I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom.

I have been working out lately. Have been back to the gym for about 2 weeks straight now. My knee is feeling SO much better. My goal is to be running by November.Wohoo!

The boys are playing a Lord of the Rings game on the Xbox.
Kaleb is the White Wizard and Ian is Gandalf.
They are fighting.
Kaleb, who is losing says, "Come on Gandalf! I'm your brother!"
My baby girl niece, Charlese turned the big 4 today. I love being her aunt. I REALLY appreciate my sister sharing her with me and letting me be so involved in her life. Its almost like having my own little girl.....but better! I can spoil her with absolutely no guilt.
Today I went to Walmart with the two younger boys to buy the things on the shopping list Oliver had made. He told me we needed to go specifically to Walmart and buy:
guinea pig food
light bulbs for his room
cough drops that were cherry flavored for his "cough"
While we were picking up his essentials, a man at the end of the aisle paid me the sweetest compliment as we passed by. He looked me right in the eyes, smiled, and said in a very sincere and non-creepy way, " I just wanted to tell you that you are very cute." I said, "Thank you." and went on my way.
It made me smile though and feel very good about myself. I kind of want to go around Walmart and just compliment random people now.
Well just thought I would share.
Ta-Ta for now! I am exhausted tonight because I ran around all afternoon with 3 yr old niece and my two younger boys in tow. I am now going to lay down with a book and try to obtain a zen- like state.
“After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, and you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t mean security, and you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises, and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child, and you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure… that you really are strong, and you really do have worth.” ~Veronica A. Shoffstall
A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive. ~ Pearl Bailey
