instead of running past mile markers today, i was driving past them. today was the day of the st. jude memphis marathon. shucks. instead of being in memphis, i came to illinois to spend time with my aunt kim and grams. eric is such an awesome daddy - staying at home and fighting it out with the kids. something about the quiet sound of driving past mile markers. alone. one by one. it does something for the soul. until you get sleepy and have to pull over! no, really, every mom needs to get away and focus again on herself. we are just relaxing this weekend and finishing up christmas shopping. it is so nice not to have to think about anything this weekend.
before i forget, kadence and i were in deep conversation about 'the olden days'. eric has been busy remodeling the kitchen and doing the floors in the house and we have been without our tv so we started discussing that people did not used to have tv's or cell phones etc. i explained to her that people used to talk through writing letters and they were even delivered by a guy on a horse because they didn't have cars back then. she was pretty excited and remembered something that she just couldn't wait to share. "mommy, i remember seeing that really old car that one time, remember mommy? ohhhhh it was called... um.... oh yea.... a minivan!" does this classify me as old?
