ewwww

So Lilly needed a band-aid yesterday for her "Owie"

Being the independent soul that she is she insisted that she take care of it on her own. . .

I'm just a bit grossed out that she wasn't independent enough to dispose of it properly!

EWWWWWWW!!!

Kirsten-isms

Kirst was telling me a story today

She was explaining a situation that occurred that she did not agree with.

While giving the detailed particulars of the incident she paused and said: (with a hint of sarcasm and drama)

"Can you even believe that mom? I mean I was like-What the cheese?"

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!

Here are a few reasons why today was so fab:

1. Breakfast at McDonald's

2. Road trip to Logan (for a funeral-not so fab)

3. Road trip with Jim

4. Road trip sans little kiddies

5. Fun :Tour de Jim in Logan

6. Meeting many of Jim's old buddies at the USU Library where he worked (10 years ago)

7. Seeing how much said buddies still loved and missed him

8. Seeing and holding (barehanded-no white gloves) a First Edition Copy of the Book of Mormon-signed by Jospeh Smith-(actually had to hold back the tears- it was incredible)

9.Eating lunch at "Le Beaus"

10. Going to J&J's Nursery in Layton

11. Buying lots of shrubs and flowers

12. Getting an amazing deal on said shrubs and flowers

13. Coming home and having my girls run to my arms with excitement

14. Dinner at Taco Bell

15. Chortled in my joy for a frabjous day!

I love my life!

(Pretending to be sad dad was gone- take 1)

I got into an elevator today

There were three other people there with me

All three were over the age of 70

and this is the conversation I was privy to hear:

Man #1: "Gettin old sure aint easy"
Man #2: "Yah, and it isn't much fun either"
Woman: "Whatever happened to the 'Golden Years'?"
Man #1: "If these are Golden...I'll take Bronze!"

I laughed as I got off the elevator...

and then I pondered

I haven't been able to stop thinking about it all day

I have often thought about how great it would be when the kids are gone I finally get to be alone with Jim

After the elevator today- Maybe the phase of life I am in right now is Golden!
