Lately…

…the sun peeks out between showers of rain, snow and hail.

…my kids go back and forth with being best friends and bitter enemies.

…I’ve learned a lot, because I had to teach a lesson at church on being happy with who you are; and I had to give a talk to the whole ward (congregation) on charity.

…my husband is fighting a cold, and I’m praying that I don’t get it.

…we’ve been watching a lot movies.  Iron Man, Secret Life of Bees, The Three Musketeers, Beverly Hills Chihuahua, High School Musical 3.  Later this week we’ll see The Tale of Desperaux and Madagascar 2.

…I’m being healthier.  Working out six days a week (3 running/walking and 3 weight-lifting); and tracking my food with Weight Watchers Online.  7 pounds gone, a bunch to go. :)

…we’ve been planning parties.  Two birthdays in the next two weeks.  One baptism at the end of the month and lots of family coming into town.  We can’t wait.

…I’m hoping to win a giveaway at Annette Lyon’s blog in honor of her new book, Tower of Strength. Also loving a giveaway I won at Kristen D. Randle’s blog.  Her book The Only Alien on the Planet was re-released in paperback.  I read it last year, and loved it.  I’m thrilled to own my own copy.

…I’ve been working like crazy on almost 150 wedding invites.  I’m also done, and they’ll be in the mail soon.

…the bulbs planted in the front and coming up and I find myself checking their progress multiple times daily.

…my kids are doing a few more chores, a little more teeth-brushing and reading a little more.  Amazing what a chore chart and the promise of some money will do.

…I can feel myself getting stronger. Workouts that were really hard a few weeks ago are getting easier.
