Today was a very low key day that I much needed and appreciated. Dan signed up to clean the temple last night so he went to bed really late. Unfortunately for me that means he would probably like to sleep in which means I have to get up with the kids and not sleep in myself. Boo hoo, so sad. :) Dan let's me sleep in all the time on the weekends so I guess it was my turn.
Every time I go pick up our Bountiful Baskets we have to wait in the cold for like a half an hour. Every time Dan goes he is in and out in, like, 10 minutes. What is up with that? Anyway, I went and picked up our basket which was pretty good this week. And I got their organic whole grain bread to try and I love it. It's really good and there is only 65 cals a slice. Win and win!!
For some reason it is really hard for me to work out if it is not right when I wake up. I mean, it's really weird. I like to wake up, work out and get on with my day. When I have to do things before I work out, like, play with the kids for a couple hours and then go pick up our bountiful baskets for some reason I have no desire to work out. I hate it but that's just the way it is. So by the time I got my workout clothes on and got down to the work out room I really did not feel like working out. Which resulted in me going a measly 3 miles. It was pathetic. I printed off a half marathon training plan and got it all written on my calender what miles and workouts I do when and that starts on Monday. I'm excited to get going and I am really glad to have a race to motivate me to get into better shape. Sometimes I have no idea how I ran a 3:30 marathon and a 1:38 half marathon. I blame the winter for making me so bored and wanting to do nothing but lay around the house and watch movies with the kids all day. Seriously, the snow is KILLING ME!
It has pretty much been snowing on and off all day, ALL DAY! I look forward to the time when it snows, it's warm enough that it melts quickly. I have even been craving an outdoor run lately. Me, an outdoor run? I know, I'm having a hard time believing it myself.
My awesome sister Michelle brought her double running stroller up from San Diego for me so now I have a running stroller to go in with the kids if I'm too lazy to get up in the morning. I sold our single when Ellie was born thinking that I wouldn't use it. I actually really regret it b/c there have been many times while Sam is at school that I wished I had it. Now I do and I am really excited. Let's be honest, I'll probably run predominately on the treadmill still but it will be nice to atleast have the option of running outside.
The kids and I made cookies today. The recipe called for 4 eggs so I gave 2 to Sam and 2 to Ellie. Sam cracked his nice and perfect and we put his in and then it was Ellie's turn. She tried to crack it but it wasn't hard enough so I said "do it a little bit harder, Ellie." She then proceeded to slam in on the counter and it broke and went all over her leg and the counter. Me and Sam laughed and Ellie doing what she does best, started crying. She is so dramatic it is ridiculous. It really amazes me and she is going through a very not fun stage right now. Terrible 2's maybe? I don't feel like Sam ever had the terrible 2's all that bad but more the terrible 3's. Anyway, she is really into screaming, saying no, screaming and yes, that's right, more screaming. She also repeats herself over and over and over and over and over. You get the picture? The repeating gets old real, real fast. Patience is a virtue right? Heaven help me through this stage. She is hilarious and we love her of course but she is just a dramatic girl.
I went to a shower for one of Danny's cousins Varci. Having a baby girl at the end of March. I made Dan drive me up there (it was in Layton) because that is how much I hate driving in the snow. It was fun to see family and eat yummy shower food. Chicken salad sandwiches, I have always loved you.
I am teaching YW tomorrow for one of my supervisors because her son is in the hospital and they can't figure out how to get him better. :( Praying for a fast recover for that little guy. Better go finish up my lesson.
Random FYI: I love the quite in the house when the kids have gone to bed. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!! So much that I stay up way to late at night becasue I don't want it to end. Bad, bad habit that is making me very, very tired. On that note, good night.

I totally love the quiet nights, too - it's a problem when you know you need to go to bed! That is hilarious that you made Dan drive you up in the snow - he's so nice!
