Ghoulie eliptical v ST November challenge (Page 45)

skrtrnr - 2009-11-11 7:26 AM MORNING GHOULIES.

inserted off day for me today....

teacher-parent conferences.  get to go hear how well my kids are doing and to hear how wonderful they are.....for someone else. 

j/k.  they're good kids all three of them.  and im so thankful that they're growing up well.

they BETTER.  i work hard enough!


in fact, speaking of kids, i was at the register at McDs (picking up Ghoulie orders) my kids unprompted by me used their manners to ask for an Icee - excuse me, may i please have a blue raspberry....thank you.

and the lady at the cash register said, 'its so nice to children who are parented well.  who behave appropriately.  who use their manners.  i see 'all types' here and most of the kids definately are not as well behaved as your children.  you can tell you spend time with them and teach them 'right'....

how nice is that??

they Know better than to act like WILD THINGS in public.

i was never opposed, when they were younger, leaving a full grocery cart in the store, taking them to a stall in the bathroom or out to the car and swattin' their WILD THING behinds or sending them to their rooms as soon as we got home.


im glad for moments like those.  makes when they act like Wild Things a little more 'tolerable'

they're 'coming around', parenting IS a lot of hard work and to do it 'well' it takes energy/time....but oh so worth it!

and golden when you get a compliment!


so its parent teacher conferences.  and then chiropractor appt in the middle.

and hoping that i dont lose my mind when my "well-mannered" children are underfoot.

they may be WILD THINGS, but they're MY WILD THINGS.

LOL.

i TOTALLY VALUE your opinion TOM!  so thanks so much for the feedback.

my thought process was 'similiar' 

i came into the 1/2 MARY training (Hals of course) at week 3-4.  the long run was 6 miles...

i want to be able 'pick up' where i left off, w just a little 'advantage' heading into my 1/2 come MAY.

this way, ill only need to build in 4-5 weeks in prep for my Half this go round.

Love this Stacie! when we were trick-or-treating my kids said thank you and a boy who was handing out candy told his mom....they were the first to say thank you! This was about an hour into trick-or-treating! Mine know to say their manners or the candy goes back! It is one thing that I get complimented on with my kids is how respectful they are to everyone else.....now how do I get them to do this at home with each other and mom and dad????
