"Running just as fast as we can...."

I love that song, it continues, "....holding on to one anothers hand. Trying to get away in to the night and then you put your arms around me as we tumble to the ground and then you say, I thinnk we're alone now, there doesn't seem to be anyone around. I think we're alone now, the beating of our hearts is the only sound...." I love that song! Songs make me soooo happy! I went running again on Saturday, and I listen to some funky Nelly Furtado on my run and then my cool down is some relax rockin' U2. It is so freeing to be out there running alone, well, I bring my dog, but you know what I mean. The sun is shining, I know I am doing something good for myself, and it's just me and my music.

But cue the evil villian music...I hurt my hip. I am now officially getting old.

So now I'm sad because I can't exercise until it feels better, and so I am soooooo bummed because I'm on a streak! Uggghhhhh!

***Change of subject****

My in-laws, are not excited about me quitting my job to be a stay at home mom. When I told them, my FIL looked straight ahead and pretended he did not hear me, and my MIL said, "Oh, why'd you do that?" eh, ummm, awww....

I'm not sure how to handle it. I've been a little miffed with them for about a week now, since they called Tom at a funeral we were at for my friend's dad asking when were we getting home because they needed to go shopping for cell phones....c-e-l-l phones.
And now they are obviously not supportive of our decision for me to stay home, and in two weekends, we are spending it with them and other family members up in Walker, MN for little vacation. And now I don't feel like going. I'd rather spend the kid-free weekend with just Tom and I somewhere else.

But, I am not letting their reaction make me doubt our decision, and I say OUR, because it was Tom's decision too. I think it is the right one, I really do.

So, I'll just throw on some Group One Crew hip hoppin' christian rockin' music and rock out and know that God will lead the way.

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for all the advice! I don't really have anyone up here to talk to so whenever I can get advice from anyone else it is much appreciated! Thank you!

Don't sweat it Megan--Just remember that this was your decision with Tom, and God! You are making the right decision for your family and even though everyone may not agree, you know what's right in your heart. You're amazing!

a) love that song too...working out WITH music vs. working out WITHOUT music - they are just totally different workouts! I feel way more hardcore when there's some motivational tunes...
b) I'm so glad you and Tom are on the same page with your decision. It makes it the RIGHT decision for that reason alone. Not to mention all the other "pros" on your list.

There are two kinds of people: Part Two - The non-movers

Coffee cup in one hand, veggie/fruit smoothie in the other. No seriously, that's what I have on each side of me as I write. I'm smiling because of how funny this is, as it seems to also relate to this conundrum of a topic before us. There are two kinds of people, and there are definitely two kinds of beverages.  My caffeinated beverage on my left brings me a one sided joy that I cannot even begin to detail. I love my coffee. And I really do think it loves me back. At least for a while. As I peer out of the corner of my eye to the right, I see the greenish grainy drink to my right. Today the fennel seeds in it do not make it seem as dirty  I mean, like I just gathered them from the dirt without rinsing and sprinkled them in there kind of dirty. Maybe it was the splash of OJ I decided to add to it this morning. Now, I know that this drink loves me. It is good for many aspects of my life. Health, energy, sustenance, power. But I do not enjoy it as much. When I make my coffee

Still here...Day Two.

Well, I still miss my kids horribly. Especially this morning when I heard that Shelby was up alot during the night. She has not been up in the middle of the night in 3 weeks, and it made me feel guilty for leaving her. I felt and feel, like I should be home with them. I know the woman who is watching them, that if she hears even the slightest little peep out of the kids would go rushing in to their room. I really don't want Shelby to get used to someone picking her up in the middle of the night for little rustles and sighs. But maybe I am just anxious, and maybe it is not really that big of a deal. Maybe I should just enjoy my time with my thoughts, my books and my husband. But honestly, I am anxious because I feel like the can't live with out me (don't laugh, besides I know it's over dramatic:)), I haven't even attempted to pick up one of my books, and my husband is driving me nuts because it does not bother him one bit that we are 3 hours away from our little bund

Who did we welcome home TODAY????

Shelby Capri Bergman 6 lbs. 5 oz. , 19.5 inches long May 30th, 2008 10:52 pm I just want you all to know that everything went picture perfect. She's beautiful, she's healthy and she's very content. I don't have a ton of pictures yet, my mom took pictures during delivery and I took some today when we got home, but since we don't have internet at home now, it will be slow coming! I had my membranes stripped at 9:45 am on Friday. Afterwards, Tom and I went to Walmart, Applebees's, my sister's classroom to help move some stuff (I supervised... I was a little sore), and then home. I took a nap and Tom started getting ready for supper. His 4 hour long, grilled ribs...and that is how the story begins! So we keep joking that I am going to go during his first trial run with the ribs. This starts at around 3:30 pm. Then, we run out of propane and start all over a
