N's first 10K marathon

This morning started out great.  I even had some motivation to go to the gym!  But after N & I got all ready, which took roughly forever, I couldn't find the keys to the car.  Turns out my husband had managed to take all 4 sets of car keys with him to work.  They were in his jacket pockets,  his pants pockets, and who knows where else on his body they were.  I mean how can you even accidentally have 4 car keys with you at one time? 

So N and I decided to just go on a walk.  On the walk I remembered it was  Garage sale FRIDAY. Not long after seeing the first sign I noticed my pace was now up to a fast jog...I get so excited for these stupid sales.  I didn't bring any money with me but figured I probably wouldn't find anything anyway.

After another MILE we finally arrived at our destination..HEAVEN.  Thomas the train, booster seat, puzzles, semis, bikes, race car tracks, etc, etc, etc.  N saw a school bus toy and started screaming "DOO DA!" I took a deep breath, put the brakes on Nolan's stroller,  and tried to control my own excitement.  I went up and told the lady I didn't have cash but only live down the street (small lie).  She kindly responded what I took as "yes" in a different language.

After I had filled up a box and they had put it aside for me, N and I went home to get our money. (I couldn't wait for my husband to get home with the FOUR sets of keys because the garage sale would be closed by then).

N & I finally got home, had snacks, and were off again.  Only three more miles to go. When we finally got back to the sale there were 100 more things I wanted, but I calmly told myself it was not possible for me to carry everything and I needed to remove myself from the garage sale.  The ladies somehow managed to help me fit everything in or on top of my stroller (Speaking a different language to each other the whole time- I assume talking about me being nuts).

 N was still happy which really helped.  But I did notice we lost a shoe.

I didn't think the trip home would be that bad, despite the fact I really couldn't see anything in front of me. Then the things on top of the stroller started falling with every bump I hit.  And his annoying Thomas the trains packed underneath the stroller were constantly singing songs. In the last 1 1/2 miles home I quietly verbally assaulted my husbands name, left him a nasty voicemail that I'm not proud of and will probably get yelled at for when he gets home tonight, and sulked to myself.  When we ran into N's  lost shoe on the way home my mood became a little better again.

 Did I walk 6 miles today? yes!  Did I get lots of fabulous purchases for N for only $18? yes! Did I buy a used potty training seat? yes!  Is that probably really disgusting? yes! Did I get a $5 discount on my purchases because the foreign ladies couldn't do math? yes!  Did I lose 5 lbs from all that walking? yes! Did I eat 5 lbs of ice cream when I got home? yes! Am I going to have a drink tonight? yes!
