a funk

rough day today. for several reasons. but it went from bad to worse tonight. started pulling up weeds and hacking at bushes in the backyard. (i HATE yard work - it makes me feel like a moron because i know NOTHING about it....but i was feeling like our house is the "loser" house of the neighborhood and needed some attention). was totally in a funk tonight. so much so that i went for a run. At 8:30 at night. I ran 7 miles. i hate running at night - but tonight was good. i needed it. and i haven't run more than 4 miles in weeks. but i needed that too. i have so little time that is JUST mine. and i've been feeling it lately. here's hoping i wake up tomorrow with a happier heart!

I feel like I get in a "funk" way too often these days. I think I've just been dealing with family stuff (not the four that live in my house, but everyone else) for far too long. Years. I'm tired and just want to be selfish for me and my kids and my husband. But that is apparently not what God has called us to do for the time being. So I need to learn to handle myself better. Maybe I need an outlet like running, although I don't think running will be it :) Ha! Anywhooo...I get it about the yard. I was miserable the other day pulling weeds for like hours (although it was probably just 30 minutes) and I decided that if I hated it so much, I just wasn't going to do it. And I walked away. Ryan's going to get some weed spray and hopefully that will take care of the majority of it. I just can't keep up with it. But I do have some pretty roses these days!

i don't mind working in the yard when i come next week. i mean it. :) and maybe you need some "funky Jesus music" to help with your funk??? i have that too and we can play it really loud and dance around the house and maybe your funk will subside??? :) or we can do shred. LOL! :) love you!!!
