Insulting your husband - lets face it once you have been married a while its just second nature, and I am sure he insults me when I am not around too.
yelling at your kids - this is a given...every day, a couple of times a day, they make it so easy!
finding an excuse not to run - another thing that is sadly way to easy! Anything will do, from I am tired, I'll do it later (which never happens) my ankle is sore and I have other stuff to do are among my favorites. This one I have to stop!
finding an excuse to have a drink - nothing wrong with this, apart from the fact that it does not help my diet. Its 5pm somewhere, and I am sure I have friends in that time zone drinking already - one of the advantages to having friends spread out all over the world.
deciding to have a pj day and spend it in bed reading. This does not happen too often, as I have to go and get the kids from school at some stage and the other parents would look at me funny if I was still in my PJ's (of course I may just have gotten out of them 2 minutes prior to leaving home)
To wear a hat in winter - it means you dont have to style your hair...hell you dont even have to brush it! Of course the other day for a change I styled my hair, put product in and everything and had a whole bunch of people tell me how great my hair looks. Made me wonder if I should put the effort in more often!
to ignore all that paperwork on your desk. I have a whole pile sitting right here in front of my keyboard, DH says he does not know how I work here. (Does he even know me? Work? What is that word I seem to have heard it somewhere before, oh yes I think I am allergic to it, so I try and avoid it....its what he does to get me my money!)
To leave your kids homework till the morning - I know I was always guilty of this as a kid, but I honestly thought it would be better once I was the adult. It appears not! The time in the morning before school is spent, throwing some clothes together, making lunches, downing a cup of coffee and doing homework. Bear in mind we only have 1 hour from the time the alarm goes off till they need to be out the door. Oh yes and somewhere in there the kids manage to get breakfast in too.
To give in to the temptation of that cupcake - whoever buys the cupcakes had better stop! I have no willpower, none at all, if they are there I will eat them, or if there are only two left for the kids I will at least sneak some of the icing off them. Sadly this is why I am both running and on diet.
Good luck on your 5k! It's been "impossible" for me to run for the past week and a half, because my son's been sick and clingy. I'm sure I could have found a way, but as you say, it's too easy to make an excuse for it. Must get back on track!
