so we switched several times. We decided to find our way onto the road. We weaved in and out of neighborhoods and ended up circling the cemetery with water and shade. Lots of hills and lots of laughs today! Good day:) |
