Holy Wind Batman!

PARENTING

Where is spring??? Waah!! It did get a little warmer in the afternoon yesterday, but definitely not as warm as inland! Part of yesterday’s running route went along the beach yesterday, and man– it was HARD!

I wound up hanging a right and altering the route to avoid expending all of my energy fighting the wind. Despite the wind, it was SO nice to get out for a 3-miler at the end of the day.

Yesterday was one of those “Calgon, take me away days.” Sad smile My soon-to-be three-year old had a melt down that lasted about two hours in the morning, while the older one was in school.

I actually had to put him in the front room for a while to take a break because it just wouldn’t stop. I am sure all of the parents out there are very familiar with the moments when you have tried everything and nothing seems to work or make your child happy. I eventually took a mommy time out from sheer exasperation!

The good news is it eventually abated and we had a brief respite for lunch and swim lessons. After swim, it was the soon-to-be five-year old’s turn for a ‘tude. He was in rare form and kept hitting his brother for any minor infraction including approaching him while he was reading!

Thankfully sanity entered with a nice evening run and a glass of wine! I am hoping that today is a much happier day in the Morrison household! The playroom is almost finished, and hopefully the boys will be able to use it soon! Smile

In other news, for those of you running the Cox Marathon or Half Marathon on May 12, come visit me during the expo. I will be working at the ZOOMA Cape Cod booth. Come over and say hi and get some ZOOMA goodies! I will be there both Friday and Saturday!
