The OH CRAP Button

This is how my day started: The dogs were bugging me to be let out. It was sometime before 6 am and I was at my parents' house. As I was making my way back to bed, I heard my phone ringing. Odd, I thought...but probably just the hubs calling after working all night. WRONG. Three missed text messages and one missed phone call later, I realized.....I had traded a co-worker so she could have today off and QUITE OBVIOUSLY forgot! CRAP. Not only was I *late* (understatement), I was 65 miles away at my parents' house. Not quite two hours later, I made it to work. I felt terrible because someone had been working all night and had to wait until I arrived to go home. EPIC FAIL. Thank gosh I felt tired last night and went to bed early.


So I am now in debt to my poor co-worker and my poor husband. Ty had worked all night, and got up from a dead sleep to meet me at work to pick up the dogs.

Otherwise, it has been a pretty decent weekend. I ran a 5k yesterday, which I was supposed to walk. I also PR'd it....which isn't saying much since I haven't competed in a 5k (for a time) in several years. I'm not going to lie though...it felt pretty good knowing I beat my best 5k time injured and without training for it. That being said, it is time to hang up the running shoes for awhile (again). The injury is not healed and I really need to STOP running...but I can't. I won't. I really don't want to. :( I am making a vow right here and now to NOT RUN for one entire week. I am allowing myself pool running and walking, but only if it is an emergency. I think taking the whole week off from exercise in general is needed for proper healing. I have some TV to catch up on anyways...

Friday was a good day. I met with a group of girls from church. I am super excited for ae event we are putting together called the Butterfly Project. It is going to be offered to under-privileged or troubled women in our community. We will be providing free haircuts/styles, make-up, help with resumes, a photo session, and some life coaching. I am very much looking forward to this ministry.

I was also blessed to be able to ride my horse on Friday. Has someone been riding my horse secretly and not telling me about it? This horse is four years old and acts like I ride her every day. I'm in love.


I hope you're having a good weekend!! I also hope you didn't read this post and remember you had to work today. Haha. Happy Sunday.

  1. Isn't that the worst when you 100% forget about something?! It literally is the most bizarre feeling! Glad you had a great weekend otherwise!

    1. Totally...I was thinking last night before I went to sleep that I was forgetting something. Like a birthday...or..an appointment...but NOT something monumental like work!!

  2. Be careful with your injury!! I know how tempting it is to run when you know you shouldn't but trust me, its not worth it. Soon you will be healed and out there enjoying the sunshine once again :)
