Better Run, Better Run

I have these moments where I just want to slip on some running shoes, lace them up, and take off. I guess I want to feel the wind against my face and watch the world pass me by, feeling the earth beneath my feet. Maybe part of me just wants to run away, whether it be from my problems or to leave my life behind for just a moment. If only I had the endurance to run without feeling like I’m going to die; I have plans to build up my endurance, maybe I’ll get there someday.

I sound like I’m unhappy with where my life is at, but honestly, that couldn’t be more far from the truth. I just have this habit of letting things build up within me, and I need a release. An outlet to let go of both the good and bad things that build up within me.

This week is going to be a busy one, for sure. Thursday I’m babysitting after work, Friday we’re going on a field trip with all of the preschoolers, and Saturday Johnny and I are waking up early to head out to Pittsburgh. He may be racing at a nostalgia event, but if that doesn’t work out, we’re still going to spend the day out there. Johnny wants to go to the race regardless, but there’s a chance that it’ll get rained out. I told him I want to go to the Pittsburgh zoo, we’ll see who wins. 🙂 Johnny’s friend, Brandon will be with us too. Maybe I could somehow convince Johnny to call in sick on Sunday, so we don’t have to worry about driving back to town after a long day on Saturday. Hmm.

This weekend has been nothing more than a waste. Johnny managed to get me sick, so I’ve spent the majority of my time in bed. I know I’ve kind of been making it out to be worse than it really is, but I have to head back to work tomorrow, and the last thing I need is to be sick at work. Standing up and walking around is definitely NOT fun, and working with a class full of three-year-olds is definitely not a cake walk, so relaxing is definitely important in order to feel better.

I finished Ugly Betty on Netflix the other day, now I’m watching Make It or Break It. I don’t know what it is about these cheesy sitcoms, I’m addicted to them. haha

A few weeks ago I won a free haircut from the radio station and I got my hair cut that Friday, I dyed it a darker shade of brown the following day, and I deep conditioned it afterward. It’s amazing what a haircut can do for your self-esteem. I got so many compliments on it, and overall I just felt better about myself. I definitely need to take some time to pamper myself, especially because of how busy I tend to be. Plus, it makes me feel better about myself, and what could possibly be wrong with that?

I woke up this morning to a cool breeze blowing in through my window. Fall is almost here and I couldn’t be more excited. Fall is one of my favorite seasons, if not my most favorite. There’s just something about the leaves changing color, the air becoming crisp and cool, pumpkins, apples, hay. I love seeing the leaves change color on the mountains. When the leaves fall off the tree, leaving an icky brown look behind… that I could do without, though.

Well, I think I’ve run out of things to say. It’s almost time for me to go to sleep, even though it’s only a little after 9. Johnny may show up tonight, he’s done that a few times on his night home, and nothing is better than waking up to his warm body sliding into bed next to me.

Actually, I do have something else to write about, but I’ll save it for another entry as it’s worthy of an entry all on its own. Mothers… hah.
