Mom's Great Wisdom

My mom once said, "I don't regret anything. I enjoyed you kids. My memories are so vivid because I so frequently recall them."

So, for me, that translated into pay attention to the moments you want to keep. I've learned to make them vivid by remembering small details. Of course, pictures and journals help. When I saw this picture tonight I teared up. I remember this day. I remember how her wiggly body felt in this funny velvty sweat suit. I remember how her little fingers felt on my face. And I remember that cute fuzz and how much I loved tickling my nose with her fuzz. I can even feel how the room felt. Oh, we had such a simple, marvelous afternoon.

Throw Me a Bone

Okay, so yesterday is Tuesday and we all know that Tuesday is Zumba, and the tots dance class, and shopping. So I usually take a shower and get ready before I work out (silly, but works) so that I can just go, go, go all day. I pin my hair into a "stylish" do' so it stays in after my workout and dance class....or so I thought.

Look folks, I don't have a photo to record this greatest do', BUT it just so happens that I went down Center City, had the Home Teachers over, went Visiting Teaching myself, and even met people for the first time, AND, AND lost my wallet in the grocery store and had to have the whole staff looking for it and NO ONE, not even my loving husband who is supposed to save me from severe embarassment, Home Teachers who's total calling is to help you in your time of need... told me that my hair looked like a bird nested there. NO ONE. Chello?! I walked around looking like the bird lady people! I don't even like birds. Maybe that's why people at the grocer's were so kind...

How embarassing-in the way that is just totally mortifying especially since I was acting so profesh and responsible.
Anyway, if you see me and it's Tuesday please just assume I haven't looked in the mirror since 8am. Please stop me. Please rescue me from my own fashion doom.

Did you know that I have 5!!! followers?! First, I felt incredibly lucky that so many peeps want to keep track of my life. Then I thought, "Followers, that sounds like I've started my own church!" Yes, I guess now that I think about it enough I'm cool enough to...Just kidding you guys!
Love having followers. I check all ya'lls' blogs too. And I just love blogs.

It's been a great 5 years. Really great. Super great. Of course my lack of wedding pics doesn't make it easy to see the sparkle in our eyes that wonderful spring day, but if you look close at the five year mark you'll see the spark hasn't fizzled. He makes me laugh every day.

The most stinking cute kid

How come kids are so dang cute when they do things like this?! I tried to reason with myself about how much money just went down the pipes, how I don't get to go out and buy more makeup, etc. BUT LOOK AT THAT CUTE KID!!!
