I don't know what I was thinking when I put on my new running shoes on and went running. Man, I have the blisters to show for it. I'm not sure what was more painful running the last two miles in the half marathon I ran earlier in the spring or these blisters on my heals. Normally I would've worn the shoes a few times walking around before I put them on to go running, but apparently my lack of judgement yesterday was enticing me to a week of pain.
I was blessed with the last two pairs of shoes I purchased that never gave me blisters. Unfortunately, when I went to purchase the same shoe that style didn't have my size anymore so I had to go with same shoe, but newer version. I hate that the shoe manufacturers always have to update their styles. When I find a good shoe I usually buy 2 to 3 of the same shoe at a time (I usually have to buy new running shoes every 3 to 4 months. I know that's a lot, but I put a lot of miles on my shoes. Have to keep the joints happy.) Well I went through those pairs so now I'm back to square one. Now off to the store to buy more band aids.

Holy Terror 7
I'm not sure why the terrible 2's were such a big deal. I've discovered that the age of seven for Child #2 has become a holy terror between the back talking, teasing her sisters, yelling, fighting with her sisters and the sneaky, conniving, devious, trouble making crap she pulls. Hence I am coining the phrase Holy Terror Seven. This definitely goes back to my theory of every child is born with their personality. I'm not sure parenting has too much influence anymore.
After this summer, I'm not sure if I will be willing to take my kids on a vacation next year. I love traveling and I want my children to experience great things about the world outside of our little town that is just a spec on the map. Unfortunately, their behavior this summer was extremely disappointing. It has almost drove me back to getting a job. Interesting thought. I will sleep on that one. Thankfully school starts in a week and the life sucking world of club soccer has begun. We will be back in top notch shape. Maybe my memory of this summer will fade like the memory of pain from child birth. Who knows. Happy new school year everyone!
