6/50 and grace in small things...
Monday of New Years week...about 10:30 at Gondola Square...crowded--so crowded--this is the line to get on the gondola...it wrapped all the way around behind the building, this picture doesn't do it justice...and cold...I heard it was MINUS 24 this morning...
Long story short, I only got one run in today...but that one run was super fun.
And, here are some other lovely things that happened:
- So fun having my brother and his family here with us...
- Kids had a great play date this morning...without Mommy there, which is pretty unusual for us...
- Lambie (Zo's favorite toy) got left behind at said playdate...but luckily at my husband's insistence we have a backup lambie...which I explained was so white and puffy because she had been to the spa...a story that Zo readily accepted...although she did poke Lambie's face a few times and say that it was way puffier than normal...
- John Denver on the stereo while I did the afternoon's housework...
- I took the kids to the post office this afternoon to mail Papa his iPad...there was a long line and they were behaving so badly I had to step out of line and take them back to the car...and we had a talk...and then we went back in to try it again and they did better but were still very difficult to keep under control...but I did my best and there was a man who looked homeless that passed by me as he left and said to me, "Thanks for your hard work, Mama." I teared up right there in the post office...it's one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me...
XOXO
