Whatevs

A few weeks ago I had a blog address sent to me to check out.  I went to the blog and read the meanest things. The person was putting themselves on a pedestal while trashing all these other people, and not just little digs either.  I am a judgmental person, I acknowledge that and at times I embrace it, but this was horrible.  As I explained the difference to a friend who also checked out the blog, we decided that I am a light hearted judger not harsh and mean.  I am friends with some of the people that blogger was so horrible about and I was pissed!  I thought of all the things that I should do to show her how awful she is.  I gave it about a day and then realized how sad that person is and now I try harder to be a better person and friend every time I think about her.  So while she will live the rest of her life miserable and mean, I will be taking something from her grumpiness and become a better person.  Maybe eventually I can put myself on a pedestal and look down on the rest of the crowd....naw, I think I like the view from the ground!

Another incident occurred in the last few days.  I was telling a friend about a conversation with a lady at church, I was telling church lady about a girl that is less active and what I thought would help.  The lady treated me like I was an idiot and talked down to me like I was stupid.  She doesn't know the girl, I barely know the girl but I left frustrated (which is not the first time that I have talked to her and felt that way after, neither is it the second...or third for that matter).  Anyway I was relaying this story about frustrating church lady to  friend and she said something to the effect of don't waste your time on her she is never coming back to church because of blah, blah, blah.   I was shocked, I happen to know that friend has dealt with similar problems and come back to Church.  I hate it when people don't remember where they came from!  That is one of my biggest pet peeves.  I have a Brother in Law (not one any of you probably know) that was quite the wild guy.  It was all before I met him but I have heard the stories.  He is a church goer know but would be the first one to condemn another for the same stuff that he went through.  AHHHHH!!!  

I hope to never be the condemn-er, I guess it is just another thing to think about, be aware of, and improve upon.  so that is just what I will do!

Just sitting

I am just sitting here trying to find an excuse to put off going out running! It isn't a long run today, in fact it is rather short, I don't know what my problem is.  I am a bit sore from running and hiking this week but not that sore.  It is just a matter of me getting dressed and heading out.  I even slept until almost 10 this morning!  Could it be that because everyone else in the house is still asleep I think I deserve to be too?  ( one worked last night, one is sick and the last one is a teenage boy).

This is my favorite picture from the hike we went on yesterday.

It was a fun time and all 3 boys loved throwing rocks in the creeks and getting dirty climbing and writing in the dirt.  I love this because my "cool" teenager is so sweet to the little kids!

He was an awesome help and I don't think the hike would have turned out well at all if he hadn't gone!

Well, while I waited for that picture to download I got my gear on to go run.  

I am one step closer.

Now to open the door and walk out!

Frustrations!!!

I think that running is making me fatter!  It doesn't seem possible but I think it is true!  My pants all feel tight.  I feel good and most the time I feel like I am down (weight wise) but I am pretty sure I am chub a lub lubbing it!  Oh well, I can't stop now, at least I will be a fat runner, maybe when I hit 300 pounds I will be in marathon condition!  BRIGHT SIDE!!!

I am also amazed at how no matter if I work or have a day off I am still the one expected to do most of the work in the house.  I got home at 4:15 yesterday, let everyone know that I felt like I was getting sick, went running at 4:30, and guess who was the lucky one able to cook dinner.  My husband was off yesterday, daughter was off yesterday and my son knew I was working and dad wasn't so he called home "sick" from school.   Got it done!

Then today I didn't have to go to work until 6:30 p.m., husband was off, daughter was off, son made it through a whole day at school.  Guess who got to do laundry all by herself (except for daughter helping fold a load)? yep, that would be me!  I also got to nag about getting dishes done both yesterday and again today and was once again the lucky one that got to cook dinner without even an offer to help!  I went to work, husband did help me set up nets there and came to pick me up at 9 let me know that son was in bed and daughter was out with a friend and I come home to son watching a move in in MY bed and still awake at almost 10!  WTF!  I seriously needed to write those instructions out?  Oh, while I was cooking dinner the rest of the family got to go out and throw around the football.

I am working tomorrow morning and then again tomorrow evening.  Do I need to wonder who is going to finish the laundry or clean the bathrooms?  I think not.  Sometimes I really don't mind playing the part of the martyr, today it just pissed me off!  I don't know how many times in the last few weeks I have given the "If you see something that needs done then just do it" lecture.  I know it has to be quite a few times because I am getting so tired of it.  I went on a vacation a month ago and I need another already, one that includes a massage/spa package!
