Yesterday was an awful day. I had a day full of whiny kids and horrific cramps. About 4, I took 3 naproxin and by 6, was wishing I'd taken 4. By 8:30 I was exhausted and ready for bed. We brought the kids home from their play date and got ready for bed. Scripture reading didn't go very well. The kids were literally bouncing off the walls. *where do they get the energy?* Simon bounced off the bed and I had my own 3 year old moment and gave up on recounting the story of King Benjamin. I went into my room, ignored Chris's advice that I rise above it, and went to bed. My sleep was crummy, but I found myself awake at 6am with fierce cramps. I laid there for 20 minutes before deciding that I was going to take a different action today. I went downstairs, and got in my workout gear. Grabbed the ipod and earbuds and went for a run. I am not a great runner; I'm more of a power walker. But, with Norbert Leo blasting in my ear *Thank you Jason Robert Brown for inspiring his lyrics* I ran just over a mile, and power walked another. 2 miles of no cramping pain. Norbert Leo Butz has a way of reaching a level of emotion in his singing that I've never felt before. He really brings you to where he is in the music and I respect that. His voice is also completely incredible. I've you've never heard "The last 5 years," I strongly encourage you to do so. I feel energized, and a bit better than yesterday. While I'm sure the fury of the ovaries will strike again, I feel that I took charge of my day early, and hopefully I'll keep the leading role of my attitude for the day. I hope to get to go through the SL temple today with my sister. But for now, there's laundry to fold...isn't there always?
