Yay for Good Days!

I haven't posted for awhile. I just haven't felt like it to be honest :). Today was a good day. I ran 3 miles on the treadmill without stopping! I haven't done that since my surgery in Nov 2009. With the new year, I have a goal to run three times a week. I would like to compete in the Provo City half-marathon in May, but I'm not sure yet if I am capable of running that far or if my body can handle it.

Sammy stayed home from school today because he had a fever, cough, and sore throat. I had some one on one time with him while Holly took her nap and Josh was at kindergarten. We played Lego Harry Potter on the wii. We played for an hour and finished year one.

I have successfully kept the house clean for 4 days now. And I am doing my laundry tomorrow. I think I finally have a system that works for me. I have the laundry sorted (6-7 loads?) and one load is in the washer and will start automatically at 6:00 tomorrow morning - thanks to the timer on our washer. I take the laundry upstairs to fold since our bedrooms are on the top floor and it is easier for me to carry it that way. I fold in our bedroom while I watch The Biggest Loser, which I DVR every Tuesday night. Then I put the clothes away. I try to do it in one day or two if I have to, but I try not to drag it out any longer than two days. It has been nice to have a system and not feel the laundry nag everyday because laundry isn't really my thing.

I hear Sammy coughing right now. :( I was hoping he could go to school tomorrow. I think I will go see if he needs some cough medicine to help him get through the night.

Good night! I hope tomorrow will be good too.
