Ahh, tidbits

I have really missed my therapy sessions with you and my keyboard! I have a few random thoughts I want to put out there before my kids find me. (They are upstairs playing nicely for the time being. I told them if they can be nice they won't have to rest today. Think it will work?) First thing:

As we're pulling out of the bank today onto Sprague, Dani looks up and says, "Look Mom a picture of you." I am thinking, 'what are you talking about.' Then I look up to see the Union Gospel Mission billboard with a lady and her child. I didn't quite know what to think. Granted this girl is about ten years younger than me, BUT I like to think she has had a much harder life than me and it really shows on her face. (I know my life has been wonderful and I am very grateful, but does this mean maybe I should start wearing more make-up and put myself together a little better?) I didn't quite know what to think, I did laugh, because if I didn't I would have probably cried..... granted when we got home Dani went straight to time-out (for other reasons) and I went straight to the bathroom and got ready for the day. :) If you're wondering which billboard I'm talking about it's the one by Pines and Sprague, take a look, you'll know I should be feeling very sad and offended, oh well.

Thought two:

All this billboard converation took place after we left the gym this morning. I am feeling pretty good because for the first time I actually did all THREE sections of my triathlon in one day. I was in no hurry to pick up the kids from day care. :) I figured today should be the day that I do it. I ran 3 miles, biked 11 and swam 1/2 a mile. It took under two hours, with transitions and talking and visiting with friends. I am thrilled to know that my body can even do that, even if I do look like a Union Gospel Mission mom. :)

Hhmm, there were some other thoughts, but that's all that is coming to me right now. I am hearing loud thuds from upstairs.....soon I will figure out my new scanner/printer and get some pics. on here! :)

Have a good weekend! Kent and I are doing Bloomsday, wish us luck!
