Night Running...

...deserves a quiet night. I love R.E.M. I need to put some on my ipod so I can sing that while I run.

So- running at night is my new obsession. I LOVE it. You would think it would be more motivating to be at the gym and have people around me (you know...I would run longer because people were watching me!), but I have discovered that I can go forever at night. It's dark, and quiet and cool. Just me and my music. Oh my gosh. It feels so great. And then I sleep SO much better after a run and a hot shower. Heaven. Maybe if I can keep it up, I will actually start losing some of that weight that is making me so depressed!

As for other random ramblings, I took the kids to McDonald's tonight so that I wouldn't have to cook for or entertain them. It was quite nice. They filled up on nuggets and fries and apple dippers and then played on the slides for an hour while I read a book. Hazel said "This is my best life ever."

Mine too, dear....mine too.

And when she plays with her harmonica, she calls it her Lukeledian.

I used to love McDonalds - all enclosed, and plenty for kids to eat and play on, and a calm breather for me. That Ronald McDonald was a GENIUS, I tell you.
Yay for you with the running!

I love that she said this was her best life ever. That is beyond precious.

I laughed out loud at this- nothing stresses me more than feeding my kids. I don't know why. I'm glad they played that long for you- my kids have a twenty-minute threshold. We were also at McDonald's today- and not thirty seconds after I placed our big drink on the table (we were all sharing- a Jewkes thing!), Kate spilled the completely full cup all over the floor. They mopped it up and a few minutes later a little boy was running around and slipped and fell on his back and hit his head. Oh, I felt so bad.
