Yep, Idiotic

I had been thinking off and on about running the 10K on Grand Island. I had decided not to do it, because I didn't want to do it by myself. I had mentioned it to Benjamin, but didn't really get any reply.

Fast forward to Monday.

I just signed up to run the 10K. I really don't know what I am thinking. Did I lose my mind? No, but it is going to be a VERY LONG 5 1/2 months. I started training on Tuesday. Yep, I am one of the slowest runners in America. My goal.... finish. I do need all the encouragement I can get, so please encourage when you see me.

Today, the office is pretty slow, but who does want to go out into the "armpit of the world"? Me either. School was cancelled, so I don't have any piano lessons to teach today. My day is going to consist of laundry, training, and maybe even a little walk with the dogs (if I feel motivated enough to walk outside.)

ENCOURAGE ME TO FINISH!!!

My Life Is Not My Own Anymore

Wow, has it been a long time since I have been on here. I can't believe how fast time flies. I thought I would drop in and tell everyone a little of what has happened to my life. As the title has told you, I no longer have a life of my own. It is all consumed by others. You are probably starting to ask yourself, "Heidi is single with no kids. How can she not have a life?"

I start to ask myself the same thing. But wait, just because I am not married and do not have children, does not mean I do not have a family of my own!!! Benjamin, although not my husband, does demand time. Obviously, I give him time willingly, but time for him, is time NOT for me. I do love him and I do love spending time with him, but even for the last few days, the hours I have after work and exercising are not spent with him! Now, you are really starting to ask yourself, "What in the world is she talking about?"

Yes, what in the world am I talking about? Beretta and Benelli. They have consumed every waking moment of my life. Oh wait, that is not entirely true, because Bullet does get some time out of my day as well. My two baby girls are so full of energy, it is unbelievable. They can play HARD for 3 hours straight! This has a quick 2 minute potty break scheduled in it, but as soon as they are done, they are ready to play again. The house is now totally Beretta and Benelli proof. Are you wondering what kind of babies I have?

German Short Hair Pointers. The most adorable pups you have ever seen.

Although I have no time for myself, I am starting to realize, that I don't need as much Heidi time as I would have thought. One day, once a month? That's what it is at right now. I bet the mother's that are reading this right now are saying, "I wish I had one day, once a month. That would be miraculous." I will probably get to that point. Don't you worry.
