Last night I had a serious sinking spell and took a little cap nap around 6:30 or so. As I’m laying in my recliner thinking how good it would feel to go ahead and go to bed I also had a thought of how nice it would be to go for a walk with my faimly. I half way sat up and asked Zale if he wanted to go for a walk. He actually thought maybe I was talking in my sleep. I guess it does seem a bit strange to go from being knocked out to walking around the neighborhood.
We somehow mustered up enough energy to get the girls together and get out the door. I couldn’t talk Anthony into going, begging didn’t even help. As we get outside Zale gets a call from a previous client who needs his services again. And I think while we were walking he got a couple of other calls. I imagine that when the law office is more established and we’re not so broke I won’t be too thrilled about Zale taking business calls at 7:00 while we’re having family time. But for now it doesn’t bother me a bit and I’m thanking God for His provision! We were out about an hour, we walked three times around the neighborhood and stopped to talk to some new friends while we were out. I even ran a little bit with the stroller. Reagan was grinning and Hannah was yelling “go faster, go faster!”
This afternoon Hannah asked to go for a walk again. It looked like it was going to storm, but I figured we could make it around the neighborhood once or twice before it starting raining. We made it around three times with Hannah wanting more. It never did rain, but I was ready to go inside. Unfortunately, on our way back in the house, Reagan fell and scraped her knees. She’s a pretty tough little girl and didn’t cry too much. Not even when I was cleaning her up and she loves the Hello Kitty Band aids.
I LOVE taking walks! My husband and I recently tried a new trail in our area and I liked it so much that I’ve made my kids join me on walks there as well.
Sorry to hear about the scraped knees. I hope she’s not going to be like my oldest daughter who ALWAYS seems to be hurt.
Feeling tired tonight Callie and this was a great reminder to go for a walk/job this evening! Good work and thanks!
