Running Coach from Hell....

I am training for the Bridge to Bridge run in October. (10k but that is quite a stretch for "old Gina"). I have been getting up at 6:00am to run. Today, Riley decides he is going to go with me. Aww. Nice right?
So 2.5k into the run, Riley is not winded or remotely perspiring... he is actually SKIPPING next to me and chatting away as I drag my sorry cardiovascular system back from the brink of death!
At the end of the run he says that he thinks he can help me. A direct quote: "I think if I put a yoke on you, like an oxen, and I chased behind you with a pair of those fake chattery teeth on a stick, I could try to bite you with the teeth... and you could maybe run a bit faster."

Gee, thanks. That sounds super fun... and would not look at all strange. Also, you can kiss all your future birthday presents goodbye.

Uhh.... Inappropriate McDonell Moment #6,347.... Surprise! (not)

Toby walks over to the couch and throws himself over the side to land on me... nice. He then proceeds to kiss me (totally G-Rated I swear!) Jensen (age 7) comes running in the room and shouts, "HEY THERE! Let me in! I want to have some sex with you too!"

Calling therapist.... right after I change clothes from wetting my pants from laughing.... sigh. Never a dull moment... and very often those moments are filed in the "INAPPROPRIATE" category.
