The summer helps me to appreciate the winter...so do my kids. |
My kids are typically good sleepers, but recently, we have had a string of sleepless nights. In the middle of the night, we have heard screams of "My knee hurts!" (growing pains?) "I'm wet!!!" (Pull-up failed.) "I can't find Sasha!" (The babydoll. Seriously?!) And "I spit up!" (I would have said "puked"...all over the bed and floor and IN the bedframe...twice.) So when I went to bed last night and didn't wake again until this morning when my alarm went off, let's just say I haven't been so appreciative for a full night's sleep in quite a while.
I also was appreciative of a recent great run (even on freshly snow-covered roads) after numerous slow, exhausting, horrible runs that made me wonder what ever could have possessed me to sign up for a May race.
So happy to have had a great run that I am including this totally awful picture taken right after. |
And as good as that snowy run was, it made me appreciate the 60 degree run around the lake a few days later even more. And on my way home, when it suddenly poured and then stopped, I certainly appreciated the beautiful rainbow that filled the sky.
