Chasing away Chubby

*sigh* Well, today was just a wash.  I got absolutely nothing done.  I am super sleepy and I am in a rotten mood!  There is someone in my life who I love dearly who is really getting on my last nerve.  She likes to go around and bad mouth me, usually to other people I love regarding my parenting skills.  Well, first of all there is nothing wrong with my parenting skills.  I am a competant parent, though as a single mother I am a little stretched at times, but basically a good mother. I have degrees in Early childhood Development and Education so I am not a complete imbecile when it comes to raising my kids. The problem is with her.  She is always insinuating that my kids are dirty, that they don’t get baths, that I am not a good mother, really the list could go on for days.  I am just sick of it.   My Sis3 told me today that she was looking at my youngest’s foot.  He has a blister on the side of his foot.  Now this is in the late afternoon.  He refuses to wear shoes because the blister hurts.  He has been playing in the sandbox, the swimming pool, in the dirt with his trucks…so by this time he is thoroughly filthy.  So they have pulled up his band-aid and are looking at his blister and she says to Sis3 “I wonder when is the last time he had a bath?”  Ummm…last night!!!!   I about went ballistic.  I am sorry that you are so unhappy with yourself that you must always dog out everyone around you about something or another.  I am sorry that you blew your job as a parent and your eldest is living away from home and we suspect she’s on drugs, and i am sorry that your self esteem is so low that you feel like you must kick whatever you can find to make yourself feel better, but I have about had it!  #1…I am a good mother.  My kids are smart!  The eldest is a christian, an active member of his youth group,  makes honor roll, read the newest harry Potter book in a day and a half (all 799 pages of it) and is an all around good kid!  Ds2 is an outstanding athlete, soccer superstar, who also is on honor roll, who also just happens to be the great, white, fisherman of the entire family!  My daughter is exceptionally sweet and beautiful, she can run like the wind and is gonna be an amazing dancer.  She is very bright as well.  My youngest is an imaginative, sweet heart that is such a blessing.  He loves everything  around him. He is so fun to watch and he is so smart as well. So for my kids to be so great, I can’t be doing such a bad job!!! So what if they get dirty running outside and playing and being kids…they are kids!  So what if my house isn’t in perfect order, yes there are stains on my carpet.  I have kids, they spill stuff!  I am a single mother.  I don’t have a loving husband to back me up if I can’t do something.  It is all on me.  She is a vindictive bitch who is obviously miserable with her life!  She can bite me.   I wish I could say I feel better after that rant, but I don’t.  I need to tell her off to her face.

I did the coolrunnings running workout today.  I ran for 90 seconds walked for 90 seconds.   I did that for 20 minutes.  Man my ankles really hurt!  Then I walked very slowly.  I had planned to do more, but my legs were killing me.  I decided my body was telling me it needed a break.  So I stopped at 2 miles, at total of 43 minutes.  It was so slow because I kept stopping and stretching.  It didn’t help though!  Then tonight Sis#3 came out and we walked another 2 miles, pushing a 40 pound stroller containing DS3. I ran a few times too, but nothing major. Tomorrow I am just gonna walk.  No running.  Give my body a break before the camping trip.
