Inspired

I’m happy to announce that the event I had going on yesterday morning went well. Not completely without a hitch (I forgot to have the ladies introduce themselves at the beginning but it allowed the projects to be completed. And I got one of the presenter’s names wrong) , but  almost. And I did an interview for the 2nd time this week and didn’t complain about it ^_^. And I posted the photos to the Facebook page, too, in real time. Woo!

I came home for lunch (because I was nearby and the meeting ran till noon! ) and ate some clam chowder while I watched DVR’d “Selfie”. I love that show!

I hauled butt at work trying to get my to-do list done and completed it. I was on a roll! It always feels awesome to accomplish what I need to at work.

Got home, made linguini and helped the girls with homework. Explaining 2nd grade math homework gives me a headache. Poor Alaethia was having trouble understanding and I was having trouble explaining and keeping my patience :(. I don’t remember being so impatient with the boys =/.

I spoke to Jaylen a while and Eenan didn’t charge his phone so he didn’t call me *sobs*. But he did send me a message on Facebook at 11pm :). I crashed out by 10:30

But not before the girls and I chilled with Mabby.

I put the girls to bed, re-watched The Voice with John, Jorgie and Justin and then watched “Manhattan Love Story” (love that one, too!).Then John and I smacked each other with pillows from across the sofa and joked around with the boys. John’s such a bad influence. He wanted Church’s poppers or Jack-in-the-box poppers at 10pm. The boys encouraged him and volunteered to accompany him lol. I didn’t cave and we stayed home hehe.

Woke up with the same attitude as I have since the beginning of the week: I’m going to kick today’s ass!

My hair has behaved itself since the weather has been beautiful. Dropped my girlies off and started my day at work. Accomplished everything including a lunch meeting. One of our committee members told us about her 1-year weightloss surgery anniversary  (I never would have guessed!) and how she ran her 1st half-marathon. Just hearing her gush about it made me want to get out there. I vowed I would today. All week, as I’m driving home, I pass by McAuliffe Park and see people running. The weather’s been so fresh and amazing that I could just imagine how wonderful it felt.

I got home and helped Emmos with her homework while I simultaneously fed everyone.

We gathered their things since Mario was picking them up, I walked them out and got Jaylen’s football pics ^_^.

I told myself to step away from Mabby and the sofa and put on my running clothes. I haven’t run in 3 months…I couldn’t even find my shoes hehe. It was easy to “escape” since Jorge and the boys were occupied by the Patriots game.

I walked the first mile while I talked to the boys on the phone and then I ran 2 miles. I’m so out of practice I started Mapmyrun late and didn’t turn on my monitor till I started running.

It was as awesome as I imagined it would be. The wind was fresh on my neck, I had an amazing view and those deep breaths of air were the best!

I got home and immediately put ice packs on my shins.

I could feel prickles on my shins already and I don’t want to be sore tomorrow. I hope I can motivate myself enough to get out there again ^_^.

I’m making good time, too. Already showered and snacked on popcorn while we watched the game (lucky Patriots!!). I have 2 meetings tomorrow so I’m going to watch Sons of Anarchy with my love and head to bed :).
