oh...i was just thinking...

1. the sun is so amazing. right now i appreciate it's ability to bring us outside more. so much comes with time outside moving our bodies...happiness, good sleep, energy. i am also amazed at how it really helps fifi's cloth diapers not smell. not in the sun=stinky, in the sun=perfection.
2. thinking of moving our bodies....i love running (and when i say running, what i really mean is jogging....i just like the word running better and it seems a bit more powerful and i like how that little difference can empower me...weird? yeah, probably. okay with me? absolutely). i hadn't taken the time for the past few weeks to work that into my life with my dh traveling and such ... ALTHOUGH i signed up a few weeks ago for a 5k (called the mermaid run....have to do it! seriously how could i pass this up) BUT i haven't been running. it is this coming sunday and i figured i better get out there and run or i may just have to walk this little 5k.....i love running. i feel so much better when i do it. i feel stronger, have more energy, not so grumpy, the benefits are seemingly endless. hmm. better keep it up and i will let you know how sunday goes. eek.
(eek? why did i say eek! see... there goes that same anxiety that i felt when i was young in anticipation for the 1 miler in p.e. i would get sick to my stomach and think there was absolutely no way i could do it. anyone else feel that way as a child? mind over matter. it is all in my head. gosh, brains are so weird sometimes.)
3. laundry. why does it never end?
4. is it a problem that my children are quoting movies rather than books? um, i think so. we are going to do April as turn off your tv month, not just the one week that is officially set out of the month. this will help. that stint of the sickies threw us into an icky little tv habit. yuck. perhaps i will be able to share some of the fun things we do instead.
5. still thinking that even with all this extra energy from being outside that an afternoon nap for everyone would be a good thing. and with that i am wondering if i am throwing myself into a bad habit of the 3 o'clock coffee kick knowing it will give me the boost to stay up late and knit or write letters to family or friends. good or bad. not sure.
