This morning I woke up to my sweet 3 yr old wanting to cuddle in bed with me and watch cartoons. I love this of course and I put the tv on right away, Only to find it did not work. I grab the blankies and head downstairs with my son to use the other tv for snuggle time. Unfortunately that one was not working either. At this point in time now I am feeling annoyed and my little one no longer wants to snuggle. I proceed with my usual morning until I can get a min to call the cable provider. After an hr and a half on the phone with tec. support I now have one working tv and it is not the one in the family room. So now I am not just annoyed I am pissed off. To be honest I don't watch much tv during the day so not having a tv does not bother me at all. What bothered me was the fact that I spent an hr and a half dealing with the issue and it still was not fixed.
I was in a bad mood and I knew that my morning was shot but in order to make it a good afternoon I had to blow off some steam. It is a very good thing I own a treadmill. I waited until the children all went down for nap (wait did I tell you all that I watch kids out of my home?) and got on. I knew I could not use my mp3 player because I needed to be able to hear if the kids woke up so it was not my favorite run, that's for sure. That said I was able to get three miles in before I heard a little voice from the top of my stairs that said "I'm awake now" I had wanted to go more but 3miles was enough to change my mood around and gave me just what I needed to enjoy an afternoon filled with little boys. It is amazing to me how a simple run on the treadmill can do so much for not just the body but for the mind too.
I am happy to say that my mood continued to improve throughout the afternoon and evening... even though my tv still is NOT working!
