The Tuesday Post

Today is Tuesday. I am watching my kid drink bathwater and hoping he didn't pee in it first. I like watching him play in the water and I like not having to chase him for a few minutes.

Our day has not stopped moving. I took JAC to a different running trail. The trail starts by the airport and I knew he would enjoy watching the airplanes while we ran. It was brutally hot and my legs felt like lead. We haven't run on this trail since last year. I don't know if I looked especially tired or if people were just feeling nice but everyone who passed us cheered me on. They said, "Looking fine momma," and "You're doing great - that's a heavy load." I absolutely love encouragement and will do almost anything with a little praise.

After shopping at Target we stopped in a Rosslyn park to hear some live entertainment and meet Jess and my friend Jayna for lunch. One of the things I love most about having a kid is trying out all the free things our community has too offer. It feels a bit like a treasure hunt.

Yesterday I mowed the lawn. I'm chagrined to admit that we hadn't mowed it for a month. Our yard had transformed into a virtual jungle. It took over two hours to mow it and I think I've learned my lesson.

We're heading to the baseball game tonight. I'm hoping to get to watch Stephen Strasburg pitch. I've got a bunch of pictures to post but my legs are tired from all that mowing and running. I don't feel like going upstairs to get them. Happy Tuesday Friends!
