My Pants Look Like a Snicker Wrapper

It's a Saturday morning, and for once we are having a laid back day. Work and my personal life have been so hectic lately (ok, the last 10 years); it's a difficult time. I am basically sacrificing all my personal time and activities in the name of driving over two hours a day to get my kids where they need to be, and to properly take care of the new dog. When I move in March, all that will come to a screeching halt, and I just can't wait!

In the meantime, I am trying to make the best of it. Last week I realized all my pants were tight. That's only depressing because it's evidence that I haven't been doing anything for two months. Today I decided I can't wait any longer, I'm going to have to figure it out somehow. The only way I can schedule a run or anything where I'm sure it will get done, will be to get up at 4:30 a.m. That seems pretty impossible, but "I think" I'm going to try it. I am a night owl, so this is really a hard prospect! No matter how tired I am during the day, I get a second wind around 9 or 10:00, and then I drag ass the following day (which is every day during the week). My perfect schedule would be to stay up until 1:00 a.m., and get up at 9:00! Then I could run at 10:00 p.m., no problem! Wishful thinking...

So, today I am lounging around in a pair of sweat pants I bought when I was pregnant with Ray. Being 5'10", it's hard to find women's lounge pants that are long enough (it was a lot tougher seven years ago). So I bought a men's pair, which lasted me through my pregnancy. But I still wear them... they are comfy! Today Ray proclaimed, "Hey, mom! Your pants look like a Snicker wrapper!" That made me laugh... I'm a Snicker bar!
