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!
I have a $35 gift certificate to a salon in Salt Lake City... will that help? If so, it's your's. Sorry about your frustrating crappy couple of days! I feel the same way at work, always cleaning up after everyone, doing dishes, organizing crap,etc. I end up doing it because I'd rather just have it done than waiting around, getting more and more mad that no one else is doing anything. I'm guessing you feel the same. I'm going to mention it in our upcoming meeting and show them all the cupboards in the kitchen and remind them where crap goes, and how to wash their dishes. Maybe a family meeting will help in the same way. Or assign days to cook or random jobs each of the kids have to do before playing video games or leaving with friends or watching TV. And as for the husband... well... kick him in the shins and tell him to man up and carry his load. :) I love you lady. Don't get discouraged with running! You're doing it, and that's what's most important. The results will shine in no time.
