Squeals in Delight
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008HI!!!!
Welcome to the new design! I hope you like it as much as I do. I have been working on the design on and off for over a month. I hand coded it all, using examples when I had to, but mostly tutorials. It is by far the most amazing work I have ever done. It feels awesome to have it complete and live. If you encounter any difficulties please let me know. I have checked it across all browsers (IE 6 displays my navigation menu like poo so please upgrade if you are still using IE, thanks).

It amazes me what a few weeks will change. I blogged about my confusion concerning running. I didn’t get it. Well while J was gone, I couldn’t get out there and run. I was mopey and totally bummed at the loss of that time. This week I got back at it, plus I took a book out from the library about running. Now I feel like a runner. I am still not able to run the entire time, but I am getting there. It is this amazing elated feeling when you reach your running goal. It is filling me with confidence. It is so COOL.

This confidence is spilling over to the rest of my life. I want this so bad. I want to run. I want to be in good shape, be a good role model for my kids and feel excellent about me. I want this BAD. It feels so amazing to just do it. I am totally sticking with it too. So proud of me. w00t me! hehe.
I am so loving the feedback from you all this week. I wanted to touch on a couple points.
SAHM vs the World. By no means was my implication that what I do is better or worse than any other choice. I excel in our choice. I may not always be good at parenting, cleaning, organizing, etc but I am a better person staying at home at this point. I have grown as a woman, as a wife and as a mother in the four years that I have been blessed to stay at home with my child(ren).
I went from a nothing weekend to crazy busy-ness. How can it still only be Tuesday?
Golly, he sure does WANT me though! I went in to get him and there he was, as I left him. Snuggled in the caregivers arms waiting for his Mommy to return. He sniffed and groaned at me then clung to me like a monkey. In fact he really hasn’t let go since. Even at the library this morning, a place he is very comfortable with and plays at twice a week, he dared not to let go of my leg, arm, any part he could hold. The caregiver at the nursery said that he stopped crying but never let go of her. Opted to rest her head on her shoulder and wait. What a boy! How I love him.
I have been knitting a little. Just enough to keep a project going. Not knitting makes me cranky but I do not have the time to commit to anything specific. Maybe I should knit a blanket, something huge and mindless. I did complete another bear for a friend in California that had an adorable baby boy. Bears are fun to knit. I was not a huge fan of the pattern I used even though it was in the round this time. The stitches ended up messy.
Things have been going by as usual around here. Wordless Wednesday was true. Becca has *only* broken her glasses once before this, so we figure her track record was acceptable. Becca and I were both surprised to learn that a new arm for her glasses would cost the same as a new bike (something she desperately wants for her birthday). Luckily we had her old pair, put the old smaller arm on one side and the eye-glass tech worked magic on them to make them fit.
