Another Case of the Blahs

I'm so bored with everything.  All these little challenges I've set for myself lately do not excite me at all.  I have not been journaling, nor taking pictures, not even purging.  Its quite aggravating since I'm really trying to be proactive and seek out something.

I did some gardening yesterday and that worked out nicely since its raining yet again today.  Thankfully, a friend came over for a working/play date.  I worked on the yard while our kids played and she held my baby.  Sometimes, you just have to hope that when you say thank you to someone that they really understand how much you appreciate them.  I never would have gotten everything done if she wasn't there holding my baby.  I would like to finish the yard, I have a few ideas in mind that I want to finish but the yard never quite feels finished.

Ran a five mile race on Sunday with the same friend.  This was her "half marathon."  She's been working towards the five mile race for some time and I'm so happy that she was able to accomplish it with a great time!  This gave new meaning to "running at your leisure."  I was running and enjoying it but not trying for any kind of personal best and it was nice.

I also did a breast cancer walk on Saturday in remembrance of my aunt.  We've been doing it for a few years now and I always find it so moving.  Its a celebration of life, regardless of how the cancer turned out.  I celebrated my aunt, thinking of happy times.  Its a good way to remember to focus on your health.

I've done all these things in the last few days and yet I still feel like the momentum is rather fleeting.  Today its raining, maneuvering in the rain must burn extra calories, right?  We had a crazy morning trying to get to school on time since it was a special Mothers' Day party at my son's school (we got there only 15 minutes late).  We had an enjoyable time at the party.  Another wonderfully nice mother walked my daughter with her own to their class, so I got to enjoy the party until the baby was too cranky.  Got home with a sleeping baby in the car, got on my gym clothes, and just as I'm pulling out of the driveway got a call from my son's school.  My poor boy was sick.  I just went back to the school picked everyone up and came home.  He's resting, the baby is crying, and my daughter is begging for birthday cake for lunch.  How or what should I decide to do today to make sure I feel accomplished?  Laundry, purging?  Its all just too much excitement for me.

Oh and no WW meeting today since I have been otherwise occupied.
