Food for Thought - Motherhood.....

I've read some rather inspiring articles on motherhood lately and decided to post a few of my favorite quotes on the blog. Food for thought?? :-)

Happy Friday!!


"The doctors told me that I would never walk, but my mother told me I would, so I believed my mother." -Wilma Rudolph, American athlete

"It will be gone before you know it. The fingerprints on the wall appear higher and higher. Then suddenly they disappear." -Dorothy Evslin

"Love your children with all your hearts, love them enough to discipline them before it is too late...Praise them for important things, even if you have to stretch them a bit. Praise them a lot. They live on it like bread and butter and they need it more than bread and butter."-Lavina Christensen Fugal

"Never being number one in your list of priorities and not minding at all."-Jasmine Guinness

And last, but not least, a picture of Colby hard at work:

You Know You're A Runner If:

1. You're envious when you see people out running and you're driving in the car

2. You spend more on running clothes than work clothes

3. You have a "running" playlist on your Ipod

4. You can easily convert kilometers to miles and vice versa

5. The theme from Rocky gives you goosebumps

6. You correct others that a marathon is really 26 point two miles

I read over this list in one of my running books the other day and thought it was pretty accurate, at least for myself. I have been reading more about running lately, than I have actually been running, unfortunately. I have some issues with my back that I'm trying to get resolved so I can get back out there. Had a MRI today to pinpoint what's going on, so hopefully will get some answers next week.

Will be posting pictures sometime soon, hopefully. We bought a new camera over Christmas, but it's not working, so need to find a replacement. I don't think I've ever gone this long without being able to take pics!

We are keeping busy with moving Grandma Barb into her new town-house in West Des Moines. Luckily the weather has been awesome for January! Makes it so much easier to be out and about!

Hope everyone is having a great start to 2012!
