Super Angie..dark and dreary day

HIP HIP HORAY! For the second day in a row, the weather here in Utah has turned Godly. Yes, only those who were raised in the Pacific Northwest will truely appreciate this, but ITS CLOUDY today! Of course my native Utahans complain and wonder how life can continue, but for me, a cloudy day is truely heaven sent. The kids are outside riding bikes without complaining "its so hot!!". The blinds in my house are all open. The pollen count is DOWN! I feel chipper.

So many people complain about summer and about finding a schedule with their kids. I have found a great schedule. Run some errands in the morning, visit "Coffee Creations" --they have THE BEST Carmel Apple Cider ANYWHERE, and their flavored hot chocolates are soooo yummy, visit Rick (from here on out he wants me to refer to him as DH= dear husband) eat lunch, take a nap, read stories to the kids, eat dinner, go rock climbing and go to bed. Seriously...the nap is the kicker! I get Tanith down (she is now 6 months) at 2:00, turn on a TV channel that will play endless hours of cartoons for the boys (Dallin 6, Brennan 3) and off to dreamland I go. Ahhh...mix all this with a cloudy day like today, and its paradise.

Last week I took the kids to Colorado. This is another peice of heaven on earth, in my opinion. We go to Summit County (Breckenridge, Keystone, Dillion, Silverthorne, Frisco). The altitude is 9000 plus feet. It actually snowed on Tuesday and A-Basin was still open for their last weekend of skiing! Crazy, but paradise. I like Summit county for the beauty, but also the weather rocks. Sunrise at 5:30. Bright and sunny but still only 30-40 degrees. Warms up to the 50s-60s and then daily thunder or rain storms in the afternoon. Just heavenly.

I do seem very happy today, don't I? Perhaps its all the drugs. Yeah...I think the drugs do play a part in it. (on heavy Asthma and Allergy drugs right now) Buts thats okay...at least I am happy.

Well, thanks to Tara and Emily for inspiring me to make this blog. And thanks to Lori for being my "middle of the night" email buddy. Love ya tons!

So, signing off from another Heroic day...
