"Your expectations have been violated"

     Its Sunday. My only day off. I tried to take the kids with me to workout this morning; not such a good idea. It wasn't a bad idea, but it needed some practicing. I really wanted to do the bleachers at school, but the gate was locked. I didn't think that having the kids jump the fence with me was setting a good example for them. So we walked around a little bit while I tried to figure a new plan. I had brought some toys for them; I set them up in the shady end of a baseball field and I start running the perimeter. I make it around twice when I hear "I GOTTA GO POO POO!" Of course all of the bathrooms are locked....... so we pack it up and go home.  I was disappointed. I was ready to get my sweat on. Maybe I can try again this evening? Being flexible can be a challenge. I guess it really doesn't matter when I exercise- as long as I get it done- but having one plan fail; it takes twice the motivation to get out the door again.
      I heard this the other day: "Your expectations have been violated" We all come up with ideas about what we want and we set out to make that a reality... when it doesn't happen exactly as we planned...trauma.  I sometimes wish I wasn't so attached to the outcome. Disappointment sucks! I had expectations for this morning and I didn't get what I wanted. I know some people who would be happy that their workout was cancelled, but thats not me.
      Be flexible! Go with the flow! Maybe someday I will learn.....
