A good day...even though I'm cleaning.

I woke up happy today! I know this is probably normal for most people and it's hard to admit that this is the first day in the last week that I have been blessed with a great morning. The dark cloud is back & I'm hoping that I can get myself back to normal after my dr. appointment tomorrow. But for now, I'm so happy to be up, motivated, and alive.

I woke up to giant hugs & kisses and thought...truly, life could not be better! Dallin told me, "You're the best mom in the whole world...I love you more than a giant loves his mom!" Brooke echoed the same words (of course) and followed them by a huge squeeze. They are now downstairs finishing their breakfast and watching Jimmy Neutron (which Brooke claims she hates because there aren't enough girls in it, but I can hear her laughing uncontrollably as I type) and I'm blogging when I told the kids I was showering!

I have the best husband in the entire world and kids that make life a great adventure & a true joy. Those two things make my life perfect. I am so thankful...even if the cloud has only parted for an hour or two, that I have myself back this morning. I wish this illness would disappear, but for now it has and I am ready for a new day. Doug took the car today because he has patients in the Miami clinic, so today it's just me, the kids, and one really messy house! Let the cleaning begin!

we love you jenner. you are the best mom in the whole world. I remember driving back from miami sea aquarium and dallin was screaming at the top of his lungs as you were driving down the freeway - i wanted to jump out of the car, or at least throw dallin out and you just calmly said, "dallin... no screaming please..." i can't remember if it worked or not, but i remember thinking, wow, jenns a great mom, no way could i ever be this patient and loving in this situation. (i just picked up the phone to call you to tell you this, but realized its like midnight where you live, or something...) soon you'll be in a more convenient timezone for me :) east coast drools anyway, just ask snoop. ps. oh yeah - you're the best!

Jen, it appears to me that Dallin and Brookie come by their humor and imagination naturally. Their mom has an amazing talent to capture the kids funny moments of your life. Hang in there, I know its been a hard year. We love you. Maggi
