aaaggghhh....

This day started out with my alarm clock going off at 4:55 am. I was trying to wake from my dream and was reaching for the green straw, hence Macie now needing a specific color for everything! I rolled out of bed and somehow made it to boot camp at 5:30 (thanks to Lindsie McD picking me up!) It was brutal. It has been a couple of months since I have really really pushed myself like that. I work out. Whatever. This is a workout. It was nice to be home and ready for the day before kids were out of bed. Same routine. Different day. Errands and the mom stuff we do at home. Finally, it was time to take the kids to the Buhrley's (thanks again Amber!) 5:00 is usually chaos at our house and today was no different. Dropped the kids off at the worse time ever. Starving kids, a Macie with no nap, and a see ya later to Amber!

Aaagghhh...the drive with music of my choice! I chose the Childrens Primary Songs, and Macie wasn't even in the car with me. Something about the song, "A Child's Prayer" gets me. Plus, I was on my way to the temple (woo wooh!) It was soooo needed and it felt amazing to be there with my husband. After a brutal awakening and a rough work out, it was so rewarding to end the night feeling so at peace and a desire to want to try harder, serve more diligently, and give more of myself to everyone around me, especially my children. A new day tomorrow. Can't wait!

You are such a good girl...waking up when it is still dark outside to work out...and going to the temple all in one day!! I am very impressed. You are a great example.

I agree with Christina, you are a good example. I don't work out...I have come to the realization that chasing my kids is my workout for now. And going to the temple...and that you found a sitter. Wow! I love that song too, it's my fav and with all of the new ones, it's the one that I can impress my kids that I know.

I agree with everyone - it would be a miracle if I got a workout AND the temple in the same 24 hour period. You're superwoman!

If the suns not out, I'm not usually up. You have a lot more motivation than I will probably ever have. And it shows.

I loved your blog about your daughter peeing outside. How cute is that? (Only a grandmother, would think so right?) You are a good mommy. Love ya. (hey, did you hear about the princess?)

"aaaggghhh" What a perfect word for some days! I haven't checked in on you in a while! Your family is beautiful. You are amazing!

Thanks for the inspiration, I use to go to the Temple before everyone was up and it changed my day. I need to do that again, so thanks for that!! You really are wonder woman. I would be proud of myself if I was even able to get out of bed before my kids. They have to jump on me!!!
