And she rambles

Our Campbell boy is officially eleven. I do not even know how that is possible.

I ran two and a half miles this morning, at a pretty good pace, and it wasn't hard. I kind of enjoyed it. Never in my life would I think I could say that. That is never with a capital NEV.

I really love my husband a lot. But I need to spend less time busy with life and stop to show him that more. He puts up with a lot. And loves me still.

Being the Relief Society president can be entertaining beyond words. If you even knew what happened last night, you would shake with laughter. Or maybe not. But you really should.

When I finished running this morning, I walked by a mirror and noticed the most perfect curl on the left side of my hair. If all of my hair looked like that, I would have the best hair on the planet. Best hair on the planet, people.

We took the little boys' bunk beds apart last night and made them two separate beds. The room looks terrible that way. But the boys love it so much I don't think I have the heart to change it back. At least for an hour or two.

Our kids get to choose how much of school they go to on their birthday. Yesterday, Cam asked to please come home around 11:00 this morning. And then he asked if his brother and sister could come home early too, so all of the kids could play together for his birthday. Oh my mother's heart.

I have the best friends, who keep doing health challenges with me, so I can keep my promise to myself and make 2010 the year I become healthy. Thanks darling people. You know who you are.

My nose is peeling like a chimpanzee with a banana.

Getting out of a warm shower on a cold morning is painful.

My mom is one of the greatest blessings of my life. Our conversations are so good and happy and funny and therapeutic for me. I'm so grateful for her.

Yesterday Matt came up to me rubbing one of his eyes and asked, "Can you buy some eye patches the next time you go to the store?"

There are balloons all over my kitchen and dining room floors. I mean really, how could that not make for a fantastic day?
