Today I woke up to a sweet beautiful baby hungry and ready to eat instead of the alarm clock. She greeted me with her big toothless smile and I forgot all about how many times I was up with her last night and how long I paced the floors begging her to go back to sleep.
Today I hit my goal weight.
Today I didn't get mad when Todd got a few extra minutes of shut eye because I knew he was just as tired as I was for holding his sweet little girl for hours instead of getting his fill of computer time.
Today I went running even though I really didn't want to and felt so much better by the end of the run. I was so glad for a great friend and workout buddy to keep me going and listen to me complain about my long night.
Today I took both my girls to the grocery store and no-one cried. I even managed to say no to the candy requests at the checkout without a fit.
Today I did 4 loads of laundry.
Today I took all my kids to play at grandma and grandpa's house and got to just sit there while the kids played talking to my mom and holding my precious baby.
Today I looked at Tayson and wondered where the time went and when he got so big. Have I been a good enough mother to him? Does he know just how much I love him and how funny I think he is? Will the next 6 years go by even faster?
Today I went to dinner with my family and enjoyed eating out. No fits or fights over eating. No crying or being embarrassed in public. Just good times enjoying being waited on, eating yummy food even desert and spending time together as a family.
Today I had to buy new pants for Luke because he has already outgrown his new fall clothes that I bought a month ago. Thank goodness for friends and family day at the Gap.
Today I am so grateful for my marriage. I couldn't ask for a better man. He's HOT, he loves me, he loves our kids, he honors his priesthood, he's a very hard worker, he's very funny, he went to the mall with me and watched the kids while I shopped, he is everything I ever wanted and so much more.
Today I looked into Luke's big brown eyes and melted.
Today was a good day!

Kathy. Fun to run into you at the Gap. You looked fantastic. I'm so proud of you hitting your goal weight and seeing you today gave me motivation to try harder. I LOVE good days!
Goal weight!?... That must be a record! Way to go awesome lady! I'm so glad it was a good day!
You can run and complain anytime. It was great therapy. Way to go on the weight. You are a great support.
OK, I need to ask you about "lovell home". I am a Lovell, maybe we're related. Anyway, sounds like a great day! How exciting to meet your goal weight, I'm glad you had so much fun.
You are lucky indeed!
I love days like that. They seem to come few and far between, then I realize the day is what I make of it. My attitude really does set the tone of the day. Being a mother is hard work, and staying positive and patient and loving, etc. is even harder.
Have I told you that I joined the gym and it actually does make me feel better when I workout!! Maybe it's the free babysitting! Thanks for inspiring me to be better.
Hooray for good days!
Ok, thanks for the hair compliment! I was so nervous to do it. You inspired me!
I have mixed feelings about Time Travelers Wife. I did like it, but it drove me crazy at the same time!
We are totally up for getting together when you come for Christmas - as long as I'm not in labor! LOL Well, then I guess you can come party at the hospital:)
What about the Timmy took claire so we could go shopping then she pooped and I didn't have a spare diaper and she would cry if she wasn't on my lap?!
