A little motivation was all I needed...
I just returned from the kid's jog-a-thon at school a few minutes ago. Before the run started I was chatting with a friend about how I needed to start going to the church work out group not far from home but I was lacking motivation. I told her she should come with me! (basically my sad attempt to hold someone else accountable for my work-out program!) After the run ended a SUPER annoying girl found me and proceeded to ask a thousand questions. " Oh is that your baby? Oh, it's so cute. Can I hold it? Why not? Is that your blanket? Is that where he's going to lay down? Can I sit on it? Can I have some gum? Why not? I like your baby. Can I hold it? Can I have some gum? Why not, she's chewing some? Your little girl is walking over there. Can I go too? Why not? Seriously- it continued forever and not to mention she had the world's loudest voice. She was the most persistant little thing I have ever met and before leaving she asks: Are you going to have a girl? And I said "nope, I'm all done having kids." Then she said, "Is it a girl?" And I pointed to Roman and said, "no he's a boy." Next she said, "No I mean the one in there," sticking her finger in my stomach. I half laughed and said, "No there's no baby in there." "Then why does it look like you have one in there? she asked" "Well, I said a little shocked, "it just happens sometimes." Finally she left and I just stood there now trying to suck in my stomach even more. Where the heck did you come from? I thought. I kinda just stood there and collected myself half wanting to cry, half wanting to slap her and half wanting to reach for a carton of ice cream to drown in. Seeking some reassurance I asked Daisy as she was walking by if I still looked pregnant. She wrinkled her face and said, "No!." I told her about "brat- face" and she tried to reassure me. It didn't work. I guess that was all I needed today, right? A little motivation...
