Never think you can do it all

OK I do think I can do anything I put my mind to. However, at what point do you start to realize you are human? My alter ego is totally She-Ra, Princess of Power. You know...He-Man's secret sister he found out about after a couple of seasons...
I'm talking about everything from helping my friend move a two bedroom house (stove, fridge, washer, etc.). Just the two of us. To something simple as putting together the two walls of my cube at work. I could have called maintenance to do it for me but why take them a way from what they have to do? (Uh..what they have to do is put stuff together like my mini wall). I however don't see it like that. I am self-sufficient. I grew up in a single parent household and my mom taught my brother and I to be able to take care of ourselves and each other. So if that means I have to push my car down the street because it broke down, I'll do it. Then I will save my AAA for when I'm stuck on the highway or something.

My other alter alter ego is the Incredible Hulk. Not the actual Hulk and not Dr. Banner either. That in between state where you are holding all together (And only the Edward Norton Hulk. He was hot). There is a delicate balance that one needs to have before you end up in a chaotic situation. I guess there is a correlation between the two. I identify with characters with two personalities because I think I (and everyone else) have to be a different person than what they may appear to be. Trust me, the person that you see at work is not the same person that is at home raising children....Well yeah it is. But you know what I mean.

Have I learned that I can't do it all? Yes. Mostly because I can't really walk all that well after running and getting ready for that 8k that's coming up. I think I can only make it to the corner again. My back hurts, my butt hurts, my shoulder hurts....I think my running and walking mates think I'm in better shape that I am. I think they will be pleasantly or not too pleasantly surprised come Thanksgiving. HA HA. Oh fun times. I will however make it across that finish line. I don't know if I will be crawling or not. I'm going to save my last bit of energy to run across the finish line in a big burst of energy like I had been running that fast the whole time. I won't be fooling anyone. It's just the thought of running across the finish line.

OH Handy Smurf and Lion-o were pretty sweet too.
