coming up roses...

You know it's going to be a GREAT day when...

*you sleep in until 4:30 am (only 20 minutes before the alarm was set to go off instead of the 2 hours before that you've been waking up for the past 11 days)

*none of your children have school so you have plenty of time to make them one of their favorite breakfasts (and the added bonus of not having to make them a sack lunch)

*the temperature is cool enough that you can really enjoy your run

*you have fun plans for the day (including Itty Bitty Salt Lake City, watching McKayla run cross-country, watching Brakston play soccer) and NONE of those things are at the same time (meaning that for a WHOLE day you don't need to be in 2 or 3 places at the same time - I am NEVER good at that)

*it is your favorite (and only) husband's birthday - HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KEVIN! I love you!
