And nice spring day.

I have a great job where I am lucky enough to have a whole day off in the middle of the week. This gives me time to run errands, do things I need to do, make appointments and blah blah blah. I find this day busier than all the other days combined. Still, I am doing what I choose to do so that in itself says something.
Let me tell you what I did today. Unfortunately, I had to set the alarm and wake up promptly at 630 a.m.. I had to bring my old car to the shop because I accidentally tore off the right rear view mirror. How was I supposed to know garages are so small? Anyway, I dropped off my car and then my sister pick me up and I spent the morning with my mom and my sisters 2 great kids. Ruby was busy crawling around in cruising around everything and Malcolm was busy doing his yoga. 1 of the great things about moving to minnesota ( in the sad thing about leaving kansas city) is the day today things that I get to see/miss.
Aaron dropped off Henry at school and picked me up and I came home briefly and then Frances and I went to storytime. She loves this so much it's fun to see how much she participates in enjoys everything about it. After story time I picked up Henry and ran a quick errand and then brought Henry to gymnastics and then piano lessons.
After that, I'm excited to say, that I finally ran outside for the first time this season. Aaron did it this morning and I was quite jealous. It was still very cold and there's lotsa snow but after about a mile your body gets used to it and you can just enjoy being outside. After running miles and miles on the treadmill, it is so invigorating to go outside.
Once I get home Aaron was hungry so we went out to eat. And now tonight I will go to Community Band, which is something I've recently added to my life. Well, sort of. I was actually in this band about 10 years ago before I started med school and loved it tremendously. I had to stop playing trombone once things got more busy, but now I think I have the time. My lip is definitely shot and I will be working hard to get it to an acceptable level. Both my kids like it when I play trombone at home so that is good good motivation. Once I get home from band and I will probably watch comedy bang bang or something else and then go to bed.  Well, that's all. I'm not sure why I told you all this, maybe it's interesting, maybe it's not but you can decide for yourself.

On my phone

Ok ok . It's been about a year since I've posted and things have gotten a little busier. I find myself doing other things besides a computer at night and my internet is blocked for bloggers at work. So what's a girl to do?
I'll tell you what dot dot dot find a phone app for blogging. Right now my phone has the great function of turning voice to text and I'm trying it out. Maybe this keep the family updated a little bit more on things.
Well gosh what am I supposed to say that sums up a whole year? I could say so much but my mind finds so little.
Maybe I'll just start with something simple. Lets Start with Frances and my now. 2 year old girl . She is now have a crazy crazy age where she wants to do everything herself. I want something done I try to trick her to think it was her idea in the first place. For instance sometimes she doesn't want to go to bed and stands in the crib and jumps around. I ask her when she is ready to lay down and then leave the room. As soon as I start to leave she says "ready" and lays down. Then I can tuch her in and say goodnight. Also getting in the car is a nightmare. What you to take 3 minutes now drags out for almost 10 minutes. She has to decide which shoes to put on which coat to put on and if she's going to be putting on a coat and if she is able to be put in the car seat or if she has to climb up a and if she buckles herself or lets us do it. It's a pain in the b*** and I often turn to bribery such as a piece of candy or a toy or doll or even a dumb song. Henry was such a compliant kid, this throws me for a little loop.
Still we're doing ok. We are taking extra time, we give her choices if is one if available and let her cry if she needs to. And besides that she is great; she can be the sweetest thing on the planet in those moments make it worth it.
That's a pretty good start and I'll try to continue it as I can.
