I almost didn't do it. But then I did.

I love the rain. I love the fresh smell, the renewal of the Earth that seems to take place, I love that I don't have to water my grass but I don't love running in the rain with a baby! It rained this morning and it wasn't just a slight drizzle or a few drops, it rained HARD! So instead of going walking with Thing 3 right after Thing 1 and Thing 2 left for school, I waited an extra hour just in case it might rain again. I had almost convinced myself that I should just stay home and do yoga but  knew that wasn't going to happen. So I convinced myself that if I didn't get out today then I would continue putting it off. It worked! I got out for just over three miles before I had to run home lest Thing 3 got soaked. It was great but now I'm stiff. I forgot to stretch my shins so I'm sure I'll be paying for it later. I guess we'll see. I had to stick to established roads so that I could use mapmyrun.com. I love that site! It takes the guessing out of life for me. Then I can't pretend that I went farther than I know I really did.
I have also been trying to get all my water in today but that might not have happened since my pre-measured cup was partially drank by Thing 2 who seems to think that if it's mine, it tastes better. Who knew.
I didn't eat very well today but I am certain that I ate less today because I tried to stay busy. Thing 3 kept me on my toes today by crying unless I was holding the Thing. (If it seems like I am being rude by not mentioning so much as my children's gender, I have my reasons.) I also tried my hand at something new. I reconstructed a T-shirt today. Since I didn't really have a plan and I consider myself extremely linear, it was very difficult for me to decide what to do and I didn't want to just copy someone else's "design." So if my project looks like someone else's, it is purely by chance. I was inspired by...dun, duh, duh....Youtube! Who knew. I guess all my sleepless nights of watching tutorials hasn't been all for naught. I have watched countless tutorials about different things but this one is my current interest. One video "personality" that I checked out quite a bit was Kandee Johnson. Her videos led to others and also other topics. So I guess today wasn't totally a bust. In between crying and living life I actually finished my reconstruction. I went from an oversized plain white tee to a fitted "girly" shirt. I never thought I'd use that word in relation to anything I did. Times are a changing. It only took fbbtht years to do it. Now to go to bed so that I can stave off the urge to eat that peach in the fridge that has been calling my name for the past three or so hours.
