I found out my sons grades-finally-yesterday morning. To say they were less than stellar is being kind. I was pissed!!! Don't get me wrong, I know freshman year can gone one of two ways-either great grades or crappy ones. Well, he got crappy ones. He passed all his courses this semester (thank you God) but thats really all I can say. I guess I was hoping he'd do better-what was I thinking. He's an 18 year old boy away at college for the first time-what was I thinking??? Well, I still got very upset. It's alot of money that I pay without help of financial aid or anyone else, so it's stressful.
Instead of getting angry at him I went for a run to clear my head! And that is ALL the run was suppose to accomplish-clearing my head! It worked! But it was a shitty, slow, sunny, warm, hill-filled and cry-filled run! otherwise known as CRAP! I so wanted to quit at 1.5 miles-but thanks to some of my twitter friends, I didn't!! I stopped and sat in one of my favorite parks while Velcro looked for squirrels. I cranked Ministry and ended up running 5.1 miles. Hey, not bad considering I was quiting material 1.5 miles in!
My girl, as always, was with me on this run! And she was fantastic. When I'd cry she'd get very upset and come and comfort me-she doesn't like when mom cries! It was awesome having that unconditional love from Velcro on this run!! Makes me cry thinking about her devotion to me-wow, animals are the best!!
I got home and felt so much better!!! Wow, amazing what a run can do to clear your head. It sucked from a running standpoint but was just what the doctor ordered for de-stressing!
The rest of the day was spent doing nothing-had to run my sons girlfriend to the train station. She came to visit since it's his birthday today, he's 19. Yikes, I have a 19 year old?????
Last nite I went out! I know ****alert the press**** I went out and stayed out until midnight **GASP** Unheard of, and might not happen for a long time! But last nite was the final LA performance of the GLEE tour. I had been given the opportunity to buy tickets back in Feb-so I did. Show my support for my GLEEks and have fun with some friends. I ended up going with my friend N and AKA Alice and her daughter, Drama Girl. Drama Girl is a GLEEk...so it was SO EXCITING for me to be able to share my job with her and AKA Alice. We watched the show then went backstage and Drama Girl met almost all of the GLEEks and got her picture taken. I sure hope she and AKA Alice had a good time!! Sorry for keeping everyone out late last night. it was kinda fun having a "pretend daughter" I didn't go to bed until 1am **GASP** hence my sleepiness all day today!!
But it didnt stop me from going to the Best friends Animal Super Adoption today at Westchester park....OMG, I could have gone home with all of those amazing animals that were there-I sure hope alot got adopted!!!
Saturday: RUN: 5.1 miles with my trusty companion, Velcro (1:15)

Oh, Penny, I'm so sorry to hear that. ::big big hugs:: I'm so glad Velcro is such a sensitive kid and sensed her mom's sadness.
I'm so glad you made a healthy decision to run, and I'm grateful to your Twitter friends who helped you keep going.
I'm glad the run helped! *HUGS!*
I'm so out of the loop and not hip... I've never heard of GLEEks, but that's pretty cool. It sounds like you all had a great time!
I so wish I could have gone to that show. Fun stuff. I said this on Saturday, but cleansing runs are good.
running is great for clearing the mind and dropping some of that stress.

Teenagers, can't live with them, can't sell them for parts to the nearest medical school.
I am glad you had a therapeutic run!
Hell yes, I am down for Angel Island! Let me know if you can do it,. I don't want you to stress you out I know you have a lot going on. If I did not have my hubby issue going I would come your way and depending how things go I just may be able to do that, or at least meet you half way.
Very sweet thing you did for DramaGirl. You are such a doll.
Hang in there girl!
Hi, nice blog & good post. You have beautifully maintained it, you must try this website which really helps to increase your traffic. hope u have a wonderful day & awaiting for more new post. Keep Blogging!
Don't be too hard on the kid. One of our good family friends was head of Cardiology at Hoag. He almost flunked out his first year in college. As I tell my kids, do it once - it's a mistake. Do it twice and figure out how to pay for college on your own (just kidding...).
Way to get out and be social! That's a great picture of you, Alice and Drama Girl!
Way to gut it out and get the miles done!
hang in there penny. it took me a year to get my head on straight the first time i went to college. now i am the class suck up. :)
there are no words to express my love for glee! i am praying that by loving the show it won't be the kiss of death for it. as it seems to me, especially fox, networks tend to cancel shows i love. :(
