Grass Stains...

Today was a good day. We got up early, and I fixed breakfast. Then we watched a little TV. After that, we went for a walk up to the little park next to the complex's pool. I relaxed for a while and read while they played some more. I pushed Logan on the swing--he still hasn't gotten the hang of it yet. After they got hot and thirsty, we walked up to the Swifty Mart. We
got sodas and push-pop ice creams. Well, I got bottled water. The kids ate their ice cream and played some more. Meanwhile, Lynn, my room-mate's friend drove by. I couldn't figure out why at first she parked and was coming over to us. The kids had began to play with a
ball that they'd found there at the park. Lynn said that she left the apartment (she comes over to use roomie's computer) and that she locked up and forgot her phone. She wanted to ask me to let her back in to get it, instead of waking up my room mate who'd been working all day
and night. Well, meanwhile these two boys come over and are talking to Lexie and Logan. Lynn says to all the kids, let's play kick-ball!

This ended up being a pivotal moment for me in my weight loss. I was able to run, jump, slide and do just about everything I wanted to do while playing with these kids. I slid into 2nd base once! I was so happy, I wasn't watching the time at all. Pretty soon, Lexie and Logan were beat, and the two boys were saying they had to go home, and Lynn really needed to get her phone, and it was almost five o'clock! You know, with the good always comes the bad...the two boys not only referred to Lynn as "my wife", but they kept calling me "pops". Ugh. I feel young and old at the same time...
