inspiration

even though she didn't have to work

hk got up at 4:45 and went to the

gym with me on monday morning...

even though she didn't have to work

hk got up at 5:20 and went to the 

gym with me on tuesday morning...

and this morning...

well,

here's what happened...

i was going to get up at 4:45 

and go to the gym for a spin class...

hk was going to go to the gym

at some point today...

in the middle of the night

it came a gally gap slinger...

not really sure where this

term came from, but

i heard someone say it once

about a really bad storm...

lightning

thunder

wind

it was a big one...

and let's just say

thunder shirts were

no match for this storm...

pete and maddie were 

not happy campers...

so there was not a lot of

sleep happening...

when my alarm went off

at 4:45

i said,

"awww hell no"

and reset it for 6:00...

telling myself i'll go to the

5:30 spin class tonight...

alarm goes off at 6...

i wake heather up and tell

her i'm not going to the gym

and that it's 6 and not 4:45...

shower and all that jazz...

while i'm getting dressed in 

the other room

and packing my gym back

for tonight's class,

i'm thinking to myself

what if i just accidentally 

forget my gym shoes and

then i can't go to the gym tonight???

no shoes???

no gym...

i'm trying to talk myself 

out of the gym...

i want to come home...

i want to sit on the couch...

i want to rest...

that's when i hear hk get up...

she's getting herself ready to

go to the gym...

on her day off...

again...

well if

heather anne kimberling

is getting up at the 

butt crack of dawn

to go to the gym by herself

i'm triple checking my

gym bag to make sure

i've got everything i need

because i'm hitting that spin class

and i'm hitting it hard...

so

thanks hk...

i won't get mushy here,

even though you know i want to...

i'll just leave it at that...
