Frustrating

It’s irritating to try to balance a mostly-outdoors hobby with weather issues and a husband who travels a lot. Knitting was easier in this regard. 
I’m supposed to do a hill workout on Monday, and I figured it would actually be doable with my parents here, even if Eric wasn’t; I actually spent a good chunk of time using MapMyRun to find a hill long enough to suit my needs, which is tricky around here, as most of the real hills are fairly short. But now it’s looking like storms that morning. Augh!
Don’t mind me, I’m just a bit grumpy today. Neither the boys nor I slept well last night. Gabe called me out of bed a couple of times (to fix his sheet, to turn the “nightlight” (bathroom light) back on), and Sam was in my bed when I woke up this morning. He had to have come there after 2:30, because that was when I woke up to gnawing pains in my stomach informing me that I ate too little for dinner and too early. 
On the whole, trying get everybody up and out of the house on time this morning wasn’t fun, and my run felt like I was dragging myself for seven miles by my knuckles.
I’m really looking forward to the thunderstorm that’s threatening us right now. It’s cooling things off a bit, and it feels like what the doctor ordered, psychologically: something to match my mood and carry me through it. It’s a shame that it’s likely to cancel Sam’s playground parade, but my anticipation won’t affect whether the storm comes or not, so I won’t feel shame for smiling at the dark clouds.
Rain on me!
