Countless hours of excessive whining and insufficient napping left me at the end of my rope. I tried to keep my cool all day, but I was boiling just beneath the surface, and I knew I needed a release. I tucked the kids into bed at 7:45 then snuck out for a much-needed, sanity-saving run. I'm not normally an evening runner because I don't like to run in the dark (and I'm usually dog tired by the time the kids head to bed). Thanks to DST, however, I was able to enjoy a sunny evening run tonight.
I returned to my house feeling in control of my emotions, refreshed, and pleasantly exhausted. I even peeked in on my sleeping kids to remind myself that even through our days are not perfect, I am truly blessed. A run and sleeping angel faces helped give me renewed perspective and peace. I owe you one, DST!
