country living.

well crap.
today was a day where living in the country was for the BIRDS!

so many days i love love love it. most days i love it. the small town life, really is something awesome.
except for today.

i just had an agenda. and i wanted time, in town, by myself.
selfish much?

anyways... my plans did not happen. more important things happened. like splitting wood for hours and hours for tyler. not very fun things. things that i am zero help with.

i was just so frustrated! i couldn't even put my finger on WHY. i just was! grrr. i wanted to cry!

so... i threw on my workout clothes, and put callie down for a nap, and put on a christmas movie, and i got on my treadmill and ran. and ran. and ran. i managed a whopping FIVE MILES. a distance that i haven't ran in way too long. and man, i was all fixed. and i felt so much better. and i managed to salvage the rest of the day and make it ok.

i am learning about country life. i am adjusting. that's a question i get asked ALOT. "how are you adjusting?" it makes me feel better.. that there is an expected adjustment time. i feel like i get a pass to have crappy days occasionally. days where i just want to run to the grocery store without planning 3 hours for it. ya know?

it's crazy how quick i can get consumed in the silliest things! how quick i can be to forget the really important things in life. how quick i can be to forget how blessed i am.

dang this natural man thing. it's just not fair! haha!
