Today is a beautiful, sunny day, though a bit on the chilly side. Reason #522 that I will not win Mother of the Year: I didn't realize just how cold it was this morning and neglected to put a jacket on any of my children and dressed Grant in just his swim trunks (it was his swim day at school today) and a long sleeve shirt, figuring it was warm enough that we'd all be able to walk quickly into the Y without freezing. Um, no. So there you go--not anywhere near Mother of the Year.
With that said, here is my list of things for which I am thankful today:
1. The sun! Hooray for sunny days, I know that in a month the warm sun may be a rarity, so I want to soak it up as much as possible.
2. A good workout! There is just something so exhilirating about finishing a run, drenched in sweat, knowing that you burned off maybe three pieces of Halloween candy from the previous night. Actually, I just really do enjoy pushing myself and knowing that I can brag later to Ryan about how far I ran. (In fairness to Ryan, I know in a few months he will be training for the mini-marathon and will be able to kick my butt in his distance running!)
3. Girls' Night Out tonight with some co-workers! Even though I will be out WAY past my Friday night p.j. time, I know it will be fun to spend some time with friends, laughing and enjoying some great conversation and drinks!
4. The kids waking up a bit later today, which I would have enjoyed more if I could have slept in as well. I think tomorrow I will be thankful that Ryan let me sleep on Sat. morning. :) (Hint, hint, Ryan!)
definitely with you on the exhilirating feeling of a good workout! :) and i too went to the Y early in the morning with my kiddos yesterday and didn't put a coat on ANY of them...AND kate was wearing flip flops...the childwatch ladies probably think i'm a nutcase!
