Forever and a day, always













The other day you asked me to
Tell you how much I love you
Oh but words so often fail
To describe the depth and scale
And even though it may sound cliche
I'll tell you now in my simple way




My love is as true as the oceans are blue
And I'll always feel this way
Just listen to the beating that keeps repeating
My heart wants to say
Like Gala and Dali, it's you and me
Forever and a day
Forever and a day, always


You watch me turn out the light
Wrap my arms around you
Say good night
Trace our shadows on the wall
Thank God for the miracle of it all

My love is as true as the oceans are blue
And I'll always feel this way
Just listen to the beating that keeps repeating
My heart wants to say
Like Gala and Dali, it's you and me
Forever and a day
Forever and a day, always

The road of life winds
With the passing of time
I can hear you say
"How can hearts know where love will go beyond today?"


Just listen to the beating that keeps repeating
My heart wants to say
Like Gala and Dali, it's you and me
Forever and a day
Forever and a day, always

Checking In

Just writing to let you all know I have NOT given up on blogging (or running) but both have been put on hold this week while I'm at work. I am EX-HAUS-TED. All I can manage to do when I get home is play with Caroline and sniff her head, take a shower, and go to bed. I am SO SO SO thankful that my maternity leave starts on Monday. So I'll get back with ya next week.......

Until then, a sweet picture of my little bathtub baby.

Catalog Living

If you have a *weird sense of humor like me, you will really enjoy this little gem. You can thank me later with a chocolate cupcake. And a glass of 2% milk.

*Why is this word spelled this way??? Does this keep anybody else up at night?? "I before E except after C" -- not "I before E except after W". Ugh.

Update

I just started week 5 (9 weeks total) of the Couch to 5K program. Here's me in my former life as a spud.
Holy moly. It makes me tired to even write about it. But the good news is that I've stuck with it and I haven't passed out one single time. These made a big difference starting in week 3.
Before wearing them, I was having some wicked knee pain during/after every run. I was so discouraged. Thank you Run On for hookin' me up.

Daddy Doodie

This is what happens when I go to the gym and leave Caroline alone with her Dad...


Apparently, she had a blow-out. He did make it a point to mention that he was not the one that put the diaper on. ;)

Snot Happens

We are on day 3 of a snotty nose. This has been our saving grace:


along with this:
I never imagined that a snotty nose and an elevated temperature could make me so sick to my stomach...but it did. Anyways, back to the snotsucker. Who knew that hearing AND seeing the mucus come out could be so gratifying?? It truly is. You must try it for yourself to fully understand. Thankfully, the snot faucet seems to have turned to more of a drip and her temp is down to normal.
