Frustrated with missing out on things

I missed my 4.5 mile run yesterday. I ended up working until 9 PM and just didn't feel like running. It wasn't because I was physically tired. I am just frustrated with the snarkiness that I have to put up with sometimes. And when I'm frustrated, I tend to pound my feet when I run. So I skipped it to save my knees (which, knock on wood, have not bothered me this week).

M had a birthday party at PanAm Pool and she really wanted me to take her. But I couldn't. So that added to my frustration. Poor Husband had to take her and socialize with the other moms, who are probably thinking that I don't do swimming ;-)

Today is supposed to be my long run day. It's gotta happen or I'll be really !#$%^&% mad for the rest of the week. I think I'll aim for 7.5 miles today.

It's also spring break and I wish I could take it off to be with the kids. But again, work gets in the way. And people wonder why I want to strangle the Husband sometimes. He grew up with a SAHM - I can't believe he wants his Wife to work outside the home! Oh how I long for the days where women stayed home and kept house. Seriously. I can't believe women WANT to work outside the home - hun, I've been there, done that, got the t-shirt and all I want to do is burn the t-shirt! LOL.
