But then the bitchiness in me kicks in and says "Hey I just spent the last 4 days with these kids round the clock I deserve a little time away!" <br /><br />Usually when I get home I am a much happier person!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04193236012822601820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8024452810108480973.post-62407816406967881732012-06-13T08:57:46.966-04:002012-06-13T08:57:46.966-04:00We always cheer for Steve around mile 18, which it...We always cheer for Steve around mile 18, which it close to the top of a bitch of a hill...like a 3 mile long hill. He always says that gives him motivation. <br /><br />Volunteering really is great. When I am at the hospital, it is never 'work' I find myself willing to do absolutely anything and I would never complain. It really is all for the greater good.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06970722739917121208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8024452810108480973.post-64108209915814200822012-06-13T08:55:35.451-04:002012-06-13T08:55:35.451-04:00ah, interesting take.

And yes, you guys should cheer as loud as possible. I get most of my motivation from my husband and kids and don't think I would cross the finish line without them. <br /><br />I think it is great you are volunteering too. We all need our "thing" and whatever that may be, a husband and wife need to support each other for marriage to work. Sounds like you guys do that and that is awesome!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04220895653072940035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8024452810108480973.post-72298859287445140822012-06-12T15:37:03.476-04:002012-06-12T15:37:03.476-04:00As a marathoning pilot wife, I feel guilt on my en...As a marathoning pilot wife, I feel guilt on my end as well. He's gone for 4 days at a time and then I have to leave to get in a long run. I feel bad for being away when he just got home. :)Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08778678789173107387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8024452810108480973.post-81049020558974991482012-06-12T15:06:29.689-04:002012-06-12T15:06:29.689-04:00Well said!
