SomeBUNNY was here. Hid some eggs. And then he bounced away. 🐰

Can anyone guess which egg is Mommy's?

I am confused. How is this "less mess"?

Not too shabby for missing 2/5 of the days this week. #swimmom #swimmomlife

@brenebrown you came into my life via a Ted Talk when I was newly widowed. Your Ted Talk was life changing. I wish I had these words at that time. It would have saved me a lot of drama. #areadingfromthegospelaccordingtobrenebrown 🙌

Ignore the naysayers in the cheap seats. #areadingfromthegospelaccordingtobrenebrown #daretolead #readersofinstagram #instareaders

Dinner with my bestie (and son). @jennifer.muthig

Tonight my daughter and I grabbed a few items at a local grocery store. The store wasn't busy and the trip was uneventful. As I was putting my daughter into her carseat, an older, angry, unkempt looking man yelled something to me. I didn't catch what he was saying except I heard something about going back to New York. He was a smart one. A real Sherlock. In a split second, I had a choice. I could play into the New York stereotype and give him the finger. But instead I just smiled and waved and said "I'm actually from here. Thanks for the nice welcome home!" Now in full disclosure, if my 4 year old wasn't with me, I probably would have added "asshole" or "dick" to my reply. A few years ago, I would have been so upset at what the old, angry, unkempt man would have said. I would have been worked up and spent too much time stressing out about it. But now, I know I did nothing wrong. Having NY plates is not a crime. Being in a life transition is not a crime. Driving a Subaru is not a crime. And my daughter wasn't particularly hyper or obnoxious that shopping trip. But even if she was, that isn't a crime. No, this man was acting nasty because he wasn't feeling good about himself on the inside. That is why I am sharing this story. If someone acts nasty towards you and you are sure you weren't being an asshole, don't let them lower your vibrational energy. It's okay to say "no thank you" and reject it. Don't let others misery ruin your sparkle. And I hope older, nasty, angry, unkempt man figures out why he is so miserable and that he is able to raise his own vibration.

So much concentration.

Way to go Maddy! Graduated to the next level of swimming classes. #proudmama

Day three of the fluffy white stuff falling from the sky.

I saw a meme on Facebook today that said "April Showers bring Snow Plowers" 😂😂😂

Breakfast. Come and get it.

I need a nap but this one needs to burn off energy.

Post race lunch. @lthompson44

Haven't run 3 miles in a very long time. This should be fun. @lthompson44
