So, I was cleaning up my blog posts and found this "draft" that I hadn't published. I thought it was interesting because I don't remember what day this was, I don't remember which family I was praying for, or any of that! Just another reminder that journaling/blogging/record keeping, with details, is important for me to do because my memory is BAD!!!!!!! :)
Enjoy!
"...This morning I woke up to Oscar making noise at 5:45am. He was being quiet about it--it was more an "I love you, please come down and let me out" instead of a spoiled puppy noise.
I tried going back to sleep after he was fed and watered, but it wasn't happening, so I came downstairs again around 6:30 and messed around on the computer.
At 8:00am I put on my new kicks that look something like this
and took Oscar for a walk--I told the kids, who were still trying to wake up, that we'd have some breakfast when I got back. Jason was up already, trying to take it easy and deal with his cold.
(The kids HAVE been doing more walks with Oscar--I just wanted to today!)
The walk was nice. About halfway into it I had this interesting experience--everything was crisp, the weather was perfect, my shoes felt good, and I just felt SO grateful. At that moment, I passed by a ward members' home--they're a good family dealing with some major health problems right now. My heart went out to them and I started praying for them, and for so many others who needed help. I know it sounds weird, doing that while I'm out walking the dog, and my eyes weren't closed or anything--it just seemed like the thing to do.
After the walk, the whole family sat down to a really awesome breakfast of cold cereal and apple juice--we're big cereal eaters here! Jason reminded me to look into obedience training for Oscar--he would definitely benefit from it.
Around 10:00am Rhiannon, Wade, Oscar, and I crowded into the upstairs bathroom to give Oscar a bath. The kids are pretty good helpers, and it's funny trying to get the job done as quickly as we can. I won't lie--it is a good WoRkOuT! I'm going to check into getting him groomed this week, too, hopefully before his little "surgery" on Thursday."
