Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there.  I hope you have a good one.

I was able to talk to my daughter in Italy for a few minutes this morning.  It will be so nice when they are back in the United States so we won't have the time difference between us.

My son arrived at 3 this morning and was awake when I got home from church. We had fun visiting this afternoon - playing games and talking.

My right leg started hurting last night while I was in the store and it is still bothering me tonight when walking.  I am going to try some rest/massage/alternate workouts and see if it gets better - if not I have to consider if it is worth trying Ogden.

STINKY LEGS!! I sure hope it gets feeling better and isn't interferring with Ogden. Is it the same IT problem?

Glad you had a good Mother's day...its fun to get some kissing up at least once a year :)

Maurine,

Do you feel like you're loosing your identity this morning? I DO! Why is it that the day after Mother's Day, the only reminder that I'm still a mother is the dirty kitchen and laundry piling up? It doesn't help that we have to decide what to do with Ogden b/c of our stinkin' injury. Thanks for letting me cry over your shoulder (er pad or blog).

Please tell me your leg is gonna be OKAY! How was the massage and alternate workout? Hope you're feeling better.

I feel your pain, Smooth (still recovering in the IT area myself). Hey - if I do decide to take a pass on Ogden I will be down in American Fork because my sister is doing her first triathlon that morning.
