I am doing it. Geneology! My gen-e-o-lo-gy! Sorry, that's a song that's sung by the youth in our church and every time I say, "I am doing it" - it creeps in. And makes me crabby! Not CRABBY crabby. Just you know, irritated. It also happens whenever I say, "Not last night, but the night before." I automatically add "24 robbers came a'knockin at my door!"

ANYWAY.

I am doing it! (Not geneology.)

A 5K!

With my daughter!

We signed her up for Girls On The Run program. She and I are both so excited! Well, that's not a completely true statement. She's super excited and I am excited to be part of this with her... BUT I hate running. I don't like things bouncing around. However, it's not for me that I'm doing this. I am doing it for HER. I think this has to be the ultimate Mother-daughter date!
There is just so much negativity out there... and it's over the dumbest things! My daughter now won't drink V-8 with her lunch because the kids make fun of her for liking it. We've been trying to provide her with things to do such as saying, "Oh man!!! You are missing out!" and walking away. I hate that she let's others influence her and how she feels about herself. Criminy - she's EIGHT years old!

Sigh.

In any case, we're hoping that along with this program, and our continual coaching - you know, positive parenting, she'll finally grasp that beautiful fact, SHE is a BEAUTIFUL Daughter of our Heavenly Father!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to go die exercise.
