Sad sad day

So I am trying to figure what to do today. My heart is sinking for two of my friends whose mother passed away on Monday. Yesterday it didn't seem real - like I was disconnected from it.....today is a different matter. I need to figure out what I can do to help. My heart just hurts. I think the next couple of days are going to be hard.

In the meantime, I am trying to get my self organized. I have several things on my to do list. One was running. I am training for a 5k at the end of April and took a couple weeks off due to work/weather/lack of sleep. I am done with the excuses. I can say that for the first time in......well way to long to remember I actually worked out 3 days in a ROW!!! And feeling quite good about it.

I also need to start my spring cleaning. I think I am going to take each room of the house and go through it and do whatever needs to be done in that room - windows, organizing, hanging pictures, discarding or filing things.....and even paint. I would love to just pay someone to come in a paint the entire downstairs......unfortunately, that is not happening soon. So maybe I will get the bug again and do it myself.

Madison did great today. She woke up early again (unfortunate after my late night working) but she was pretty happy and did great dropping her off. That makes it so much easier in the morning. I just hate leaving her when she is crying. But today she didn't say goodbye or really acknowledge me.....which was kinda hard to - but I guess I can't have it all. I will get a great reception when I pick her up today.

Well I guess I need to get going on that family room and put all the furniture back - got to get ready for the Mahoney's coming this weekend!

New at this

So I thought I might actually take the leap and start a blog. Chris and I have been talking about it for awhile - putting things up about Madison so our family could keep up......but it just never happened. My friend, Heather, has a couple wonderful blogs that I read several times a week. So here I am.
On a good note - Chris is back in town and I love having him here. Madison was so thrilled he was home - I am not sure he was allowed out of her sight. She is getting so big and all kinds of words/phrases/senteneces come flying out of her mouth these days. She loves the Backyardigans and playing with her animals.
