The Wonderful Life of a Hormonal Woman

If you are a woman, you notice weird ups and down that come during at certain times of the month. Let's take the beginning of the cycle. You're cranky, tired, achy, and bloated. The week after you are so exhausted and cranky. The third week you are feeling great, recovered, and more energy. Than, the week before you are back to cranky and tired... So, you're telling me we have ONE week out of the month to feel good?? What is all this about? Maybe, men would understand more if they went through it for a couple of months. After, running the 5k... I wanted to sleep all day today. I just could not get enough sleep.... I wake up from a nap and want to go right back to sleep. Fall asleep again, than when Sam starts to wake up, I had to really force myself to open my eyes. I always get bummed when I don't fully have the energy to give to Sam. Makes going back to work that week a little bit more difficult. Tomorrow, Sam and I will venture off to the Parker Pool with a friend from my old job. Hopefully, I have a bit more energy. I am not a person who handles a lot of events well. When I have a jam packed month where my weekends are booked up, I get stressed and angry. I'm more of a spur of the moment type person. Wake up... lets go to the mall today or I think I'll call my mom or sister to hang out.... Not much of a planner in that way. Tonight, we had Scott's Brother, his wife, and my nephew Ryan over for Taco Salad and Brats. It was fun. Sam ran around with Ryan and laughed a lot. She also ate a couple Chocolate Covered Strawberries.. Yum ;) I do like to entertain from time to time. But, the social aspect does make me tired. Today, Sam gave me a scary gift. You see, she usually likes to take the lady bugs out of her water table and give them to me.... Well, today I hear, "Here ya go Mama..." I look over and she has a HUGE bumble bee perched on her finger! I scream and knock the bee of her hand. Sam looks at me confused and starts to cry... Not because the bee stung her (because he didn't) but because she thought I was yelling at her... Oh, the world of a innocent mind. Well, my eyes are closing slowly... off to bed

Where's the Off Button??

Why am I up, you ask? Well, yesterday I ran a 5k for underwareness... Now, you ask... Did you train for this? No.... out of pure arrogance, I wanted to beat or finish at the same time as my boss because she runs on a normal basis. I think she slowed down with me to be nice, and knew it would be fun for me to finish with her. So, yes I ran it... My sister asked if my heart stopped at some point... My guess would be yes! The first mile was a breeze... The second mile lasted forever, and the last mile.2 lasted a little shorted because I think I was starting to slip. But, I can proudly say I did not join the lady laying on the ground whom I asked if she was alive.... So, yes I finished a 5k in 37 minutes. When I looked up what a good time for a 5k was... it was much lower than that number! I have to say it inspired me and I will be running another 5k in September... I will train a little bit more before hand and try to beat my time of 37 minutes by 2 minutes. Have you seen those cool toe shoes? Well, the run is based off of those, so I hope I can convince Scott to let me make that purchase. He's hesitant at the time because I just purchased some North Face Flip Flops that I had to have. I'll work on him. OH! I'm sorry I forgot where I was going with my first couple of sentences. Anyways, I am up because I slept all day to try and recover from my delirious run. I lay in bed trying to fall asleep but random thoughts keep running through my hampster brain. Tonight we drove Sam to a park so she could get some energy out. There were two boys there, they weren't speaking to each other... just wondering around.. I asked one of them, "Do you want us to leave, are you waiting for us to leave??" He replied.. No... I asked the normal stranger questions, age? school? Than why are you here? Anyway it eventually came down to these two boys were from a group home near by and wanted to get out of the house, I guess... So sad. Two boys not speaking to each other just coming to a near by park to sit. The middle school boy followed the highschool boy around. I wonder what happened, and what these boys can do. Of course, after they left, I sat there and wanted to cry because I felt so bad for them. If only they had someone to talk to... Scott shakes his head at my a lot because I talk to strangers and I probably make them uncomfortable.. But, who is to say that that boy didn't need someone to talk to. I'm not stupid, I know better than to do so when My husband isn't around. But, I'll ask someone who looks lonely how their day is going or create conversation if it will make them feel better. Gotta Run
