Oh, Monday

Since I'm not currently working, most of my weekdays run together and half the time, I can't even tell you the calendar date. However, Mondays still suck because my husband has grad class after work so we don't get to see him all day (well, I see him for like an hour at the end of the day, but Faith misses out entirely). That means that Mondays are the most inconvenient time for me to feel crappy, yet my body had other ideas today. I woke up with back pain and tons of round ligament pain (if you don't know what this is, just imagine stabbing pains in your abdomen as a parasite invader expands their empire).

I did run 2 miles outside this morning, but my running was largely motivated by the fact that I was cutting it close on time to make it to toddler "Wiggle Giggle" story time at the library. It was warm, muggy and nasty out this morning and the weather didn't help my outlook on the day. We did make it to the library on time and Faith had a great time. Even waiting for story time to start is fun for her.

I'm gonna punch any kids that try to take this toy from me. MY FIST IS READY.

My fist is still ready.

Since she seems to get sick from story time, I brought some antibacterial hand stuff and it turns out that she's a huge little germophobe.

OMG Mommy, did you see that kid next to me with the runny nose?

I'm so grossed out by other toddlers. 

She was more into that stuff than sunblock and that's saying a lot. I'm not really sure that it will make a difference in her getting sick from the other kids, but it's worth a shot. Oh, those are stamps on her hand, not some kind of leprosy in case you were wondering.

When we got home from that, she had lunch and then it was time for me to run more. It was one of those days when I should have listened to that voice in my head that said "Wouldn't napping be a better use of your time?". I thought my back would loosen up as I went, but it never did. After a little over 2 miles, I went to try to adjust the volume with the remote and hit some random button that made the TV not work anymore. I spent like 10 minutes trying to fix it, but I couldn't figure it out. I'm sure it will take my husband like 2 seconds to fix it tonight, but it was the straw that broke the camel's back for my run and I just said "Screw it" and called it a day at 4.26 miles total (including the outside portion).

Don't bring me into this you lazy bitch

It was stormy outside this afternoon, so went spent it inside. Faith seemed concerned about Peanut's laziness:

Hey dog, is this all you DO all day?

Mommy, even a fish would move more than this.

Hey Peanut, can you still breathe when I do this?

I'm banking on feeling better tomorrow and getting a good run in. My standards for a "good run" are pretty low, so there is a good chance I'll get it done.


What day of the week do you hate the most? I always hate whatever day my husband has night class.

Are you a Purell user? I never used to even own any, but I got some just for going to the pediatrician's office and the library because they are cesspools of disease.
