so far, so good

the sun is shining again today.  it's like it knows when it needs to shine on me.  or else.

cayden told me yesterday that he has a secret.  i had to beg him for two seconds to spill the beans and then he whispered in my ear ...

 "a girl used to love me"

really? how do you know?

"she told me at lunch.  every time i look at her she smiles at me.  i have to get rid of her."

and so the boy/girl drama begins.

so far today i've learned to not toss wet diapers down to the bottom of the stairs.  after i put baby in the tub i tossed his saturated diaper down as i always do so that i might throw it in the outside garbage on my way down.  the difference between today and "always" is he was wearing pampers instead of huggies.  i found that pampers work best for girls and huggies work best for boys.  i don't think i need to explain why.  however, the other day i was cleaning out the linen closet and found a bag of pampers shoved in the back from when brooklyn was a baby that just happened to be gavin's size.  score!  anyway, all i know is that when saturated and tossed down a flight of stairs, a pampers diaper does not hold together well and the result is disgusting.  what is that stuff inside the lining anyway?  ewwww. 

husband is away doing important husband stuff.  i hope he returns upbeat and with good news.  at which time, i will lace up my running shoes and head out for my second "long run" as part of my attempt to run a real marathon this year.  today's distance : seven miles.  some people might think this is a short ways.  it seems that way to me too as i look further down the calendar at week fourteen, eighteen miles, but today, it will be a major accomplishment that i'm looking forward to reminiscing about.

wish me luck.  or don't.  either way, i'm out the door soon.

happy saturday all.
