WEATHER

Kelt eating up his watermellon.....YUM

"Life isn't about waiting for the Storm to Pass.... It's about learning to dance in the Rain!"

I heard this quote the other day from a friend of mine. Just when I needed it the most. It has been so windy, and rainy, and just plain miserable. Why is it that the weather........can make or break your day? Why is it that we can't go out and do a naked rain dance in the windy/rainy weather? I have noticed lately that my attitude has been deeply affected by what is happening outside my window pane. I seem to EAT more, exercise LESS, and GRUMP at just about anything I can think of. NO MORE......smack. I needed a good beating, but can't seem to talk Brian into giving me one.

We have been doing baseball 4 nights a week. The boys are loving it even though they get get their butts kicked half the time. Brian has been helping coach Carson's games and does such an amazing job. Those kids really LOVE him. It is sure FUN to watch.

The other night I came home from teaching my spinning class and Brian had been helping a customer with bikes. That means Carson and Kelton were in CHARGE. I walked in the front door expecting to find a BIG mess, but to my surprise it almost had a sparkle to it. Upon walking through the door I didn't hear or see one boy. I called and Kelton came running out of the bathroom. "Mom, mom come here quick." I rushed to the bathroom door expecting to find someone bleeding and hurt. This is what I found. Cooper sitting on the potty, red faced, and pushing as hard as he could. I walked over to him with a HUGE smile and looked in the potty. There was one little bity marble sized poop in the toilet. Coop was SO happy with himself. I can't even get this kid to sit on the dang thing. It was the cutest moment EVER. My boys are growing up so fast. And what wonderful, amazing boys I have. They are a TRUE joy.

Well, if you see my shiny buns glowing in the moonlight doing my rain dance - just know that I am greatful for the wind and the rain. That no matter how bad things may seem, they could always be a lot WORSE. Be happy for what you have and embrase EVERY day.
