I've completed my couch to 5k training. Now it's just a waiting process until October when I have my 2 scheduled 5K runs. I've promised hubby after those runs I won't run anymore. I'll sell the treadmill and get an elliptical and for Christmas we will buy each other bikes. I joined a walking meet up group that I haven't met up with once! It' been 2 weeks. Once I finish running I may attend more or at least 1. John doesn't believe I can give up running...I don't think he truly understands how stimulus driven I really am. I'm already bored with it and I gotta keep doing it until October.
Kids all go back to school next week. My thoughts mostly fall to oldest daughter. I remember that first day of school going in pregnant. I was actually excited...because I was stupid and headstrong. No one was going to tell me I couldn't be a mother. Would it attract attention? Yes it would and at that time...I wanted attention. Would it make me popular? It might! And it was a big old popularity contest back then. As it turned out I was popular...with the nurse. I was so busy working, planning where my senior year would be and going to school to get ready to have the baby I didn't have time to throw my hat in the popularity contest...let alone hear who won. Right now everything she does is for attention. The daughters came over last night...from the moment she stepped in the door it was about oldest pregnant teen daughter. I watched younger daughter fade out and it hurt my heart. She is so beautiful, smart and funny and yet she just can't shine next to all that is her dramatic sister. Younger sis is either lumped into everything her older sis does or in the case of this pregnancy ignored all together.
On other fronts. I'm back in school. A little. I'm taking an accounting class. I love it. Very black and white. There is no creativity in accounting...its rules. I like rules, logic and structure. Accounting rocks!
