Riddle Me This

February 3, 2010

How can one have the worst run of one’s life and one of the best runs within 48 hours of each other?
That’s the question I am pondering deeply here. I’ll be back to discuss this phenomenon further.

Meanwhile, TODAY IS A GOOD DAY!
As I was walking Thing 2 down the hallway to her preschool class, in front of us was a woman in a black, sleeveless unitard. This unitard caught my attention because it featured a 12″ thick fishnet panel that circled the abdominal area all the way around. And of course, because this is how my life goes, the top of her butt crack was winking out the mesh ‘window’ above the solid black part that thankfully concealed the remainder of her rear view. Apparently it is my station in life to be behind people like these.

Just as I noticed this, um unitard malfunction, Thing 2 points at the woman and exclaims: “Mom LOOK!”
Warning alerts, bells and whistles sound in my head as I consider for a nanosecond, clapping my hand over her mouth but know darn well any attempt at shutting her up will be in vain. I brace for code red calibur embarrassment and humiliation. Thing 2 continues on: “that lady is going to be very cold with no sleeves today!”

Like I said, a good day! What’s good in your life today?

marciashealthyslice I'm a working mom who, as part of a mid-life challenge, decided to run a marathon for kicks. I didn't plan on it becoming a hobby, but it did. I qualified for Boston at my second marathon and finished the 6 World Marathon Majors in London in 2019. Set no small goals. You never know what you're capable of until you try!
