Under the weather

Not feeling very well today...in fact, I haven't felt well all weekend. I tried doing childcare on Monday and Tuesday, and I'm absolutely sure I caught something from those little germ factories! I've decided it's definitely not worth the money to watch that many kids and run the risk of getting sick! Just been taking it easy. I've been resting a lot, drinking lots of OJ, and popping Zicam every few hours! Hoping I can get over this pretty quickly. Not exactly an ideal way to spend this Memorial Day weekend, but I gotta say I've enjoyed spending time with my sweetie, and I've even been pampered a little. :) Hope everyone is having a fun, safe weekend!

Disappointed...

...defeated in expectation or hope. That is exactly how I feel, right now. And now, I am grieving; mourning the loss of what could have been. I literally cried for almost an hour straight, this morning. I'm going to be fine. I'm a firm believer that things work out for the best, and there is a reason for everything, but that doesn't mean we can't be sad and disappointed when our hopes and expectations do not coincide with our reality.

I sometimes hesitate to write things that are too personal on this blog, but then I remember why I started this in the first place. It was for times like this, when my thoughts and emotions are too overwhelming to keep bottled up inside. This post is for me. I needed it.

Now I'll leave you with a much happier/funnier thought...

In the middle of the night last night, David rolled toward me and kissed me several times, rather passionately (it gave me butterflies). Then, he rolled back over and said, "That was really awkward". I chuckle every time I think about it! :)

Today...

...I jogged 5k in under 20 minutes on the elliptical! Woot! Now if only I could do that really jogging I'd be happy. One of these days... :)

Just because I don't have human children, doesn't mean I don't get honored on Mother's Day

I still have my two furbabies...

Charlie &

Riley

Having these two babies in my life makes me one lucky Mama. You should be jealous!

Check out the ridiculously cute/sweet Mother's Day cards they got me this year...

My breakfast this morning

Yes, it is pudding! Shhhhhhh....don't tell my mommy! ;)

Convo with my mom yesterday

Talking about my weekly fitness class...

Me: I outran the guys today.

Mom: Did you really?! (skeptically)

Me: Yes, I REALLY did.

Mom: Were they trying?

Me: YES!

Mom:I just can't imagine you being fast.
