Going Away Guilt

Planning a trip is the easy part. Planning a trip and leaving the kids at home now that takes planning. Grandma, and Grandpa are coming to stay with the kids, so that's good. Now I have started making a calender of the week we will be gone. Curling games for the kids, guitar lessens, dance lessens, etc. so gran, & granp's will know were the kids need to go. We have not gone of a week alone in 8year, and we have been married of 15years. The kids are older 9, 11,13 so we thought lets go for it. Gran, & Gramp's are making me feel like we are burden them with our kids. I have always made sure don't make my parent watch my kids, and have really never made them have them for night. (Only ever have had my parents have them for night 2 times a year because we were running a marathon in the morning.) Now we are leaving them with the kids for the week.

What is the problem here you may be asking? Is it me who thinks they don't want to watch my kids? They have watched my three sister kids lots. As the time to go on our trips get closer, I feel like I'm burden my parents with my kids.

Well I am going to stay positive about everything. My kids are great and really never fight with each other, and help around the house lots. They are not high maintenance. You tell them to make there lunch, they do it. Tell them take a shower they do it. Tell them to clean up, they do it.

Here is my wish. That all runs smooth, and they enjoy there time together!
Oh ya, and that we could bring our unicycles with us, they would be so fun to drive around the resort.

Trying to run no matter the weather.

Well I set a goal to run 10 miles each week starting this January. Living in Manitoba, Canada in January running outside can be a bit "cool" jog. Week one went for two runs total 12miles, -30c with the windchill. Next week two runs, total 10miles, -25c with windchill. Then some thing happened with the weather, was -5c to +4c the next two weeks. It was icy but with some spikes on my runner I had fast fun runs. 5 weeks in and it's going, maybe all bump up the miles for march.

That brings me today with windchill feels like -25c. I have my MP3 charging, I don't want to go out side. Anyone that likes to jog has been there, good weather or bad. The times you have to make yourself go for a run. You know you will feel better after a good jog, but you have to make yourself do it. The weather was better last week. It's to cold. (Three weeks ago I was running in colder weather) I have been jogging for 9 years is this ever going to get easier. I like jogging but why is there have to be this fight with my "will" now and then.

Right now it's 3pm the sun is out, at -25 with windchill, it's as nice out as it's going to get. So with that, I'm going to put on long jonh's and two more layers, gloves, with only my eyes that are not cover up and head out. My "Will" do stay in will not win. Weather it nice out or not, here we go, I'm a jogger and I will make myself love it.

love is in the air

Valentine's is here. Hope, Love, Life & Passion. Are these thing we can feel every day? Hopfuly they are in each breath you take. Take time today to love yourself, beause you can only give love if you know how to love yourself. With out a little love each breath is not as full as it could be. Smell the cool winter air, love the way life keep rolling.

How We Roll

Here I am with my family three kids husband and my 73 year old dad. We all drive the unicycle! It all started about 8 year ago. I got my husband Dan a unicycle for our anniversary. Then my boys learned to drive at the age of 7 & 8, then me. This year my daughter learn, as well as grandpa. Nothing more wonderful then a well balance family!
