180/365

Today was a good day!  I had a good workout.  I just decided that I wouldn't try to run fast, I would just run enough to get my workout done.  And I did it!  I did it!  It feels so good to say that after the workout slump I've been in for the past few days.

Spencer's girlfriend was as the Arctic Oasis today.  It's that same little girl I wrote about a few months back that whenever she is there they are inseparable.  Well she was all over him today.  Tackling him.  Chasing him.  Hanging on him.  He loved it.  He did start to get a little tired of her hanging on him while he was trying to run.  He said the funniest thing to her.  He said,

"Don't hang on me.  

See these muscles (he broke out the guns)?  

I'm a man."

He didn't push her or anything.  He just said that to her.  It was too funny!  Sometimes kids say the funniest things.  

The kids have been behaving wonderfully.  It seems like we are getting back into a grove.  Too bad in two days all that is going to be turned upside down.  Then in 10 days our routine is going to change again with school starting.  And three weeks later it will all change again with Nate going back to Korea.  So I guess August is going to be the month of changes for us.   We can get through this.  And we can do it well.  It may not be easy, but it will be done!

I am feeling really positive today.  I don't know why.  Maybe it's because I've gotten a lot of things off my mind by writing them here.  Or because I am learning to accept things that happen for what they are and moving on.  Most of the things that happen in our life right now, I have no control over.  I am trying not to dwell.  And believe me I am a dweller.  But dwelling only makes me feel worse.  I think letting go is good  and it is making me feel good!

Kayleigh had a little friend, Jasmine, from our neighborhood over to play.  They colored and played.

Jasmine absolutely LOVES Lola.  So they just sat and pet her for a long time.  She was in heaven! 

POSITIVE THOUGHT #28

I have nice long eyelashes.  They're not dark, but they are long!

ONLY 33 MORE HOURS UNTIL NATE IS HOME!
