"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 ...

There are two kinds of people: Part One

This topic has been on my mind for quite a few years, and I always tell my ultra hip (yeah right) self, that I should write about it. So finally, after this last revelation that, yes, there are two kinds of people in this world, I needed to get it off my chest. There are two kinds of people in this world. "But Megan?" you quickly rebut, "No there's not! There are so many kinds of people in this world. Short people, tall people, loud people, introverted people, French people, people who like food, people who are allergic to grass, dog people, cat people, this list is endless." And to you I say, "Well of course." But  here's the deal. When it comes down to it. We are all, but one of two kinds of people. And I'll kindly, yet firmly, break it down for y'all. There are two kinds of people in this world. And you WILL fall under one of these categories. Are you ready? Here, I'll set the scene. You are walking down the sidewalk....

Round two!

I got to come home for a little bit and play with Brady and Halle, give them a bath (me a shower) and then laid them down for a nap. I took some ibuprofen, I think I have an overdose of a "caffeine, lack of sleep, still wearing my contacts" headache! So now I am going to try and nap a little and then it's back to the hospital with Shelby for round two of SLUMBER PARTY AT THE HOSPITAL WITH A SICK BABY! Not worthy of all caps joy, but I'm trying to be optimistic about it all! So we had a rough night last night, she didn't sleep for a full hour from 9-1am, then she had a bit of an issue with her nebulizer treatment (meaning she didn't like it) and then her IV came out. Yadda yadda. Finally at 3 am she was ready to settle down and then she slept till 7am. On my chest. Luckily I was tired enough to get most of that sleep as well, until about 6:30ish. I just feel so bad for her! I felt bad for me a little too about 1:00 am. I wanted to just cry my eyes out from bein...
