Today was easier mentally somehow. Some days I dread the running around the block and some days I just buckle down and do it. I had a few adventures last night that I thought I'd share for comedy relief or otherwise. The first adventure wasn't funny. A girl lost control of her bike and totally wasn't paying attention to traffic (she was talking on a cell phone and riding a bike!). I came within about a foot of hitting her. Luckily I was going slow and paying at least enough attention to see the poor thing. I stopped and got out to make sure she was okay and she admitted to talking on her phone and said she'd be more careful. Shook me up a bit. Then I headed off to hide one of Jenny's birthday presents. We love to go geo-caching for FHE activities sometimes. We decided to combine it with the kids runs and picked a spot about 1.5 miles away from our house with access to the trail. That would be right in front of our own LuzyLew's house. I decided to not bug Luz and just hide it on the trail..although I would have loved to see her. They came and found the present and then started running home while I drove with the little ones. I had left the radio on a couple of times without the engine running so when the car wouldn't start I of course suspected that the battery had died. It was already a little after nine so I was a little embarrassed (but relieved I knew someone) to knock on Luz's door after all and ask for a jump. The jump didn't work and Sasha had to come and rescue us. Two minutes after he got there he had the car running.....<blush>...I didn't have it fully in gear. We laughed about it but I'm still embarrassed. To make matters worse I left my purse on her front porch. I joked that I made it all up so I could see her...she is a fun friend. Hopefully today goes better. ;)
