I ran a 5K the other day. I was so out of shape. It took me entirely too long to run the race. To surprise me, waiting at the finish line was Abby, Paige and Daddy. I saw them, crossed the finish line and had to hold back tears from my disappointment in myself. Having them there really helped my attitude though. WELL.. We got in the car, and Abby gently states, "No offense mommy, but WOW, that took you SO long!" (ok Abby buckle up).. "No really!! even little kids came in before you!" (ok Abby lets be quiet). " We were waitng and waiting forever! Even old old people came in before you!.. I mean, no offense mommy." "Thank you Abby", I said. (I just find it impossible to squelch the honesty of a child.. But that day, I wish she would have lied.
